What happens

Pratibad (English: Protest) is a 2001 Indian Bengali-language action drama film directed by Haranath Chakraborty. Produced by Shrikant Mohta under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films, the story, screenplay and dialogues of the film were written by Anjan Choudhury, which itself was based on the political violence that rocked Bengal during the late 90s. It stars Ranjit Mallick, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Arpita Pal in lead roles; while Dipankar De, Laboni Sarkar, Debesh Roy Chowdhury, Arun Mukherjee, Nirmal Kumar, Anamika Saha, Sreela Majumdar and Rajesh Sharma play another pivotal roles. Pratibad was released on 13 April 2001 worldwide and became blockbuster at the box office and ran for 210 days in theatres; also being the highest-grossing Bengali film of 2001. It was declared to be tacs-free by the Government of West Bengal and it eventually gained a cult status in the history of Bengali cinema. After the massive success of Sasurbari Zindabad in Assam, the film was released in Assamese as Ranabhumi and achieved commercial success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
