Dukh ki Talim (Transmission in the Wake of Suffering): Vidya Sahai Mishra and his grandsons

This film is about Vinayak and Krishna, the grandsons of Vidya Sahai Mishra, a senior sarangi player of Banaras (Varanasi). They are learning sarangi and tabla respectively-from their grandfather-as their father Prabhu Sahai Mishra, to whom the film is dedicated, met his end tragically on railroad tracks in 2009.
The film offers ambiguous insights into the prevailing attitudes and methods of music transmission in the hereditary musical community of Banaras.
