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.
硬伤很多 随便看看还可以…印象最深就是那小朋友越叫越走……最后命也没了
场外援助也好像是摆设一样，失去信号的无人机不知道是谁给的劲儿，突然就来信号了。
不搞笑，不灾难，不亲情。韩国电影也在走下坡路了。
本來應該毛骨悚然的災難片，在喜劇的包裝下，變作一家大小都適合看的合家歡電影。車勝元、金成鈞、李光洙，好比是王炸+4個2，喜劇效果直接拉滿。執著於某些劇情怎麼那麼無厘頭的觀眾，真的大可不必。喜劇就是要天馬行空、出其不意才好笑。每個笑匠都貢獻出正常實力的演技，已令到電影質量有了最基本保障，笑著討論生死等重大命題，也令到電影的後勁更足，入戲院看不虧。最後祝大家早日上車，一定要記得拿彈珠測試下地板喔！
灾难喜剧，挺好玩，拍的不错，演员也都在线。大黄桶真的是太逗了。
即使韩国灾难片千篇一律，但还是会继续看下去
主角经常演坏人看到他的样子就想到变态的感觉，前期家长里短的铺垫太多了要是不通过电影名字或者简介还真让人以为是个生活片的错觉。这部剧我觉着主要还是喜剧片，因为很多时候都是在搞笑，灾难片拍出了喜感，只有少部分的紧张恐慌，少部分的煽情，最后所有人被困在漏水的黄色桶的确有点吓人，那个盖盖子的人差点就淹死，居然脚被绳子缠住了给拖上来了，反正全员幸存还是得靠点运气吧，感觉救援队效率很差完全不知道在干嘛，桶子上来的时候他们正坐在那聊天呢吧，估计都已经放弃营救了吧
毒舌电影竟然推荐了网大，看完之后确实可以，全程没有感觉拖沓，历史新解，最后片尾曲歌词多给一星，“该是时候听到我的想法”
和摩天楼也差太多了吧，，，既不严谨也不搞笑，，，是在嘲讽房价么，那就可以理解了，
为老公光🐷多加一星！而且车婶演技真的绝了！
讲的是首尔市中心的一处楼房居然建在一个地洞上方突然整个楼掉下去了之后楼里的人自救的故事 电影中偶尔穿插了两个年轻白领对买不起房子的抱怨而电影的最终一对买不起房的单身男女 搞了个房车 幸福的生活在一起影片暗示了房贷给当代韩国年轻人带来了巨大的债务压力建议享受当下 住在房车里也可以轻松和幸福的生活
不是很科幻或恐怖的感觉 总体感觉偏喜剧 还可以
真的很震撼，天不会永远是黑的，会有明的一天，这漫天的烟火是人民的怒火啊
论自救的重要性及n种可能性，只出现在影视作品里的那种。光洙离开rm，那影视作品里也请离开pabo角色。以前看这类题材的亲情部分，会热泪盈眶，现在是恸哭。以前是寻找及渴望，现在是追忆和哀悼。
自救片 韩国写实人性确实是我这几年所爱 不得不否认他们的渲染气氛恰到好处 没有更过 对于个人来说刚刚好 看来具备自救意识很重要 宣教他人也很重要
灾难配喜剧说起来既常见也不常见，因为看过了<欢乐喜剧人>一众强行化喜为悲的说教小品，这部拍得轻松自在的灾难就算难得。
要不是这群人是有主角光环，估计下场和老奶奶也一样。
“若藏匿鸦片，本大人一定要查。这些个洋人，若胆敢私贩鸦片，本大人也一定要抓”。无愧于“民族英雄”之称！
蛤蟆功！一筐猪笑起来逗死了 哈哈哈哈哈哈 还要脸小 灾难片也要开开心心！！
4.8/10，喜剧元素也掩盖不了这是一部很烂的灾难片。
