Parents should know
Moderate violence: mob killings and murders occur, one shown with a flamethrower. A psychological thriller where a couple's move to a rural estate turns menacing: stalking, voyeurism and sexual harassment escalate before the husband confronts the threat; climax violence is stylised; real. Also moderate scary or upsetting scenes and moderate sexual content.

What content should parents know about in Varathan?

What the record shows: violence — moderate; language — not on record; sex or nudity — moderate; drink or drugs — not on record; frightening scenes — moderate. A category left blank means nobody documented it, not that the film is clean — the full record, quoted with sources, is on this page.
