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.
和第一部差好远。后面的中文尴尬的我可以扣除一个三室一厅来。
子役不错诶，记住这个演员了。床戏看得有点难受…
李相日还是有两把刷子（演员不评价了，选角一开始就不看好
想释放情绪或者想一个人冷静的时候，很适合看。但是，如果你觉得你还没准备好一个人静下心来，就别看。我并不觉得，哪个镜头是多余的。每个镜头的出现都有理由，它们是两个主角每天摆脱不了的梦魇，它们就是因为挥之不去，才会过了十年了还什么都没变——那么地善良、那么地无所谓、那么的痛苦。或者，在电影院看，代入感会更强。（建议别喝可乐，故事长，会上厕所…）
很爱，很爱这部的调调。但是最后十分钟……是……在……干什么……
打斗依然可以，但是超能力过于扯淡，第一步的隔空取物已经够牛了
村长再次演社会边缘人，为艺术献身。
我还挺喜欢这种破碎感，心疼阿文，也太惨了点。流星在试图转型了，但略用力过猛。
全员演技在线，整体剧情流畅。
摄像挺好，很多空镜非常美丽。霓虹人看电影也太能憋尿了，整体过于拖拉，矫情破天际，女主逼逼叨叨着喜欢男主，却死活不肯帮他洗清怨罪。在广濑铃的衬托下，松坂桃李的演技都明显变好了起来，流星倒是比想象中更好些。
很爱，很爱这部的调调。但是最后十分钟……是……在……干什么……
瑕不掩瑜！关于“善意”，关于无法互相理解的人性，关于男性性和女性性。摄影和配乐很不错，李相日调教三个完全不符合原作的演员真的辛苦了。
最后村长脱了没个近景差评！看了半天看不清道具，片子太长磨磨唧唧，另外的看点就是流星的家暴渣男
冗长，太过于讲究配乐和画面情感，2个半小时的音乐剧。。。
韩国版超能力者 那几个韩国人就别装中国人说话了吧听的好难受啊明明说的是中国话我这个中国人都听不懂啊啊啊啊啊 打架也要戴口罩这是对中国人有什么误解吗。。来看金多美的结果就最后出来客串一下解说吗？？？打斗比第一部还开挂装比好几倍
文戏仍然不知道说了些啥，不过动作戏比第一部又有了进化，打斗场面那种凌厉霸道的气势很好，又有血浆辅助，十分带感。只是这么多超人一窝蜂大乱斗，环境场景几乎没啥变化，格局还是差点意思。
天…这电影到底想输出什么价值观？？单看电影，你跟我说他不是ロリコン野郎我是不信的（。还有为啥要让流星来演这种讨人厌的角色？？？（虽然演得很好以及颜很可（？
额，连看了怒和流浪之月，居然是一个导演，感觉女主都一样
导演无意义镜头实在太多了，这点真的败好感。
上一部就好看在后半段全程高能，复仇爽片；这一部呢，一半的时候女主还在逛超市！女主发飙的时间也不到5分钟，光看其他人耍帅去了（加起来也不超过20分钟）。世界观扩大后，势力众多，人物也多得这一部都装不下，导演却把镜头聚焦在普通人与普通黑帮的家长里短上，使这一部彻底沦为下一部的预告片。
