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.
轻松愉快爱情小品，套了性的外壳讨论的还是爱情。故事很完整，但很可惜结尾还是挺仓促的
还行，有些趣味点，角色设计比较有趣，但是整体情节惊喜不多。比较有意思的地方是，男女主角都长得完全不像可以演爱情喜剧的样子，但是还挺来电。
草根理智的主题虽然很普通，但作为传记电影算的上好片。
不知道为啥就是喜欢喜欢 这两个人简直性张力max 想看他俩多演点19🈲️
你说它是性喜剧吧，可以说根本没有露骨镜头，那就欣赏下对话，却水到如此接地气，令观众满心期待最后撞见阳痿的心离场。段位跟李炳宪导演比还是差太多太多。
年初无意中看到的。当时看了预告感觉是爱情轻喜剧。搜《配对游戏》没搜出来，原来是台版译名。内地的译名怕是避免鼓吹某些风气吧，所以翻译得有点正经但也算是有意义。毕竟“除了恋爱，我们其它事都做过了”。
孙锡久太有魅力啦！看台词好的人在一起对戏真是一种享受。
这种有点weak的角色不适合孙锡久，他果然还是演民工和特警更迷人！我要是编剧，我就会给他量身定做一些打架打到一半滴着汗水开始舌吻的戏码哈哈哈哈（好了sense8已经实现了
扎克的那封信真的太让人感动了，看来这种励志电影没办法拍更多专业的橄榄球知识啊，还想着了解了解呢，不过知道了场上发生了是什么也不错。kurt就是这样乐天派嘛，知道自己要做什么不就是最棒的事情嘛
竟然觉得他们俩挺有CP感的！好久没看这种两个人看起来都还挺适合谈恋爱的电影了啊！俗气的剧情，可是演员不俗气啊！
韩国人，恋爱缺席？谁信啊！剧情很套路，先性后爱理念上当然可以，但实践起来必然没这么顺利，第一次约就碰到真爱这个概率为零吧。女主角这样的怎么可能没有竞争力！
剧情一般。但孙锡久真的好奶啊，太喜欢了😄😄😄全钟瑞不愧是电影咖，力度到位👍👍
以前不觉得女主演技那么好，今天看到她游乐场的那场戏真的惊艳！连气得手抖的样子都演的好逼真。很有共鸣感的电影，也机缘巧合用过Tinder，并且第一次就找到爱情。甚至连恶心的初恋都差不多，甚至也非常想去偷婚礼礼金本
我不相信，全钟瑞我尚且觉得真的就是电影里的样子，但是孙锡久这种尤物怎么可能沦落至此！
打性爱十九禁擦边球，爱情探讨又比较浅显，属于那种两头都不占的本子
当下新概念+套路爱情故事的典型做法，聚焦交友软件盛行之际的恋爱观，一个为了写专栏而SEX的男人，一个受过伤而享受SEX的女人，由性到爱的浪漫史。亮点是概念及几场高光的对话戏，缺点在于感情的建置太匆匆，不可信。
7分。喜欢这种小品文的感觉，后面就有点烂尾了
3星男主，太帅了。剧情emmmm，男的因为工作去约炮还把过程写进杂志，女的想在约炮软件上找既不用多花钱、又不跟对方恋爱、又没x病的爱情机器，最后俩人日久生情？俩人分开一年重逢，男的道歉➕告白之前的事情就翻篇了，阿？？？
想住在楼下就是有雨棚小圆桌的便利店的地方。
韩国版《爱情神话》。小品式的爱情一定要靠演技支撑，孙锡久魅力王者。
