There are several battle scenes depicted in the film featuring sword and gun-fighting, with some slashing and shooting visible.

Some of the stronger scenes include one in which a man is slashed briefly in the throat before another man is surrounded and stabbed by guards with spears; a scene featuring a close shot of a woman being stabbed in the stomach; a scene of a man wrestling another man in a stream before stabbing the latter repeatedly; etc.

The impact of the violent acts is visible in most of the above-mentioned scenes, but only briefly and is accompanied by the sight of blood in some instances.

The film also contains the use of coarse language such as the swear word 'f**k' which is uttered by some of the characters mostly out of frustration.

Set across two time periods and continents, 'The Lovers' is an action-romance drama about a marine archaeologist who lies brain dead in a hospital after a dangerous dive to save his wife. His dream-like coma takes him back to India in the past where a young captain who bears a striking resemblance to him falls in love with a female Indian warrior. Their fate is intertwined by the power of a magical ring, which may potentially save the marine archaeologist's life.
