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.
挺不错的 故事挺有意思的 男主演技也很自然 真实 就是女主演技有点拉夸 有的时候接不住戏
有一说一，制作很用心，美术、服化和道具上的许多细节都照顾到了，赞~这次改编没让人失望！
冲着达叔来看的，感觉这电影没必要蹭个大话西游的皮，一般网大水平。说是起源其实就是在硬扯。
剧本和表演上问题不大，但非要往这个ip上凑肯定会是这个结果
●8.3分
90分钟都撑不满，借壳讲别的故事，容量根本不够，剧情突兀进度条跳跃，插入曲不知所谓，5毛特效还不如删了
个人感觉还不错的呀
就是说还可以。服化道不行情理之中，演技还行过得去。
额，达叔的最后一部作品，但拍得确实是很差，玷污了达叔的谢幕之作了。。。两颗心一颗给达叔，另一颗给还挺漂亮的女主。。。其他真没什么了
剧情连接不自然，人物关系生硬，笑点生硬尴尬，只能勉强看下去
差不多是所有大话西游续集和衍生里最好的一部了。鼓励加一星。
356公交车。一星给达叔，一星给新紫霞。坏人死于话多
5.0。考虑到网大的规格和国内影视界的处境，相对客观地讲，这部电影并没有很差，尤其是是刘镇伟的自毁前作兜底。但它也辜负了《大话西游》这个名号。它的贡献基本停留在“我下面给她吃”这种荤段子层面。更致命的是，它把《大话西游》原本的个人难逃宿命的悲凉，置换成了《哪吒重生》式的热血。热血固然不是坏词，却也暴露了这些续作的又一个核心问题：它们把成年人的爱情两难给劣化/退化/幼化成了小孩子过家家式的非此即彼。为了救回紫霞，至尊宝必须带上金箍割舍人欲变成孙悟空，他要就她就不能爱她，他要爱她就不能救她。到了这一部《缘起》，紫霞穿越时空的动机变成了寻找点灯人为自己改命，灯芯燃尽她就要死了。至尊宝跟随紫霞上路的动机则成了想试试证明自己是不是至尊宝。没有了对爱情飞蛾扑火般的决绝，还是《大话西游》吗？
一星打给吴孟达
别再拍这种蹭热度的片子了，真的，又尬又无聊。
PS 达叔走好

78分钟，作为网剧的故事讲很好了，演员也好。鼓励。
女主这颜值给朱茵提鞋都不配。
