Metrograph has released the official trailer for Santosh, one of the standout films from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. This critically acclaimed film showcases the talent of Shahana Goswami in the titular role, alongside a strong supporting cast including Sunita Rajwar, Sanjay Bishnoi, Kushal Dubey, Nawal Shukla, and Pratibha Awasthi.
Santosh follows the gripping journey of a young widow named Santosh, who, ripped from a life of domesticity, faces the harsh realities of survival. In a bold move, she accepts an unexpected opportunity to inherit her deceased husband’s job as a police officer in the rural badlands of India. Under the mentorship of Sharma, a charismatic and commanding older female inspector, Santosh embarks on a harrowing investigation into the brutal murder of a low-caste girl. This investigation thrusts her into a gritty world of crime and corruption, compelling her to confront the systemic failures around her as well as her own identity and place within that system.
The film is written and directed by Sandhya Suri, who brings a nuanced perspective to this powerful narrative. Produced by Mike Goodridge, James Bowsher, Balthazar de Ganay, and Alan McAlex, Santosh is positioned as a poignant exploration of social issues intertwined with personal resilience.
Having premiered earlier this year at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, Santosh has already garnered significant attention and praise from audiences and critics alike, marking it as a breakout film in the international circuit.
Fans and film enthusiasts won’t have to wait long to see Santosh on the big screen. Metrograph Pictures is set to release the film in cinemas on December 27, 2024, offering audiences a chance to experience this compelling story of strength and justice.
With its gripping narrative and strong performances, Santosh promises to be a must-see film that addresses critical societal themes while providing an engaging cinematic experience. As anticipation builds ahead of its release, it stands as a testament to the rich storytelling coming out of India and its impact on the global film landscape.
