Not a great classically taught listener here but been a casual listener for 25 years. Yes classical singing or even listening MAY seem to be a dying form since it takes many years to even learn to appreciate it. I am amazed by how long it took me to actually realize that the alaap can sometimes be the most valued part of a performance compared to the antara or gat. However IT IS NOT dying.
Even though I appreciate the classical music theme of this effort, it took me about 5-6 hours over a week to watch this till the end since I couldn't handle more than 20 mins at a time! Not sure why realistic Indian movies have to swing to "realistically" hopeless from the fantastically hopeless of commercial cinema. Nothing specific to be blamed, but in fact literally the premise of the movie itself.
Talk about flogging a dead horse! Referring to what the movie talks about "bhav" i.e. Emotion in singing, this movies' bhav seems determined to kill any interest in classical music let alone classical singing in Maharashtra (or worldwide for that matter). Reminds me of the "Art" movie trend, sadly many of which spoiled any interest in Art for many young Indians. Please keep kids AWAY!!!
