a film by pushan kripalani

Official website of the 2015 film directed by Pushan Kripalani, starring Neena Gupta and Rajit Kapur, and produced by Blackboxers Productions.

One of the best acted Indian films of recent years
— Derek Malcolm (Film Critic, Hon. President - International Film Critics Association (Fipresci), President - British Federation of Film Societies)
Part Cassavetes - part Bergman, Pushan Kripalani’s propulsive The Threshold records the final hours (perhaps) of a vintage marriage in a tight and sustained drama that is, at once, revelatory and thoroughly riveting.
— Laurence Kardish (Senior Curator (emeritus), Film, The Museum of Modern Art, New York)
The Threshold, spare as it is, is held together by the outstanding performances of its two protagonists ... and directed with considerable skill and control by its first time director...
— Shyam Benegal
A film that makes you envious of the makers experience of making it
— R. Balki
The Threshold really held me from the first moment to the last and Pushan Kripalani is a film maker I want to work with!
— Kalki Koechlin
Wasn’t expecting such a sensitively directed, brilliantly portrayed, slice of life of a film. It will strike a cord universally because it is so real. Hard to believe such a young man has made it. Can’t wait to see more of his work.
— Malavika Sangghvi, mid-day
Something real and raw and honest, attributes which aren’t necessarily present in some of the more heralded Indian films
— Uday Bhatia, LiveMint
The Threshold is beautiful. It’s simplicity of subject with complex emotions told so endearingly.... With stunning performances in a perfect setting ..... Really liked it a lot!
— Gauri Shinde
It’s an incredible conversation. A scalpel wielded by very gentle hands. It’s a beautiful film.
