The website of CBFC India now shows Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer in UA rated movie category, as dated on 19th July. For a movie that has been rated 'R', it generally means that it contains adult themes, sexual scenes and nudity, and certain language that restricts it to adults above the age of 18.
Oppenheimer is rated R for some sexuality, nudity, and language. It is also a long film, clocking in at 180 minutes. So, it is ultimately up to the parents or guardians of the 14-year-olds to decide whether or not they are mature enough to watch the film.
Christopher Nolan ventured into new territory with Oppenheimer by delivering his most adult film, featuring graphic sex scenes and nudity. Some describe Oppenheimer as a 'horror movie' due to its dark themes, making it fitting for an R rating compared to Nolan's previous work.
The film, which was released in India on Friday with much fanfare, was rated by the Central Board of Film Certification U/A, which recommends parental guidance for viewers aged under 12.
Christopher Nolan reportedly opted to censor Oppenheimer
IGN India reports that the film "opted for self-censorship" by Nolan to ensure it received a "UA" rating from India's Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

What is Oppenheimer's age rating?
In the UK, Oppenheimer has been given a 15 rating by the BBFC for “strong language and sex”.

Parents saying that there's “tOo MucH sEx” for their precious teen gotta chill otherwise more than likely your kids gonna hate you when they're adults. If your kid wants to watch the movie don't stop them if they're 14+.
He nicknamed his car Garuda, the mount bird of the Hindu god Vishnu. Oppenheimer never became a Hindu in the traditional sense; he did not join any temple nor pray to any god. He "was really taken by the charm and the general wisdom of the Bhagavad-Gita," his brother said.
There is nothing in this movie that makes it R or A-rated. Pugh scene is added to make it R-rated. A clever marketing trick to make it look like the movie has violent or gory scenes.
But sure enough, the biopic starring Cillian Murphy as the so-called father of the atomic bomb has become a full-fledged blockbuster with a fighting chance at joining the billion-dollar club. After 10 weeks of release, “Oppenheimer” has earned a staggering $926 million at the worldwide box office.
For the most part "Oppenheimer" has about as much language as many of Nolan's other films, like "Inception" or the "Dark Knight" saga. Where it differs is about eight to 10 F-words sprinkled throughout the movie. They do not come all at once, and they are not constant.
R- rated movies are strictly not for kids . Only teenagers above 17 years of age can watch such movies with their parents as they need parental guidance. In a nutshell R- rated movies consist of foul language, brutal violence & brief nudity.
Heavily based on "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer" by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin, the movie stays pretty faithful to the man's eventful, unusual life. But that doesn't mean there aren't some exaggerations or inconsistencies.
The film received an A (adults only) certification from the Central Board of Film Certification on the account of intense action sequences and violence.
Fight scenes are sustained and gory, domestic abuse is thematic, and there are isolated moments of sexual abuse.” The film earns a full five points for 'violence,' with the violence description including, “A man uses a knife to saw at another's throat. A man uses meat cleavers to murder two prisoners.
Ask the theater employees if you can see an age-restricted movie if an adult comes with you. Then, ask your parents, older siblings, or friends if they'll go with you. Or, buy the ticket yourself by appearing older. Wear clothes that are more mature and fit you well, then approach the ticket counter confidently.
Overall Verdict: What Age Is Oppenheimer Appropriate For? I'd give Oppenheimer its R rating based on nudity and sex, for sure. It's also a very adult, complicated movie with a lot of fast talking from scientists discussing high-level concepts about physics, and aspects of World War II.
Albert Einstein plays a significant role in the Christopher Nolan film, "Oppenheimer." In reality, Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer knew each other but weren't friends until much later. The real Einstein wouldn't have helped Oppenheimer with top-secret calculations about the atomic bomb.
Briefed with weaponising atomic energy, the 38-year-old Oppenheimer was chosen by General Leslie Groves to head up the project's secret research laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and oversaw the development of the world's first atomic weapons between 1943-45.
Oppenheimer is rated R for some sexuality, nudity, and language. It is also a long film, clocking in at 180 minutes. So, it is ultimately up to the parents or guardians of the 14-year-olds to decide whether or not they are mature enough to watch the film.
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIH), decibel levels of 100 for 15 minutes can cause some hearing damage. I believe that throughout most of Oppenheimer's three hours, that level was sustained and even exceeded. For this reason, I bring ear protection to movie theaters.
