As a dedicated follower and admirer of Shahana Goswami’s work, it is truly heartening to see her film Santosh being shortlisted as the UK’s entry for the 97th Academy Awards. Having witnessed her versatile performances in movies like Heroine, Rock On 2, Despatch, and others, I have no doubt that this talented actress will bring the same passion and dedication to her role in Santosh.
Yesterday, the 97th Academy Awards unveiled their shortlists across various categories. In the Documentary Short Film category, the Hindi-language crime drama film Santosh was selected as the UK’s entry. Lately, actress Shahana Goswami expressed her excitement about this development, stating that she has a strong intuition suggesting the movie will make it to the nominations.
Actress Shahana Goswami feels elated as her film Santosh has been chosen to represent the UK in the upcoming 97th Academy Awards (Oscars). In an interview with Hindustan Times, she expressed her joy, pride, and encouragement over this achievement. She also acknowledged that it’s a moment of triumph for director Sandhya Suri and the entire Santosh movie team.
Shanana, who has been involved in movies such as Heroine, Rock On 2, Despatch, among others, expressed her excitement at the prospect of things working out for the film. Yet, she remains content if it doesn’t pan out. “However, I have a strong feeling that the movie will be nominated,” Shanana, who portrays a police officer in the film, shared.
To clarify, Santosh is one of fifteen films under consideration for nomination in this category. You might wonder why the film was chosen as the UK’s entry instead of India’s. It’s because it’s an international collaboration between the United Kingdom, India, Germany, and France. Consequently, the UK submitted it as their entry for the Oscars. Nevertheless, the 38-year-old actress believes that India should take pride in the movie being recognized for a prestigious award like the Oscars.
Speaking openly about her views, the actress from Zwigato expressed that she strongly opposes separation. Furthermore, it’s important to note that a large Indian crew is behind the creation of this movie. Therefore, people have every right to take pride in it too. She further added that the topic isn’t limited to one country, but rather it’s about narrative and diversity. Shahana concluded by saying, “It’s all about storytelling and embracing different cultures. The origin of the film may vary, but the story is deeply connected to India.
