In this way, the film shows how becoming a police officer inspires him to oppose everyday sexism. For Santosh, this work is a chance to avoid harassment that will be ruined otherwise. This gives him financial freedom, security and respect. But the film is also clearly conceptual about how satisfaction itself slows down the rules of this system. Over time, satisfaction realizes the power that depends on it along with the license – and adequate encouragement – to misuse it.
In the beginning, Santosh is Bhola and well intention. He is the one who brings Devika’s father to the police station and asks Inspector Thakur to file a complaint for his missing daughter. We look at his inconvenience because Thakur humiliates this bereaved father, is asking him about his caste, making fun of his poverty, and refusing to take him seriously. She also intervenes, offering to write the report of the missing person for her.
Such scenes bare systemic discrimination against Dalits by the police, strengthening the state’s oppression against the minorities of Suri. They also predict the horror to follow the horror.
