Fictional movie “Santosh” by Sadhya Suri blocked for release in India because its portrayal of misogyny, Islamophobia and violence in the Indian police force is too close to reality.

    Watched this in the cinemas in the Netherlands last year, really powerful movie and seemingly accurate portrayal of affairs in India without seeming biased. The movie doesn’t come across as blaming anyone but rather as just helplessness at the fucked up nature of the system. Strong heart of darkness/apocalypse now vibes too.
