Parents ask
Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Thandel OK for kids?
Filmi puts Thandel at 13+ — suitable for 13 and over. The CBFC certified it U/A 13+. 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 Thandel suitable for?
13+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A 13+. 3 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Thandel?
What the record shows: violence — moderate; language — mild; sex or nudity — not on record; drink or drugs — not on record; 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 Thandel?
The CBFC certified it U/A 13+ with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
