Santosh

Filmmaker Sandhya Suri has crafted a gripping tale about the terrifying power of authority. In rural India, Santosh, a widow, takes over her late husband’s police job just when a young low-caste girl, reported missing, is raped and murdered. Sharma, a respected and fierce policewoman who is investigating the crime, enlists Santosh as her assistant, who soon learns that finding a murderer requires some extra judicial actions as well. UK’s entry for Oscar’s Best International Film.
