Biography
Chaitanya Tamhane is an Indian filmmaker born 1 March 1987. His directorial debut, the 2014 Marathi courtroom drama Court, examines the Indian legal system through the trial of an aging folk singer in a lower court in Mumbai—the film was announced as India's official submission for the 88th Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category. Court earned Tamhane a nomination for best screenwriter at the 9th Asian Film Awards and the best director award at the 16th Mumbai Film Festival.
Before Court, Tamhane wrote and directed the short film Six Strands, which he also produced. His second feature, The Disciple (2020), premiered at the 77th Venice International Film Festival, where it won the FIPRESCI award (presented by the International Federation of Film Critics) and the Best Screenplay award. The film was executive-produced by Alfonso Cuarón, who mentored Tamhane through the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative during the filming of Roma. In 2018, Tamhane served as creative producer for the Kannada film Balekempa.
As a screenwriter and filmmaker, Tamhane constructs narratives that interrogate institutional power and human dignity. A Pisces born under Life Path 11, he gravitates toward introspective, morally complex characters and systems that test individual conscience. His work reflects a commitment to rigorous cinematic language and thematic depth within the Indian and international film landscape.
