Cinema certificates
The CBFC currently issues the following certificates.
Symbol | Name | Definition/Notes |
---|---|---|
U | Universal | All ages admitted, there is nothing unsuitable for children. Films under this category should not upset children over 4. This rating is similar to the MPAA's G, the BBFC's U, and the OFLC's G ratings. |
U/A | Parental Guidance | All ages admitted, but certain scenes may be unsuitable for children under 12. This rating is similar to the MPAA's PG-13, the BBFC's 12A, and the OFLC's PG and M ratings. |
A | Adults Only | Only adults are admitted. Nobody younger than 18 may rent or buy an A-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category do not have limitation on the bad language that is used. Hard drugs are generally allowed, and strong violence/sex references along with non-detailed sexual activity is also allowed. This rating is similar to the MPAA's R and NC-17, the BBFC's 18, and the OFLC's MA and R ratings. |
S | Restricted to any special class of persons | This rating signifies that the film is meant for a specialised audience, such as doctors. |
