Santosh

Santosh eagerly accepts the so-called 'compassionate appointment' – a convention where a policeman's widow inherits his job. But the reality of the role, the bigotry and violence which surround it, eat away at her conscience. As she joins the search for a missing girl it becomes clear that justice is not open to all.
This deft thriller is a complex character study showing the wrongs perpetuated in the name of caste and privilege with suspense, social comment and an electric central performance.
