Dhritiman Chatterjee talks about his film 'Pratidwandi'

Indian actor Dhritiman Chatterjee talks about 'Pratidwandi film'.
"Pratidwandi was made in 1970. It was a time when we were all students as well or just out of college. So, we were really part of the 60's generation and therefore the film was relevant to us not only as actors but as people the sort of people we were at that time. It was a reflection of the spirit of the 60's particularly the situation in Calcutta in West Bengal in the 60's, but one later realise talking to people of the film had been made that obviously, people found a much greater if you wanted universal context in it for instance young people in other cities like Bombay, Madras..."

agantuk, ganashatru... what a great actor. He nailed it.

[@prasannaramaswamy2603]

Last two weeks I had taken his scenes from this film for students at my acting class!! And one of our students had chosen the interview section to work on...

[@RajarsheeMitra]

Of course, that scene is one of the most iconic scenes in film history.

[@prasannaramaswamy2603]

The best in Indian film industry.

Excellent actor without an inch of doubt

[@subratajana7507]

That interview scene one of my favorite sir

[@shabdokarigarsukomal3185]

Today there is no director like Ray, Sen and Dasgupta who can fit this type of brilliant actor into their films. Bengal is undergoing the scourge of intellectual bankruptcy.

[@arjabde9884]

Ghatak too

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

What made Ray arguably the greatest film maker of his generation - and even beyond - is that he is the only director I know who wrote and produced many of his own films. He was almost a one-man production company. How this man never won an Oscar is something I have never understood. Hollywood, for all its glitz and glamour, has never produced a director like Satyajit Ray. The man was a cinematic genius.

[@sanjibsen7509]

Brilliant actor and brilliant voice.

[@juanestadian8471]

@@georgfriedrichhandel4390 Ray belongs to a generation of filmmakers that we shall never seen again. Ray's goal was to tell a story about the community in which he resided, that is the West Bengal area. Ousmane Sembene had done a similar thing in his native Senegal. Their goal was to tell a story in the same manner as a novel. They had an advantage knowing that the potential to make huge profits was minute, so they could tell their stories without comoromising the integrity of the film. In the West, even in independent cinema, their end game us to get a big producer to pick up their film so they can can get wide distribution.

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

@@juanestadian8471 I believe you're right Juan. We most likely will never see another film director like Satyajit Ray. And one of the things that made him incomparable is that in some of his film like his Kolkata Trilogy, he puts the viewers in the position of the protagonist and asks them, "what would you do in their position?" It's as if he is almost forcing us to identify with the protagonist while the latter experiences a moral dilemma. And that's the genius of Ray. With other film makers, the audience is very passive but Ray provokes.

[@roopalivs6782]

A class apart 👌🏾 💯 ✔️.... the whole team.... the director - Mr Ray, the actor, the dialogues and ofcourse the Bengali film industry.... way ahead of its time. ✌🏾✌🏾👍🏾👍🏾✋🏽

What an impactful voice

[@csanvi]

One of my favorite actors in Bengali cinema. Just love his voice and acting. Pratidwandi, Ganashatru and Agantuk speak volumes about him. I believe we are now going through a draught in terms of having actors like him.

[@raay411]

His voice always resonates like ots vibrating

About Swatilekha Sengupta Manik da commented, his intelligent actress. That is also applicable for Soumitra Chhatterjee ( acted in his 14 films and the good vehicle of his ideas) and Dritiman Chatterjee. Dhritiman alias Protitwondi. Also Mrinal Sen' s Akaler Sandhane is an excellent performance.

Dhritiman Chatterjee Sir had made a documentary on Holy River Ganges which was aired on Doordarshan. Please provide the name/KZbin link of the documentary. Thanks in advance

When was this interview taken? He must be in his mid 60s if not 70s now. But looks pretty young.

What year is this interview from? Anyone..?

[@souvikdas2772]

atleast from 90s as you can kind of match his appearance from Agantuuk

[@sudiptomiddya]

who is the interviewer

[@loganathanarumugam1300]

This film is an adaptation of sunil gangobhadhyaya novel

[@BhaveshNayak9]

Sir, here he is referring to which film which was more pessimistic as he told interviewer, didn't able to catch name

[@nimaldayan8043]

Pratiwandi, I guess

[@Saikat_Musib]

No. He was actually refering to 'Jana Aranya'.

[@anupambanerjee2381]

Which year does this interview belong to?
