Parents ask

Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is The Devil OK for kids?

Filmi puts The Devil 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 The Devil suitable for?

13+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A 13+. 4 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.

What content should parents know about in The Devil?

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 The Devil?

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.
