Self-doubt, sacrifice and struggle converge into an existential crisis for a devoted classical vocalist as the mastery he strives for remains elusive.
"First Indian film since 'Monsoon Wedding' (2001) to compete at the Venice Festival, the feature 'The Disciple' follows the life journey of Sharad Nerulkar, who has dedicated his life to becoming an Indian classical music vocalist, diligently following the traditions and discipline of ancient masters, his guru and his father. But over the years, Sharad begins to wonder if it is really possible to achieve the excellence he strives for. An atypical film about achievements and fears, which gain more layers when placed in contrast with Indian culture. Ideal for music fans and, above all, those who like films with good social commentary."
