It then played at a slew of film festivals including Toronto, New York and Zurich. It debuted at the prestigious Venice Film Festival where it bagged the Best Screenplay award and the FIPRESCI award, given by international film critics. The Disciple comes to us after winning accolades around the world – it was the first film from India to be selected in the main competition of a European film festival in almost 20 years. Aditya, a musician who makes his acting debut as Sharad, transforms externally and internally, as we watch. But you do need to submit to Chaitanya’s challenging poetry – the immersive sound design, the studied frames and Aditya Modak’s melancholic performance. You don’t need to know Hindustani classical music to appreciate The Disciple – I don’t. Which requires commitment from the viewer. Like Sharad, Chaitanya is pursuing a certain purity of vision. The story unfolds in a low-key, naturalistic manner. This isn’t a film about big plot twists or overblown emotion. Chaitanya constructs Sharad’s narrative with long takes and wide establishing shots. The Disciple is a film about artistic rigour told with great formal rigour. His uncompromising pursuit of perfection becomes harder to justify or sustain. Meanwhile Sharad continues to offer his hard-earned artistry to a handful of listeners. Every step of her ascent takes her further from her original self – in the last visual of her, she’s on a gaudy set, painted with make-up, singing a forgettable filmy song. He performs in non-descript halls and watches stoically as a young girl on a television talent show rises to fame. The Disciple might be set in the esoteric world of Indian classical music but its concerns are universal – Sharad’s struggle to negotiate between the lofty demands of the tradition and the tough reality of survival in a city like Mumbai is the struggle of artists everywhere. You can almost hear him thinking – is this all there is? Slowly we see a hollowed-out anxiety setting into Sharad’s eyes. Sharad is also wracked by self-doubt and haunted by thoughts of mediocrity and failure – his father, who initiated him into music, couldn’t succeed because his talent was smaller than his passion. For all his brilliance, his guru remains unsung. But his tapasya contrasts sharply with his lukewarm career in a cultural marketplace where people are more interested in easy listening and vocal acrobatics. Sharad continues to serve his guru, caring for him as he grows older, massaging his legs, taking him to the doctor, even repaying his loans. Asceticism in the hustling and bustling city of Mumbai is a difficult practice. Sharad’s own guru, who was Maai’s disciple, tells Sharad that till they were 40, they never thought of anything but practice.īut time frays Sharad’s idealism. Hindustani classical, Maai warns, is an eternal quest and will take many lifetimes to master. And that the music demands an unblemished mind and the minimalist life of an ascetic. In her lectures, she says that she sang for her guru and god. We don’t see Maai but we hear her with the same reverence that Sharad does – the role has been voiced by acclaimed Marathi director Sumitra Bhave who passed away this month – because Maai’s pursuit seems mythical. Late at night, he drives through the near-empty streets of Mumbai, listening to the recorded lectures of Maai – an iconic singer who rejected patrons, audiences, fame. Sharad refuses to get a job and immerses himself in this arduous journey of perfecting his talent. We first meet Sharad in 2006, when he is 24 years old, filled with devotion to the tradition and a determination to achieve a spiritual purity in his art. The Disciple is a meditative character study of a Hindustani classical vocalist named Sharad Nerulkar.
