The short answer is: there is no hard-and-fast rule for how movies are rated -- they're completely at the mercy of the whims of the Motion Picture Association of America.

I don't know how things work in America but mostly in India the more the producers pay the critics, the more stars the movie gets.

See if you can find a movie called
THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED
It's absolutly scandalous!
Movie ratings are given by a group of SELF APPOINTED people.
Some retire and when they do, the others in the group APPOINT THEM!!!
Some directors get really pissed off because they are told their movie contains scenes that are 'unacceptable'. Thus they are given 18 certificates which means some movie theatres either refuse to show them, or give them a very limited run.
