Mumbai: Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri’s film ‘Santosh’, which was sent by Britain as its official entry for the Oscar, is stuck in the censor board in India. This raises the question whether this film will be released in theaters in India.
Indian actress Shahana Goswami is playing the lead role in this film, which tells the story of a widow who works in a police force in place of her husband and how she handles a sensitive case like murder of a Dalit girl.
Shahana said that the censor board has released a long list of cuts in the film. If we do all these cuts, then the original essence of the film will be over. The film’s producer Sandhya Suri also described the censor board’s objections as very disappointing. He said that everyone in India knows about the issues we have raised in this film and it is also shown in other films. However, it is not clear why this film has been stopped.
This film has received a lot of praise in the country and abroad. It is also shown at a film festival in Mumbai. According to a member of the censor board, the manufacturers are not ready to accept a single cut and this has caused a deadlock.
