by Filmfare
Chaitanya Tamhane’s Marathi Film The Court had won accolades worldwide. With his next film The Disciple, the director has made everyone proud once more.
The Disciple was premiered last week at the prestigious Venice Film Festival. Today we hear that the film has won the Best Screenplay award. The Marathi film is about personal and professional experiences of a Hindustani classical singer. The Disciple is produced by Vivek Gomber’s company Zoo Entertainment and Alfonso Cuaron (director of Gravity and Roma) is the executive producer. The Disciple has also won the FIPRESCI award, conferred by international film critics and journalists.
It’s surely a proud moment for the Indian film industry to be recognised and even win awards at such prestigious platforms. Congratulations to the entire team of The Disciple.
