'Padatik' ('The Guerrilla Fighter') is a 1973 Bengali drama film directed by noted Parallel Cinema director Mrinal Sen.

This film is considered to be the third film of Mrinal Sen's Calcutta trilogy, the others being 'Interview', and 'Calcutta 71'.

Plot



A political activist escapes the prison van and is sheltered in a posh apartment owned by a sensitive young woman. Both are rebels: the activist against political treachery and the other on social level. Both are bitter about badly organized state of things. Being in solitary confinement, the fugitive engages himself in self-criticism and, in the process, questions the leadership. Questions are not allowed, obeying that is mandatory. Displeasure leads to bitterness, bitterness to total rift. The struggle has to continue, both for the political activist, now segregated, and the woman in exile.
