 "The Disciple" Review: The nuances of a determined Hindustani musician, executive produced by Alfonso Cuarón 

The Discriple Movie, release date 30 Apr 2021

In the careful follow-up of "The Court", director Chaitanya Tamhane examined a young Hindu singer who tried to overcome self-doubt to achieve his goals.

In 2014, when Chaitanya Tamhane’s extraordinary debut "The Court" premiered in Venice's "Horizon" section, it heralded the arrival of a smart genius willing to take risks with brain-based independent films . Before participating in other top music festivals, the Indian director’s second work "The Disciples" was more ambitious in scope and more personal, although Tamhane’s attitude towards filming abounds, which may keep the audience away from their opinions. The strangeness of North Indian classical music.

For those who can put aside the potentially daunting sense of ignorance, this rich, multi-layered story about young people's dedication to mastering the spirit and technical elements of "Raga" singing is a teacher-student relationship and a performance character And the consumption of artistic calling provides a lot of thinking. Alfonso Cuarón’s involvement as an executive producer should also enhance his image.

Khayal is a traditional Hindu music form whose dedication has taken decades to perfect their art. The performance and improvisation of singing depend on the singer's psychological state and the audience's acceptance. They should recognize the nuances of each performance.

For "The Disciple", this may be a problem, because most movie viewers do not have a background to fully appreciate the quality of distinguishing one reproduction from another. Although, from the perfect ending of the film, attentive audiences may feel that when singers are otherworldly, rather than uninspired, they can perceive universally. The lack of background means that most of us will feel incapable of dealing with An important element of movie DNA makes any judgments.

The story began in 2006, when the 24-year-old Sharad Nerulkar (Aditya Modak) was preparing to participate in the "Young Performers" competition as a khayal singer. His dedication to the master (Dr. Arun Dravid) is complete-perfecting his art is an eternal pursuit, leaving little time for the frustration of his grandmother (Neela Khedkar). Sharad does have a job, working for Kishore (Makarand Mukund), selling rare CDs of Hindu musicians who were unknown in the past, but most of his sober time is spent practicing or absorbing his master’s lessons. I am a former student of the legendary master Maai (Sumitra Bhave, only heard in recordings).

Sharad’s growth almost ensured his path in life: his father (Kiran Yadnyopavit) was also a student of Maai’s, but an uninspired person, his loyalty to his teacher was not enough to make him a worthy person. Talented performer. His son was troubled by his father's failure and worried that if he could not fully immerse himself in the music and the philosophy behind the music, he would never get that kind of artistic enlightenment from being close to perfection.

Sharad’s father secretly used Maai’s  statement to convey the rigor required for this training. She sternly explained in the tape that khayal’s music requires not only skills, but the kind of heart that needs to be mastered for a lifetime. The calm. The burden of her statement made Sharad more uneasy because he tried to overcome that self-doubt and infected his performance.

About halfway through the movie, the story moved to the present. Sharad is getting older and heavier and he seems to have gained more confidence, but he is still an inconsistent singer, and he cannot achieve the grace that Maai boasts. Kishore met Prasad Vanarse in a cafe with the famous music critic Prasad Vanarse, whose extensive familiarity with the great singers of the past made Sarad in awe, until the conceited critic tore Maai to pieces and claim himself Is a self-righteous elite liar. This scene is the emotional highlight of the film, cleverly written, as the man tears off his idol, Sharad’s anger increases day by day: Maai’s statement does contain all the elements of Rajan Joshi’s claims, but it does not It means that the essence of her teaching is flawed.

It is this subtle method that makes the "disciple" such a fascinating experience, subtly constructing Sharad’s character in a low-key tone, creating a complex picture, a person’s inner struggle, realized with that kind of art, we are very Few people will experience it. His uncompromising focus is in stark contrast to a reality show player named  Shaswati Bose (Kristy Banerjee). This is Sharad's idea of ​​betraying the call. He would rather sit on the sidelines than relax his rigid principles.

As he did in "The Court", Tamhane patiently constructed his character with small details, relying on his audience to understand the small changes and soft tone changes that marked the passage of time and Sharad’s Inner journey. It is hard to imagine that this film would be so successful without the quiet focus (not to mention the vocal skills) of the actor Modak, who captures the character's extreme hunger while usually projecting a calmness that is never dull. Although the film is based on Khayal music, its universality is that it conveys the inner struggle of the musician, realizing that he or she may never be good enough, just like the artist, dancer or writer is haunted by the fear of mediocrity .

"The Disciple" is a Mumbai film that seeks inspiration from the multi-layered reality of Mumbai and the commonality of all urban locations. These places provide the company of professional communities while also fostering a strong sense of marginalization and loneliness. The advantage of setting up the lens captures the feeling of divided space well, from small concert halls, the opening of the city at night, and different living areas across the middle-class gentleness to more Spartan dormitories (people feel the intimacy of Ozu Set some kind of gratitude). Not only is the frame structure so meticulous (and Tamhane's editing), but the color palette, which shifted to more monochromatic tones in the second half, contrasts nicely with the gorgeous reality show and the more diffuse light flashback with Sharad’s father.
