The movie is an emotional drama about generational conflict set in contemporary London. Starring Sharmila Tagore, Girish Karnad, Om Puri and Soha Ali Khan, ‘Life Goes On’ revolves around a typical Bengali-Brit family, where Girish plays a soft-spoken doctor, whose world turns upside down after the sad demise of his wife Manju (Sharmila). Karnad has more to bear with when he learns about his youngest daughter’s affair with a Muslim doctor. Things get more complicated when one of his daughters is lesbian and another one has a broken home. All in all, the flick is about portraying the inner turmoils and struggles of each.
This is Soha’s first film with her mother and she admits that she was scared and nervous while shooting for the film. Soha said that Sharmila is quite moody. At times she can be good and at other times she wont be so.
According to director Datta, “Life Goes On is inspired by the old tale of King Lear and his daughters. It is trying to find meaning for Shakespeare’s King Lear in a contemporary multicultural British context.”
