Pratisaad - The Response is Indian marathi film directed by Yogesh Dattatraya Gosavi, which was released in May 2010 and won best feature film award and was critically acclaimed allover. It was worldwide First Feature Film on Homeopathy.
Dr. Aditya (Sandeep Kulkarni), a leading Homeopathy practitioner with his own full-fledged hospital, is challenged by a phone call in the midst of a live TV interview series. The caller – Sarjerao (Kishor Kadam) – accuses him of using fraudulent means of treatment and the TV host (Anand Alkunte), on the suggestion of his producer (Yogesh Dattatraya Gosavi), flares up the issue by asking Dr. Aditya to react on the media reports quoting Homeopathy as ‘fake science’; a media furror follows, giving a new twist to this debate. The law soon steps in and a police officer (Siddheshwar Zadbuke) begins investigating the case, on a complaint received from Sarjerao. Ms. Renu (Neelam Shirke), posing as a journalist, also carries out an investigation, much to the satisfaction of the doctor, who at that point is feeling dejected by such allegations, in spite of his sincerity to his profession. His motivation at that stage is also his better half (Nilambari) who keeps on reminding him that ‘Truth always wins’. Finally, Dr. Aditya wins his battle, when Ms. Renu reveals the truth in a climax, during the second part of the live TV show.
The film is a cinematic adaptation of the real-life experiences of Dr. Amarsinha Nikam.
Pratisaad - The Response was released in a premiere at the Citypride Multiplex in Kothrud, Pune, on 28 May 2010. The premiere was attended by luminaries from both the Marathi and the Bollywood film industries.
The original and the background scores were composed by Rohit Nagbhide, based on the song lyrics by Saumitra.
