A subversion of the standard police procedural... hits like a train.

Santosh

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. It plunges her into a feral world of crime and corruption, forcing her to confront not only the brokenness of the system around her, but her own place within it.

"Gripping... a compelling drama." — The Hollywood Reporter

"Whip-smart... Santosh lays bare the dark heart of communal divisions in modern India." — Variety
