In Detail

Santosh (Shahana Goswami) is an emotionally bruised young woman who takes up the option of ‘compassionate appointment’, a scheme in India that enables women to take up their deceased husband’s old jobs.

When a girl’s body is found, her lazy, bribable fellow officers, under the command of bullying Inspector Sharma, seem to do anything but the right thing.

This terrific slow-burn drama is the anti-Hollywood version of the straight-arrow cop navigating corruption on the force (think ‘LA Confidential’ and ‘Serpico’). Quality filmmaking.
