Pratisaad Synopsis
Pratisaad (The Response) - Full Movie on Homoeopathy
Dr. Aditya, a renowned practitioner of Homeopathy, is being interviewed live on
television. The interview highlights Dr. Aditya’s unique achievements – 30 years
of practice, the establishment of India’s first purely homeopathic hospital and
care center, operating the center successfully for over 16 years, the treatment
of various acute and chronic diseases and emergency medical conditions without resorting
to operations or even injections. Dr. Aditya is hailed as a pioneer and revolutionary
path breaker in medicine when a phone call interrupts the show.
The caller asks a simple question of Dr. Aditya, "But what about my wife?" The caller
reveals that his wife is undergoing treatment in Dr. Aditya’s hospital. He accuses
the doctor of not doing anything for his wife who is afflicted by a motor–neuron
disease. The caller charges the doctor of falsifying information, making tall claims
about his abilities and Homeopathy and then makes a telling comment, "Homeopathy
is a fake science."
The TV interview ends in a furore. The TV channel, finding the sensational call
had boosted its TRPs sky high, vows to follow up on the story. The channel promises
to get Dr. Aditya back on the next show to answer the allegations levelled against
him. The accuser meanwhile calls in the media. Reporters rush to the hospital and
over the next few days the media frenzy excavates every bit of Dr. Aditya’s life
and Homeopathic medicine. The law takes a note of the media reports and the police
decide to investigate Dr. Aditya and his hospital.
What happens next?
What does she find there? Who is the person who has so sensationally accused Dr.
Aditya? What are the motivations behind that accusation? Is Dr. Aditya a fraud?
Is his hospital a farce? Is Homeopathy, really a fake science? Meanwhile the time
to the next television show is approaching fast. What will be the result of this
investigation? Will it destroy Dr. Aditya? Or will it vindicate him?
Will Dr. Aditya’s hospital and Homeopathy regain their
credibility?
Pratisaad’s story is inspired by true real–life experiences of Dr. Amarsinha D.
Nikam who practices Homeopathy in Pimpri on the fringes of Pune. Dr. Nikam opened
the first purely homeopathic hospital in India in Pimpri. Aditya Homeopathic Hospital
uses classical Homeopathy to treat chronic diseases and critical patients from all
over India. Dr. Nikam has been practicing Homeopathy and helping ‘incurable’ patients
for over 30 years. Pratisaad is Dr. Nikam’s attempt to enlighten and educate the
masses the truth about Homeopathy.
Pratisaad, incidentally, is the first ever film with Homeopathy as a subject.
