Santosh (2024)

Thoughtful and Serious - Santosh review by griggs

Santosh is a thoughtful and serious film that tells an important story about justice, corruption, and gender in modern India. It’s beautifully shot and clearly made with care and purpose, and there’s no doubt it’s a powerful piece of art. The performances are strong, especially from the lead, and the quiet tone gives it a certain weight. That said, it’s not the easiest film to watch—slow in places, and not especially entertaining in the usual sense. Still, it feels like a story that needed to be told, and one that leaves you mulling it over long after it’s finished.
