When her husband dies, Santosh takes on his job as a police officer. She ends up stuck in a world of crime and questionable methods. She also ends up getting involved in the murder of a young girl.
This is a very good thriller that wants to say a great deal about how society views women and police. It's a film that has a lot going on but at the same time it also is a compelling thriller that keeps us watching because we genuinely want to know how this plays out. I stayed with it to the end even the pace slackened for a little bit because I had to know how it comes out.
The best way to describe this is as a kind of modern noir set in India/
While I would be very surprised if the film makes the final Oscar cut, I am happy it got into the Oscar mix so that it will get onto the radar of people who will fall in love with it.
Very recommended.
