This is my first review...Great cinema needs more voices supporting them through their reviews on IMDB. I watched "Court" which was released in 2014 and had been eagerly awaiting Chaitanya Tamhane to belt out another one in the same genre. A people story, without glamour. Where the characters don't shout out their situation but where you, as a viewer have to piece the puzzle yourself. There are no straight answers, its a buffet where your characters have a mix of traits and you pick and choose how you want to perceive them. The director only does his bit, keeps adding to the palette of each character. There is a sense of foreboding which keeps looming beyond each frame. Lot of cliches aptly dealt with..the master disciple relationship, jealousy and longing for recognition...passion and mediocrity and finally dedication vs submission to the "difficult to accept reality"...
