Disciple portrays the journey of an artist through the decay of outreach of indian classical music. The themes like commercialization and industrialization of music through the eyes of the protagonist has been vividly brought to screen. It has been evident that Tamhane is not an actor's director ,you could see that in his films, camera focuses a scene with actors in it but not on the actor who is in the scene but still you could relate to the main protagonist. The editing,cinematography has been smooth rather than raw approach he has taken in "Court".

A slow, quiet film about a man's quest for perfection in the world of Indian classical music.

Indian music apparently has a large spiritual component to it, and this man feels that it's not enough to just be musically good. He has to also be spiritually and morally pure in order to be worthy. Over the course of the movie, he starts to realize the standards he's set for himself are unrealistic, and in one of the movie's best scenes, he becomes aware that the idols he reveres and tries to emulate don't live up to them either.

Sometimes I admired him for being so devoted to something, and other times I just thought he was putting himself through a lot of mental anguish for no reason, which is what I think about a lot of really religious people.

"The Disciple" is a very solid movie. I wasn't greatly moved by it, but I was mostly engaged with it. I always love stories set in India, because it's a culture I just happen to have a lot of interest in.

Grade: A-

"The Disciple" is a Drama - Music movie in which we watch a young classical vocalist trying to find he way into the music along with the meaning of his existence. He has some doubts about himself and his skills but he has to work on himself in order to overcome them.

I found this movie interesting and new for me since I did not have any information or background of this kind of music. I enjoyed the way it was presented and the traditional style of it. The direction which was made by Chaitanya Tamhane who is also the writer of it, it was very good and he presented very well the origins of this music and its traditional style. The interpretation of Aditya Modak who played as Sharad Nerulkar was very good and he made the difference. Lastly, I have to say that "The Disciple" is a good movie and I recommend you to watch it.
