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 Lovia Gyarkye Hollywood Reporter This assured sense of direction coupled with controlled performances make Santosh a compelling drama. But it’s Suri’s screenplay that renders the film immersive. May 24, 2024 Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine SANTOSH is a patient film – almost to a fault as the film moves towards a conclusion – that [...] illustrates how a dysfunctional environment can pervert the meagre empowerment it offers marginalised people. Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest "A debut set apart by its particular societal setting, but brings the strong, familiar pleasures of a Sidney Lumet-style police procedural." Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Writer/director Sandhya Suri - who has a documentary background - is keen to show that everyone plays their part in the prejudices and corruption of the legal system Rated: 4/5 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
