This likable if more than a trifle laboured Indian movie reworks King Lear in present-day London. A rich Hindu doctor long resident in Britain (the distinguished actor, director and former Rhodes scholar Girish Karnad) confronts late middle age and tries to put his life in order in five packed days between the death of his wife and her funeral. He has three daughters (one married to a British banker, the second a lesbian television journalist, the youngest an actress currently playing Cordelia in a student production and in love with a Muslim). His best friend and counsellor (Om Puri) is a sort of fool, and after a hectic night walking round a storm-racked city contemplating his problems, this Lear inevitably ends up on Hampstead Heath. Like Nahum Tate's 1681 version, Ms Datta's Lear has a happy ending.
