Supplementary notes

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India initially or permanently refuses to rate or release films if they indulge in strong language, suggestive scenes, gender taboos, political issues (specifically involving Kashmir) and religion. This happens largely as a result of petitions to state or central governments or protests from individuals or groups.

Figures may not not add up to 100 due to rounding off.
