Sanitised for toddlers

Warning: Spoilers
Don't watch this film in the UK.

Overall its a pleasant comedy about a man who cares for his family to the point of control and assertion. One day his mother rents out a room in the house to a female lodger. The man falls for her and she charms his family and all is going well until the interval.

The film takes a turn i the second half and as the film draws to its conclusion we see the lead get clonked once round the head, arrive at ???? Covered in blood. A one second still picture shows what probably happened a bloody fight. The distributors decided to release this with a 12A certificate, so lazy parents can take their selves to the cinema and drag along toddlers. In return adults watching this film are treated to nothing.

I don't know how Indian audiences tolerate the bowdlerisation of films, Jailer and Leo are two spectacular examples of distributors stupidity actually editing the final confrontations to gain lower certificates.
