Santosh is a 2024 Hindi-language police procedural crime drama film written and directed by Sandhya Suri. Set in rural north India, it stars Shahana Goswami as a widow who inherits her late husband’s job of police constable and is involved in the investigation of the murder and rape of a Dalit teenager.
Santosh is an international co-production of the United Kingdom, India, Germany, and France, and was intended to be a documentary on sexual abuse in India, but the director decided to create a fiction film after seeing an image of female demonstrators and a female constable in a protest on the 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder.
