In rural India, 28-year-old Santosh avails of a scheme to inherit her late husband’s job as a police officer. A diligent worker, she is taken under the wing of an older officer while investigating a young woman’s murder. The investigation reveals disturbing truths about class divides, as well as the troubling lengths Santosh’s colleagues will go to find a culprit.

This feature debut from the British-Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri is a sharp, probing study of police corruption and deep-rooted social tensions in modern India. Led by an impressively restrained and nuanced central performance from Sahana Goswami, Santosh boldly sets itself apart from other police procedurals through its richly drawn setting, themes and characters.

★★★★★ “A phenomenal achievement… a punchy, muscular Hindi-language police procedural.” - Wendy Ide, The Observer

“This is a film about how violence and corruption can become so commonplace that they barely even register, and how quickly a regular person like Santosh can become part of the engine of dehumanization.” - Ross McIndoe, Slant Magazine
