What struck me most was the authenticity of each scene. The authentic love to write and direct such a movie on Indian Classical Music. One must be bold as well as devoted to tackle such a theme in the times of the spread of light music so influenced by Western music and culture.
Chaitanya has made no compromises. What more can you say of a director!
Like a well rendered Khayal the story moves placidly from one concert to the next , from Guru-Shishya Parampara to the commercialisation of music, from devotion and Tapascharya to disillusionment and break down. The denouement comes on the terrace with a commercial buyer, a fake lover of music and it's piety.
A must watch for all lovers of Indian Classical Music and Indian-ness.
