Before its forthcoming trailer premiere on July 24, Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer Ramayana has received an 'M' (Mature) rating from the Australian Classification Board. This is because of its moderate violence; the film is not recommended for viewers under 15 years old due to violent scenes.

Ramayana movie update

A 34-minute footage from Nitesh Tiwari’s epic mythological film has been officially classified by the Australian Classification Board. The extended footage is awarded an ‘M’ certificate and the content advisory says ‘moderate violence.’

The certification comes just days before the film's much awaited trailer launch, which will be held on July 24 at the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). The event will also include exclusive footage from the film, and the world's first full audience will get a look at one of India's most ambitious film projects.

The Australia ‘M’ classification is an advisory rating and not a restricted category. While the content is suitable for mature audiences, children under 15 can still watch it if accompanied or at the discretion of their parents or guardians. The rating is intended to tell viewers that the material may not be suitable for younger children.

Ramayana is one of the most eagerly awaited Indian movies of recent years, with Nitesh Tiwari as director. Ranbir Kapoor is key to the film, and Yash is playing another important character. The project has received so much attention for its grand scale of visuals and re-creation of the ancient Indian epic.

This 34-minute presentation certifies that audiences at Comic-Con will be treated to an extended show with scenes from the film, instead of just trailers. The presentation will highlight the movie’s visual grandeur, action sequences, and world-building.

The rating of 'M' has caused some discussion on social media, with many fans believing the film’s battle sequences and action-driven storytelling might have contributed to the classification. However, the rating is for the 34-minute footage reviewed by the Australian Classification Board and is not necessarily the final classification of the finished feature film in different countries.

With the global trailer release coming up soon, anticipation for Ramayana is building as we get closer to the international release date, which will be presented for fans at San Diego Comic-Con.
