U.K. Oscar Contender ‘Santosh’ Sets U.S. Release Date, Unveils Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)


Metrograph Pictures has unveiled a trailer and a U.S. release date for British Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri’s 'Santosh.'

In the film, a government scheme sees newly widowed Santosh ( Shahana Goswami) inherit her slain husband’s job as a police constable in the rural badlands of northern India. When an underage girl from one of India’s so-called “lower castes” is murdered, Santosh is pulled into the investigation by charismatic feminist inspector Sharma (Sunita Rajwar). “Santosh” received strong reviews following its Cannes premiere, with Variety calling it a “whip-smart film” that “speaks the language of a fiercely feminist empowerment saga.”
