Moderate scary or upsetting scenes: a boy cries inconsolably after losing his innocence on cruel, dreadful streets. A street-kid drama set in Mumbai's slums and red-light district; themes of poverty, drug use, prostitution and crude language run through daily survival, alongside a poignant, sometimes distressing look at lost childhood innocence. Also moderate sexual content, moderate substance use and mild bad language.
