Moderate sexual content. A comedy-drama about four orphans hunting for a rental home, told with the director's trademark adult humour and double-entendre jokes; the last stretch turns philosophical about what family really means.

Parents ask
Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Petromax OK for kids?
Filmi puts Petromax 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 Petromax suitable for?
12+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A. 1 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Petromax?
What the record shows: violence — not on record; language — not on record; sex or nudity — moderate; drink or drugs — not on record; frightening scenes — not on record. 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 Petromax?
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.
