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.

1. 关键时刻为什么组织不出手给个创业基金，这样即能创业成功又能体现我们的优越性？2.演员表演还是挺好的。
3.5 我们都知道后半段几无可能发生在普通人身上
个人觉得是今年最好看的国产电影，作为一部历史战争片，从一个普通家庭的一对兄弟开始，见民族见战争见国家，整体的基调定对了以后，剧情也比较流畅，新老演员演的都不错，几个主要人物都形象鲜明，真金白银的钱砸进去了，大场面随处可见，飞机坦克爆炸枪战肉搏应有尽有，三个小时的电影几乎没有冷场的戏份。
很难想象轰炸机满天飞的情况下要如何胜利，如何活着回家
后半段让人在电影院狂哭不止…整个电影的叙事都非常让人感到舒适，一些小小的笑点也恰到好处。描述小人物的故事，重在细节，描绘出了一个年轻人的创业沉浮，其实也是在描绘每个人的浮浮沉沉。易烊千玺的演技我已经愿称一句“老戏骨”了，各种隐忍、挫败、倔强表现的淋漓尽致，爆发力足够好，演的也足够正确。
一个来自深圳华强北的创业奇迹，一个20岁年轻人所承受的生命之重，繁华城市背后底层打工人的奋斗画卷。感人至深的兄妹之情，同甘共苦的工友之情，责任与担当，无奈与挣扎，不屈与坚毅，这一幕幕场景存在得那么真实，以至于如此容易让我们感同身受。每一个生命的背后都有着不同的悲喜，在他们身上，你会发现所谓奇迹，也许只是凭借本能坚韧而活，却在咬牙坚持中，不一步步穿越了绝境。新的一年，希望多几次这样的感动，多一些属于我们自己的“奇迹”。
为什么会在2022年春节档看到打工人逆袭成资本家的励志鸡汤片。。。
拍得稀碎，完全靠对志愿军的民族情感撑住各个环节，即使拍得这么烂，也很难不为其中的英雄主义而感动😭
打得一拳开，免得百拳来。
胡军演的雷公开着装有信号弹的车往远处极速开走时，周围飞机落下炸弹四起，他身上着火了，嘴被炸流血了，突然他哼起了他的家乡歌曲：人人都说哎… 沂蒙山好…. 突然一个炸弹连人带车炸飞，弥留之际，希望不要把他一个人留下。
今天终于尘埃落定！这阵容也太强大了！！无限期待！！！
如果你相信现实有童话，你就会喜欢这个电影。我相信～
四字的表情太到位了
主席说的没错，打得一拳开，免得百拳来，这场仗我们不想打，但又不得不打，那个时候我们的志愿军用血肉和意志保卫了祖国，才有了我们今天的生活，中国走到今天真的太难了，致敬先烈。
低于预期，还算合格的主旋律献礼商业片。 7
票价太贵了，没看，就想打分。这类电影就该狠狠五星。
易烊千玺以后将会成为中国新生代男演员中最优秀的 没有之一
1. 关键时刻为什么组织不出手给个创业基金，这样即能创业成功又能体现我们的优越性？2.演员表演还是挺好的。
作为一个在深圳的创业者，既感同身受又充满信心！再次夸夸四字弟弟的演技，是可以包揽各种奖项的程度。
