When there was a lot of chatter around India’s entry for the Oscars, one country’s submission really caught our eyes. It was a film called 'Santosh' which was the UK’s entry. We googled it and were pleasantly surprised to see it was a Hindi-language film set in rural North India. The international coproduction has been shortlisted for the Best International Film Award at the Oscars and has emerged as one of the top candidates to be in the top 5 nominations. Recently, I got to interview director Sandhya Suri and the lead actor Shahana Goswami, and couldn’t stop thinking, “Wow, I am talking to potential Oscar winners”. Click on the link in the bio to read our candid chat about their film, which doesn’t shy away from showing the mirror to society, but without pointing fingers at anyone. ✍️: @soumyasekhardas [ Santosh , Oscar , Shortlist , interview ] #SWEditDesk
