Sex & Nudity

  • There is a theme of sexual violence which is sustained throughout the film, this includes frequent verbal references to sexual violence and brief visual instances during flashbacks. Visual instances include brief shots of the victims arm's and legs being bound prior to the attack, and sight of the terrified and distressed victims attempting to flee. The victims are also established to be underage within the context of where the film is set.
  • It is mentioned that the girls were gangraped and hanged. Nothing of the actual rape is shown however, and details of the rape itself are established through discussion alone.
  • A man is seen shirtless in one scene.
  • As the film has a storyline of a case of missing girls who were hanged, people frequently suggest that they were raped.
  • In the start of the movie, we see 2 girls in a bus, of which one of them is implied to have been raped. Again nothing shown. Only off-screen.

Violence & Gore

  • There are moments of strong violence, which include a scene in which a group of characters are tied to a car and beaten in the street with large wooden sticks. In a subsequent scene the characters are seen in pain with bloodied backs. There are also several bloody shootings.
  • There is an extended scene in which a police officer discovers the corpses of two teenagers hanging from a tree. There is somewhat of a focus placed on both the corpses and the hanging itself.

  • Some men are shot and killed.
  • A man jumps in front of a truck on purpose though nothing graphic shown.
  • Two young girls are shown hanging from a tree. It is implied that they were murdered. The scene is very detailed and quite long. Maybe disturbing for some

  • The strong language used includes several uses of the word 'fuck', mostly in anger (Eg. "What the fuck is happening or Get the fuck out"). Other frequent uses of pretty mild profanity include uses of the terms 'saala', 'shit' and 'God'.
