Calcutta 71 (1971) is a cinematic journey through four distinct narratives that delve into the theme of poverty and its repercussions, as witnessed by a youthful protagonist who remains forever twenty. The three primary stories are separated by a decade, culminating in the final segment set in the tumultuous Calcutta of 1971. This segment features a drunken tirade by a corrupt businessman-politician, reflecting the chaotic atmosphere of early 1970s Calcutta. The young man's journey concludes tragically as he is killed after inspiring the audience and the people to rise against the systemic injustices that perpetuate human degradation.
