Parents should know
Strong violence: villagers are tortured with axes cutters spikes and hammers in closeup. A revenge thriller based on a 1986 Kerala police-brutality case; shows graphic torture and violence, references sexual assault, and adds a romantic subplot critics call needless. Also moderate scary or upsetting scenes and moderate sexual content.
