Santosh is a 2024 Hindi-language police procedural crime drama film written and directed by Sandhya Suri. It is an international co-production of the United Kingdom, India, Germany, and France. 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.

Production

The film was directed by British-Indian film director Sandhya Suri. Suri, who had worked with nongovernmental organizations in northern India, wanted to create a documentary on the context of sexual abuse against women in India as a follow-up to the 2005 documentary I for India. She eventually dropped the project as she struggled to translate her research "as a documentary form because it was just too horrific".

Principal photography occurred over 45 days from August to October 2023 in and around Lucknow, India. The cast is composed of both professional and nonprofessional actors. One person from the production's catering team was selected as an actor. The person who would portray the mother of the deceased girl was an observer who asked what was going on while the film crew prepared the film location at a police station.

British film producer James Bowsher decided that the setting would be an unnamed city in India for its portrayal of local police. Producers decided not to apply for the Uttar Pradesh Film Subsidy to avoid filming stipulations from local authorities. While editing the film, producers debated whether to include a score to add tension in several scenes. Director Suri did not add a score.
