Welcome to our podcast. Mangala Talkies!

Today we shall attempt and shine a 'Spotlight' on a film that we loved. This film lacked deeper pockets to run marketing campaign. This film was glossed over at the awards shows. The mysterious algorithm of the streaming giant also does not suggest readily. I am referring to the Marathi film ''The Disciple''

It was released in April 2021. These days you can watch it on Netflix.

The Disciple is story of Sharad. Sharad is a vocalist who has devoted his life to the study of classical Indian music. There comes a point in his life where he starts to question whether he will ever achieve his aspirations of excellence. And how he deals with the question - that's the film.

Written and Directed: Chaitanya Tamhane

This is 'The Disciple'.
