What is film Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ? : Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is a Statutory body under Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, regulating the public exhibition of films under the provisions of the Cinematograph Act, 1952.

Well these ratings represent Indian films rating given by Central certification board after assessment. Based on content of the film, films are rated as U, U/A, A and S.

When you start watching Indian movie, you would find this certificate first which will mention the specific rating allocated to movie.

1.U (Unrestricted Public Exhibition) : Films with the U certification are fit for public exhibition, and are often family friendly. These films can contain universal themes like education, family, drama, romance, sci - fi, and action etc. Now, these films can also contain some mild violence, but it should not be prolonged. It may also contain very mild saxual scenes (without any traces of nudity or saxual detail).

2.U/A (Parental Guidance for children below the age of 12 years) :
Films with the UA certification can contain moderate adult themes, that are not strong in nature and can be watched by a child under parental guidance. These films can contain some strong violence, moderate sax (without any traces of nudity or saxual detail), frightening scenes and muted abusive and filthy language.

3.A (Restricted to adults) : Films with the A certification are available for public exhibition, but with restriction to adults. These films can contain heavily strong violence, strong sax (but full frontal and rear nudity is not allowed usually), strong coarse language (but words which insults and degrades woman are not allowed) and even some controversial and adult themes considered unsuitable for young viewers. Such films are often re-certified for TV and video viewing, which doesn't happen in case of U and UA certified movies.
