Music Teacher is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed and co-written by Sarthak Dasgupta. [1] [2] [3]
Beni Madhav Singh (Manav Kaul) is a middle aged music teacher who is living and working in a small and quaint hill town named Solan. His family includes his sister Urmi (Niharika Dutt) and his mother (Neena Gupta) who constantly worries about his decision to remain a bachelor and his refusal to work in a regular salaried job. Many evenings, Beni wanders up to the hill side and sings melancholic songs reminiscing about his former pupil Jonai, which his neighbour, Geeta (Divya Dutta), a middle aged married woman living with her father in law, secretly listens to.
Flashbacks reveal that Beni used to provide music lessons to a young girl named Jyotsna "Jonai" Ray (Amrita Bagchi) who is gifted yet not as ambitious and driven as Beni. After winning a local singing competition, Jonai receives offers to work in Mumbai which she is reluctant to accept on account of her budding love for Beni and desire to marry him and remain in Solan. She proposes to Beni but he rejects it, inspite of being in love with her, asking her to move to Mumbai first and focus on her career, an opportunity he always desired for himself; hoping that her move to Mumbai will provide him with contacts that would eventually pave way for his career. A heartbroken Jonai leaves for Mumbai and ultimately becomes an extremely successful, wealthy and renowned singer. Ever since her leaving and subsequent success, Beni lives in regret about not accepting Jonai's proposal and yearns for her, a hint towards the possible reason for his bachelorhood. He's also increasingly despondent about his languishing career despite several attempts at trying to make it big. Throughout, he appears unsettled and desolate owing to overbearing emotions of regret, jealousy, anger, grief and loneliness which he begins to share with Geeta with whom he has secretly begun a sexual relationship ; Geeta is herself afflicted by an emotional turmoil on account of her husband marrying another woman in another town.
The local authorities organise a public music concert of Jonai about which the whole town seems excited. Locals keep asking and reminding Beni about "his pupil" Jonai and the concert, which dismays Beni, who is in the midst of planning his sister's wedding. Visibly emotionally shaken hearing the news of Jonai's upcoming visit to the town, he changes the wedding date to coincide with the concert so as to avoid it altogether although he is desperate to meet her . He expresses his emotional disturbance to Geeta who encourages him to meet Jonai despite harbouring love for Beni, realising that he still, truly loves Jonai. Dejected by this realisation coupled with her father in law's death and husband's refusal to visit the funeral, she leaves town.
Beni leaves the wedding festivities midway and attends the show from backstage. In the green room, initially hesitant and awkward, both tearfully admit to how much they still love each other. Jonai confesses that she only accepted to perform in the concert so that she could meet him. He proposes to her but she only replies that she can't accept it now because it's too late. He leaves for home saddened yet seemingly relieved about finding some form of closure. Returning home, his mother, instinctively aware that he has met Jonai, enquires if he's happy to which he replies that he is.
