Ross McIndoe Slant Magazine The India on display in Santosh is fascinatingly shot through with contradictions. Rated: 3/4 Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety Seldom probes beyond the surface... But in the process, it finds value as an academic inquiry into familiar moving images by forcing the audience to lean forward and inspect their meaning. Jun 1, 2024 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out If ‘Training Day with more grey areas’ sounds dull, it’s anything but. Rated: 4/5 May 28, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Sandhya Suri’s Santosh, is a gripping, gritty look at class inequality and misogyny in today’s India...Santosh does not compromise in exposing the appalling tactics used by the police to force a confession or in its indictment of the ruling class. Rated: B Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Gripping feminist police procedural set in in the rural badlands of Northern India. Rated: B Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express In contrast to the majority of male-driven mainstream films about cops, Santosh isn’t in awe of its protagonist. It is, first and foremost, a character study about a grieving woman trapped in institutions designed to suffocate her, and everybody else. Nov 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
