‘Santosh’ Continues Facing Indian Censorship Hurdles (EXCLUSIVE)


India-set film film 'Santosh' continues being in censorship limbo for its release in the country.

While PVR still holds the rights for India distribution, the film continues to play at festivals in its uncut version as the team contemplates their next steps. “Santosh” follows a widow who inherits her deceased husband’s position as a police constable in rural north India and becomes involved in investigating the murder of an underage girl from a marginalized caste community. Goswami spoke about what drew her to the role: “It’s the kind of film that I would love to watch because it’s not didactic, that’s not preachy … You’re just following a character through her ups and downs, her transgressions, her mistakes, her victories, but without judgment and without moralizing everything.”
