The Disciple
Direction: Chaitanya Tamhane
BY VINAYAK CHAKRAVORTY
Chaitanya Tamhane's new film intricately weaves diverse threads. It talks of the state of Hindustani Classical music and its 'Guru-Shishya parampara'. There is adequate reference to the blatant commercialising of music, as well as how myths are created around icons in the world of art. Importantly, in a sublime final scene, the film leaves a lingering question. What really is the mark of purity in art -- does it lie in rigorous learning, or is it about simplistic rendition that communicates to all with sincerity?
