The new trailer has debuted for Sandhya Suri’s acclaimed film SANTOSH which has been selected by the UK to be its official submission to the Oscars for Best International Film. Celebrated by audiences at top film festivals this year such as Cannes, Toronto and London, the crime thriller has also been named as one of the Top 5 international films of 2024 by the National Board of Review. Earning a perfect 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, the award-winning motion picture begins its theatrical release on December 27th.
Ripped from her life of domesticity, Santosh, a young widow now desperate to support herself, accepts an opportunity to inherit her husband’s job as a police officer in the rural badlands of India. Quickly taken under the wing of Sharma, a charismatic and commanding older female inspector, Santosh begins an investigation into a low-caste girl’s brutal murder that plunges her into a gritty world of crime and corruption, forcing her to confront not only the brokenness of the system around her, but her own place within it.
