Siddartha (Dhritiman Chatterjee) is forced to discontinue his medical studies due to unexpected and brutal death of his father. He has to now find a job in stead. In one job interview, he is asked to name the most significant world event in the last ten years. His reply is 'the plain human courage shown by the people of Vietnam', instead of the expected - man landing on moon. The interviewer asks is he is a communist. Needles to say that he does not get the job.
He reaches a coffee shop where he is offered to work for the communist party. When he does not show any interest the party leader tells him about an opening for a medical representative. To escape from the heat and have a snooze, he goes in to a cinema. As a government propaganda newsreel is being shown before the feature, a bomb explodes in the cinema hall. In the stampede that follows, Siddartha, breaks his watch. He goes to a watchmaker but he cannot afford the repairs.
Waiting to cross the road, he notices a sexy girl. He drifts back to his days as a medical student in a flashback. The professor is explaining anatomy of female breast. Many flashbacks and dreams occur to Siddartha through the film.
On his way to hostel, he has an encounter with some hippies. Along with an ex-classmate, he goes out to see a porn film but to their disappointment, the film turns out to be not-so-pornographic.
In such constant wandering in a Calcutta, disintegrated relationships with his sister and a Naxalite (militant communist) brother, his friendship with Keya is only thing that keeps him sane.
Keya is a simple girl. They enjoy each other's company but they cannot make any commitment to each other due to the circumstances.
After yet another attempt at a job interview, Siddartha leaves the big city to take a modest job of a salesman in a far off small town. He writes to Keya that he still cherishes their relationship. And that he has heard that bird call again but this time it is for real, and not his mind. After completing the letter, he comes out to the balcony of his modest room. The bird calls again. He also hears the sombre chants of a funeral procession. As he turns to the camera, the picture is frozen.
This is the first film of the Calcutta Trilogy. The other two were and Seemabaddha (Company Limited, 1971) and Jana Aranya (The Middle Man, 1975). All the three films study the effect the big city of Calcutta has on the educated youth and the price it extracts from them.
The seventies were a difficult period for India and West Bengal. The Corruption was rampant; the Naxalite movement had created havoc in Calcutta. In fact, they had turned parts of Calcutta into 'liberated zones'. By the time the Naxalite movement died down, in 1975, Mrs. Indira Gandhi (then, Prime Minister of India) suppressed the fundamental rights and declared "Emergency" for her own political survival. Her son, Sanjay Gandhi became a dictator of sorts without any official designation. The opposition leaders were thrown into prisons.
About his social responsibilities as a filmmaker, in an interview with Cineaste magazine, Ray commented, "You can see my attitude in The Adversary where you have two brothers. The younger brother is a Naxalite. There is no doubt that the elder brother admires the younger brother for his bravery and convictions. The film is not ambiguous about that. As a filmmaker, however, I was more interested in the elder brother because he is the vacillating character. As a psychological entity, as a human being with doubts, he is a more interesting character to me. The younger brother has already identified himself with a cause. That makes him part of a total attitude and makes him unimportant. The Naxalite movement takes over. He, as a person, becomes insignificant."
In a letter to Seton in 1970, Ray wrote that Pratidwandi was the most provocative film he had made till then. The film is said to have evoked extreme reactions. "People either loved the film or hated it", Dhritiman Chatterjee told Andrew Robinson, Ray's biographer.
话痨的卖拷贝，花里胡哨的航拍镜头真是讨厌，又晕又晃，只能说穿越机公司给的太多了，无处不在的镜头光晕也是特别恶心。大量特写镜头塑造紧张感，但这个节奏确实特别能拖拉，美国警察真辣鸡!连个老兵的孩子都没钱做手术，资本主义真是烂透了。
都是自家人我就不端着了 男主请你给我口 谢谢二位的床上演出 其他只能说白人真的很傻白甜
这就是个烂俗的爱情故事啊。女主不是傻白甜加一星
两颗星是给男女主颜值
哈哈哈哈什么乱七八糟的，但是俊男靓女谈恋爱赏心悦目还有啥好说的✌🏻
看了个寂寞，三分钟一调情五分钟一别扭，什么会
摊手。
哈哈哈哈哈俺就知道大家都被宣传片过去啦啊哈哈哈哈（还没天空之上够霸总内味儿）女主眉眼之间有点儿像Lily Collins
我命中注定的老公😭😭😭老公眼睛真的好漂亮啊…抢银行穿的那一身真的好帅😭😭😭不知道下一次在电影院里看老公又是什么时候了。（因为没有抱着想看到什么新鲜玩意儿的念头，所以并没有失望🚬
以为是青春片，结果上高速。以为是19🈲️，结果男主的片段也只有个屁股蛋。以为是辛德瑞拉，但扭捏做作加跟踪这种桥段让人下头。（看的英文配音，和国语不一样哎，英配好自然像原音）
最近抖音有刷到过，再者aryan也推荐给我，就来看了，本以为能和他有个话题，结果他不上线，😒。
笑死，这是after2.0吧。又土又俗还离谱，但我居然就是要看。
不过还挺有意思的😂
全程快节奏，情节没有主次，观感和变形金刚一样累
这剧情给我土笑了 男孩的故事笑死我了 中间有点尴尬但是有这颜值确实可以掩盖一些 甜美大欢喜结局我永远喜欢😁
看了半天我居然都没分清差和匪，当匪的一直努力救人，当差的一直各种打枪，就这乱的一匹的剧本有爆炸贝的砰砰砰也没用。
竟然很好看，但也有很多迈克尔贝的臭毛病。看看本阿弗莱克的《城中大道》就知道，追车和镜头炫技从来不是这类警匪片最重要的元素（何况撞水果摊有什么爽点啊大哥）。封闭的救护车空间里放下复杂身份共同营救将死的警察是非常有张力的戏码。交给马克沃尔伯格和彼得伯格，用《恐袭波士顿》的调子拍，这片肯定能7.5分往上。
你说他们善良吧他们又去抢银行；你说他们不善良吧他们舍命救人质；你说他们关系好吧弟弟为了个人质干死了哥哥；你说他们关系不好吧哥哥为了弟弟拼死相救；看预告以为是双男主硬核警匪片，看完发现是个大女主“黑色喜剧”。卖拷贝日常爆破，摄影炫技，剧本风格混乱价值取向混乱：37场全胜械劫狂人老吉降智拉胯谜之操作，一干人等全是又当又立的圣母婊！扭曲人物强行说教简直恶心！
这是揍嘛呀，我不理解。但有一说一，男主真滴帅
给大家排雷了，喜欢看追车类爆米花电影的推荐看，属于没啥深度看完就忘的类型。
