Edit 2 - For those who don't know about 'S' certified movies
The last time a film was given an S certificate in India was in 2008[1] .
By their very definition, S rated movies are likely to be highly technical & specialized. Since they may also cover classified topics especially related to defence or engineering, you are unlikely to get a list of these movies online.Further, the CBFC website[2] states that exhibition of an “S” certified film to persons other than those for whom it is meant is a “major violations that agitate the minds of the public”. It is a violation of the Indian Cinematograph Act of 1952.
You can file an RTI if you really want to know the answer, but the information is generally unavailable on public forums.
