A gripping, engaging, and naked depiction of reality of the society, it's casteism and how this thing affects the lives of people... Narration wise, acting wise, technical wise a brilliant movie.

The film was more like a documentary type. As watching from the beginning I felt it somewhat similar to ayushman khurana movie article 15. The film basically deals with casteism prevailed in India, the poor village conditions, police department attitude towards the people and all. The film as a whole doesn't contain any bgm or elevation scenes. It depicts how a raw investigation is done. At the end it gives us the reality that we cannot change the social evils present in our society. We should accept the reality. We won't get that hope that was given in the 'Article 15' movie from this movie santhosh. The performance of all actors were good.

There are 2 type of untouchables: one no one wants to touch. Second no one can touch them.

Above dialogue aptly shows the indian society structure or we can say the power structure of our country. There is no justice for the poor.

Acting wise , both lead actresses are damn good. I wouldve loved to see them in a web series together.

Plot was good, but the main important point of film is its tone. It no where uses too much of filmy tropes, remains simple, and tries to show more of raw and real scenes from such stories.

After seeing such films i feel, we are sill very behind. Power is still with few people while rest just survive and live somehow. They dont expect anything from police or from government. No one wants them except at the time of elections.

Sandhya Suri's Santosh is not just a film-it's an experience. A searing, meticulously crafted drama, it explores power, gender, and caste violence with a rare blend of nuance and intensity. This is award-worthy cinema, driven by razor-sharp storytelling and top-tier performances.

The film follows a woman who, after her husband's death, is appointed as a police constable. What follows is an unflinching look at the systemic casual sexism within the force and the grim realities of caste-based violence. Suri's direction is exceptional, layering the narrative with biting satire and small but powerful details that add authenticity. Every frame serves a purpose, every moment feels earned.

I know for the fact that no one will appreciate this type of cinema in india, there are only a handful of films that has manage to blend social commentary with gripping storytelling as effectively as Santosh.

This is a cinematic art that should be praised.

I will go with 9/10 for this one.

Santosh is a cinematic masterpiece that transcends genres, leaving an indelible mark on your heart and mind. The film weaves together rich storytelling, compelling characters, and breathtaking visuals in a way that few others can. What sets Santosh apart is its ability to capture the essence of human emotion, from moments of joy to the most painful of experiences, with an authenticity that resonates deeply.

The performances are extraordinary, with the lead actor delivering a powerful, nuanced portrayal that keeps you invested in their journey. Every scene feels intentional, whether it's a quiet moment of reflection or a pivotal turning point. The direction is brilliant, making each frame feel like a work of art, beautifully framed and shot.

The score adds another layer of depth, elevating the emotional impact of the film without ever overpowering the storytelling. From start to finish, Santosh takes you on an unforgettable journey, challenging your perceptions while reminding you of the power of love, sacrifice, and resilience.

With its masterful combination of direction, acting, and an unforgettable narrative, Santosh is a film that will stay with you long after you've seen it. It's the kind of movie that reminds you why cinema is such a powerful medium - to touch hearts, provoke thought, and inspire change.
