Is Saani Kaayidham OK for kids?

What age is Saani Kaayidham suitable for?
18+, based on the CBFC rating of A. 4 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Saani Kaayidham?
What the record shows: violence — strong; language — not on record; sex or nudity — strong; drink or drugs — mild; frightening scenes — strong. 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 Saani Kaayidham?
The CBFC certified it A with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
