Susan 01/11/2025 This is a brilliant film, enlightening subtle, and disturbing, with an amazing performance by the lead actress, Shahana Goswami. I attended a matinee performance on Friday and the theater was empty. This film deserves to be experienced by everyone! See more Peter C @Binara Jan 12 Subtitles tiny and white on white. Impossible to read. See more Rangga P @Ranggasaurus Dec 11 The film has a unique point of view about the role of women in the Indian police force. The problems within the police system seem similar to what we see in Indonesia. Women still don’t get an equal place with men in professional settings. The film feels bland at the beginning. The plot only starts to get interesting when Devinka’s body is found and placed on the road in front of the police station by her parents as a protest against the slow police response. One thing that felt strange to me is how Saleem never goes through a proper process to confirm whether he is the real suspect. He immediately faces torture during the interrogation about his motive. This part doesn’t sit right with me.

Fascinating story about a female investigator in a small village in the rural north of the country. The protagonist not only has to face societal taboo regarding women’s roles, but also overcome ingrained departmental malaise. Some small technical issues, but the locations contribute to the film’s genuine voice and make it worth the watch. See more Evan C Jul 20 A bit late to this, but #Santosh is an incredibly eye-opening look at caste, police corruption & sexual abuse in rural India. Its deliberate pace & intermittent brutality can be a lot. But Shahana Goswami is such a compelling lead, deftly guiding us through this layered mystery.

The plot covers various topics ranging from police brutality, the everyday struggles of the marginalized section among others. The scenes of police brutality and the misuse of power are very raw and disturbing in nature. It's not a surprise that Santhosh has made both the censor board and government uncomfortable.
