Pratikar (English: Prevention) is a 1987 Indian Bengali language vigilante action film written and directed by Prabhat Roy.[1][2] Produced by Chandima Films in their 2nd production.[3], the film stars Victor Banerjee, Chiranjeet Chakraborty and Debashree Roy in lead roles, while Utpal Dutta, Madhabi Chakraborty, Satabdi Roy, Shakuntala Barua, Sukhen Das, Biplab Chatterjee, Chhaya Devi and Nimu Bhowmik play supporting roles. The screenplay and dialogues were also written by Prabhat Roy himself. The soundtrack album and background score was composed by Bappi Lahiri[4], with the lyrics penned by Gauriprasanna Mazumder. It plots the story of an intelligent student Shankar, who becomes vigilante after the violent murder of his mother and brutal rape of his sister, by the local goons who kidnaps women and sell them outsides. When he starts avenging, DSP Rajib Chowdhury who is childhood friend of Shankar, comes on the board to investigate the murder mysteries done by Shankar.
Pratikar marks the 2nd collaboration between Prabhat Roy and Victor Banerjee and the 1st collaboration between Roy and Chiranjeet Chakraborty. It was an all time blockbuster at the box office and ran more than 42 weeks in theatres. It received a number of positive reviews from critics, with appreciation for it's screenplay and direction, performances by the whole casting, stylized action sequences and the massy portrayal of the protagonist in the film. This film created a new image of Victor Banerjee, that of an action hero which became favourable among the masses. In the pre-interval scene, the murder and rape scene was portrayed violently in a Bengali film, for the first time, so the film got A certificate from the Censor Board[5]
In the year 1988, Pratikar was remade in Telugu and Tamil as Raktha Tilakam starring Venkatesh and Thaimel Aanai starring Arjun Sarja respectively and later it was remade in 1991 under the same title featuring Anil Kapoor as the protagonist.

Production
editIn 1977 during the shooting of Ananda Ashram, Prabhat Roy narrated the script of Protidan and Pratikar to Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. Kumar, who helped Roy to learn how screenplay and dialogues are written at the time of Amanush's pre-production in 1975, highly appreciated him for the brilliant story idea. Then Kumar suggested him to cast Mithun Chakaraborty to play the protagonist, as the character needed a proper body physique for the action sequences. After making his debut in 1986 through Protidan, Roy narrated the script of Pratikar to Chakraborty, but he had to turn down the film as he was busy in Mumbai and it was difficult for him to shoot a film seperately in Kolkata. Then Roy took a risk by casting Victor Banerjee in the role, with whom he had worked in his previous film Protidan. Banerjee, who was playing villainous roles in mainstream Bengali films and art house dramas at that point of time, took a proper training for the characteristics and action sequences. After the release of the film, both mass and class audiences praised Banerjee's performance in this field and audience as well as fans started calling him as 'Vigilante Star' and considered him to be the next action hero, after Uttam Kumar, Ranjit Mallick and Mithun Chakraborty.[6]
