Where’s it on? Netflix Quietly arriving on Netflix last week, The Disciple was a favourite for many who saw it on the festival run last year. Mumbai-born director Chaitanya Tamhane made a name for himself with his 2014 legal drama Court. His second feature enters the world of Indian classical music. The Disciple centres on a vocalist, Sharad Nerulkar (Aditya Modak), who has followed his father into a music career, devoting himself to practise and the noble tradition of his craft. Only thing is, he starts to get a niggling sense that he’s falling short. His perfectionism may not be perfect enough. And if it’s not, should he continue? Where Whiplash (2014) treated this theme with a frenzied forward motion, The Disciple makes for more contemplative, enigmatic drama. More like Mia Hansen-Løve’s house music epic Eden (2014), it’s not about shooting for your dreams so much as having the self-knowledge to know when to abandon them.
