Calcutta 71

1972 · 116 min Drama
8.8 / 10 · TMDB

The spirit of a condemned 20-year-old student wanders through time, linking together four stories of people struggling for survival in this gritty meditation on poverty, natural disaster and political strife in India. A middle-class family's home is no match for the monsoons, while another clan's morality is compromised when famine strikes. Young boys smuggle rice, and politicians pity the poor while living in the lap of luxury.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Calcutta 71 is an exceptional film rated 8.8/10. It ranks among the finest in its genre and is an absolute must-watch for any film lover.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

A classic from 1972. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: any evening when you want quality cinema with no compromises.
