Santosh15
Under a government scheme, newly widowed Santosh inherits her late husband’s job as a police constable in the rural badlands of Northern India. When a young girl’s body is discovered, she is drawn into the investigation under the guidance of a bold, feminist inspector. With meticulous attention to procedural detail, Sandhya Suri’s gripping thriller offers a nuanced character study of a female officer grappling with moral dilemmas, exposing the deep-rooted oppression enforced by the caste system.
Reviews
‘As well as working rivetingly as a procedural thriller and a psychological study, Santosh has a hard, documentary-like edge, exploring Indian social phenomena with intense analytical focus.’
★★★★★
Jonathan Romney, The FT
‘A tough, sinewy, satisfying film.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
