It's not a Ray film, it's by James Ivory and is the story of the Kendals, one of whom became quite famous in England while her sister married into Bollywood royalty, the Kapoors. I haven't seen the movie yet myself though I do want to. If it were from the Bangla master Ray, it would likely have been more like shakepseare with everybody dead after 3 hours of existential agony.
