Life Goes On Movie Review It’s one thing to get inspired by a great play like King Lear or a book like Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet but it’s something else when your characters end up mouthing someone else’s words as if they were their own! Watching Sangeeta Datta’s Life Goes On you can’t help but get a feeling that the writer-director put everything she liked right from Shakespeare to Ritwik Ghatak to Satyajit Ray in a box and shook it till something resembling a film came emerged!
Life Goes On One fine day Manju (Sharmila Tagore), a doting wife, a loving mother of three and a loyal friend passes away. Her death makes Sanjay (Girish Karnad) realize that he barely knows his three daughters--Lolita (Mukulika Banerjee), Tuli (Neerja Naik), and Dia (Soha Ali Khan). Lolita’s British husband doesn’t have time for his family; Tuli worries about her job way too much and Dia doesn’t know how to tell her father that she is pregnant with her Muslim boyfriend’s baby. The three try to grapple with life while preparing for their mother’s funeral with a little help Alok (Om Puri), a close friend of the family. The days leading up to Manju’s funeral tests the bonds these five people share and in the end everyone comes to terms with their demons and life, goes on. Sangeeta Datta’s Life Goes On must have been a good idea on paper--three sisters coming closer after their mother’s death while their father realizes that he barely knew the wonder his dead wife was and how let goes of the control he wields over his youngest daughter in the name of love. This film laced with some lilting Rabindranath Tagore songs and highly-stylized shots could have one of those slice-of-life tales. But what one gets is a bunch of highly archaic
lines spoken by actors who are woefully uncomfortable with the language they converse in…
