Film Santosh Nominated For Oscars 2025: British-Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri's Hindi film 'Santosh' has been given an official entry by the British Academy to the Oscars 2025. The film will compete in the International Feature Film category and its lead roles include Indian actresses Shahana Goswami and Sunita Rajwar.

The film garnered a lot of attention during its screening in the Un-Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival in 2023. Last year, the UK had its first win in this category when Jonathan Glazer's 'The Zone of Interest' was declared the winner. Now with 'Santosh', the UK has high hopes this year.

What is the story of the film 'Santosh'?

The story of this film is based in a village in North India, where a widow Santosh takes over her husband's job as a police constable after his death. When a minor girl from an underprivileged caste is murdered, Santosh investigates the case. Santosh is played by Shahana Goswami in the film, while Sunita Rajwar also plays an important role.

Directed by Sandhya Suri

Sandhya Suri has directed a feature film for the first time. Prior to this, she has directed documentaries like 'I for India' (2005) and 'Around India with a Movie Camera' (2018). She has also written the screenplay of the film herself. Sandhya said that through this film she has tried to raise the issue of violence against women.

The basis of the film's creation was formed when Sandhya saw pictures of women protesting during the Nirbhaya case. This incident inspired her and she did in-depth research on women police officers.

The film was produced jointly

'Santosh' is produced by James Bosher, Balthazar de Ganay, Mike Goodridge and Alan McAleaux. The film is also funded by Good Choice, Razor Film Productions, Haut et Court, BBC Film and BFI. Its music is composed by Luisa Gersten and its cinematography is by Lennart Hilleg.

The film is ready to compete in the Oscars

Now that 'Santosh' has been included in the Oscar race, the producer and cast of this film are hopeful that this film will perform very well in the Oscars and it is possible that the film will also get an award. After the recognition this film got in the UK, Indian audiences also want to watch this film now.
