Shahana Goswami's 'Santosh' heads to OTT: Release date, platform
The Hindi crime drama "Santosh," directed by Sandhya Suri and starring Shahana Goswami, is streaming on Lionsgate Play from October 17.
The film follows Santosh, a widowed woman who steps into her late husband's police constable role.
Sunita Rajwar also features in the cast.
Film was selected as UK's Oscar entry
After making waves at Cannes, BFI London, and MAMI Mumbai festivals, following the cancelation of its planned January 2025 theatrical release, the film is heading to Lionsgate Play.
Its planned January 2025 theatrical release was reportedly dropped due to censor issues—a big shift for the film.
More about the film
"Santosh" was chosen as the UK's official entry for Best International Feature Film at last year's Oscars.
Critics have praised Goswami and Rajwar's performances and the film's honest look at caste violence, police corruption, and gender challenges in India's law enforcement system.
