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.
复古西部片，配乐取景都还不错的，就是剧本偏简单，节奏有点慢。
金满堂两次被捅后背第二次捅有点搞笑 武打设计最好的是在坟头
剧情一塌糊涂，节奏把握的很差劲，唯一的亮点是鬼刀林和长刀客两人在坟头拼刀的部分，在这里武指有大师风范了，懂得藏巧于拙。其他地方就不行了，两人最后那一段拼刀也很一般，完全就是比狠了。
东邪西毒+绣春刀
剧情是真的烂到出奇，打戏和质感竟然有一点点点港片的味道。
漫天的黄沙，衣衫褴褛的侠客，是我喜欢的。就可惜拍的一般般
看了很多电影的风格在里面，如双旗镇刀客、东邪西毒等，有西部电影的风格！故事剧情一般，动作剪辑有模有样，算是一部整体还不错的个人风格电影。
感谢网飞，完美无瑕的戏剧配乐，星光熠熠的华丽卡司，台词、剪辑、调度拳拳到肉的酣畅体验
切记不要把背后留给不信任人。“你妈的，又捅这里”哈哈哈哈，笑喷了。 动作不错，走的偏实战路线，像我最近玩过的游戏骇历四斩
摄影、布景还行，后半段故事，是编剧突然病了吗？陆萍这线合人情吗？陆老婆怎么圣母爆婊了？
已经很久没有看到这样剧情打戏俱佳的武侠片了，每一帧精彩的画面随着剧情吸引你一直看下去，很久没有坚持在电脑前坐着看完一部完整的电影，这部 我是看完还想再看一遍的电影。
Ps:借鉴了《绣春刀》加钱居士、《水浒传》陆谦陆虞侯出卖林冲。
武打戏值得反复观赏，是可以搬上大荧幕的水准了，故事情节和演员功力有待完善，希望以后能在影院看到导演的更多作品。
坟地那场色调极度舒适。男主气质到位，千人斩够骚，不想给克制的分数，想给一个开心的分数。
即便是徐导也只是卖好不卖座
两星是给到坟头对刀，后面一塌糊涂人物性格刻画鲜明，但十年了一点变化没有？中期后剧情单调，枯燥，不过好歹比一些其他鬼怪好
被封面吸进来的，网大算是比较努力了，但也就仅此而已。镜头不错，但剧情不够硬核，台词前言不搭后语，武打动作摆拍的太明显了，对方刀还没过来这边已经架好等着了。个人最有洁癖的是语言，两个南方人标准北方口音，实在没法入戏。抱歉。
3、男主长得像张震+宋洋结合体
连六分都没有？不知道怎么想的！
剧情一般，西部武侠风，打戏不错，招式认真，没有花架，拼刀不拖沓，
