Our take

The final film in maverick Bengali filmaker Ritwik Ghatak’s “Partition Trilogy” shows a director working at the height of his powers. Melding the poetry of neo-realism and melodrama, The Golden Thread humanely exposes societal prejudice, portraying the refugee experience with the tenderness of hope.
