Content flags
We haven’t watched the film. Every flag comes from a documentary source — the board’s record, the BBFC’s notes, or a reviewer’s on-record warning. A blank means nobody documented it — not that it’s clean.

Parents ask
Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Manto OK for kids?
Filmi puts Manto at 12+ — suitable for 12 and over. The CBFC certified it U/A. That comes from the certificate and from what reviewers documented, not from anyone at Filmi watching the film — every claim on this page is quoted with its source.
What age is Manto suitable for?
12+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A. 3 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Manto?
Documented so far: violence — mild, drink or drugs — moderate, frightening scenes — moderate. A category left blank means nobody documented it, not that the film is clean — the full record, quoted with sources, is on this page.
Did the censor board cut anything from Manto?
The CBFC certified it U/A with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
Seen it with your kids?
What age would you say?
You have watched it, they have not. What is the youngest age you would sit next to? The board puts it at 12+; your pick joins a parents’ number that sits beside it and never replaces it.

Public, beside your note. Needed once you write words; an age pick alone needs none.
Saved. One more thing, if you like — your kids’ ages.
Set once, and your vote shows other parents which ages it came from. Kept on your account; only the ages travel with your vote.

Parent note
A biopic of writer Saadat Hasan Manto, set amid Partition riots and his own decline into alcoholism; critics praise its themes of free expression and defiance, though nothing graphic is described on screen.
