Director
Chaitanya
Tamhane
continues
to
impress
audiences
with
his
films,
including
his
latest
project
The
Disciple,
now
streaming
on
Netflix.
The
film
was
recently
recognised
with
the
Best
Screenplay
award
and
the
FIPRESCI
International
Critics
Prize.
The
movie
follows
24-year-old
musician
Sharad
Nerulkar,
who
takes
a
dip
into
the
nuances,
tradition,
and
culture
of
Indian
classical
music
while
portraying
his
artistic
struggle.
In
a
recent
conversation
with
IMDb,
Chaitanya
Tamhane
and
Producer
Vivek
Gomber
recall
the
toughest
day
on
the
shoot,
and
what
success
of
a
film
like
this
means
to
them.
"The
scene
with
the
critic
at
the
rooftop
bar
because
that's
a
very
very
crucial
scene
in
the
film.
You
know
it
almost
comes
in
the
third
act
of
the
film.
Of
course,
it
was
logistically
difficulty,
but
it
was
also
difficult
in
the
sense
that...you
know
what
Sharad
goes
through
in
that
scene,
the
emotion
that
he
experiences
and
that
final
outburst
of
emotions
he
has...
and
this
critic
is
this
new
character
who
has
come
in
the
end
and
is
kind
of
in
a
way
destroying
Sharad's
world," recollected
Tamhane
from
his
shooting
days.

In
Conversation
With
Chaitanya
Tamhane,
Director
Of
The
Disciple
And
Court
When
asked
Gomber
about
a
scene
that
had
him
completely
immersed,
having
goosebumps
he
said,
"Something
that
resonates
and
is
haunting
forever
is
Mai's
voice...and
it
is
really
unfortunate
that
Sumitra
(Bhave)
Ji
passed
away
and
I
didn't
get
to
interact
with
her.
If
you
don't
have
Mai,
you
don't
have
that
voice."
