Hi, everyone! The topic for my blog this time around is about the film that we’ve watched recently, Shakespeare Wallah. I do not know what to expect when I first heard we are going to watch this film. Even the title is alien to me. What is wallah? I’ve done some research and wallah is actually a person connected with a particular job, for example, office wallahs. This term is usually used in India. This story is about a family troupe of English actors traveling in India. Tony Buckingham and his wife Carla are the actor-managers of the troupe. They travel around the towns and villages giving performances of Shakespearean plays. Lizzie Buckingham, the couple's daughter, falls in love with Sanju, a wealthy young Indian playboy who is also involved in a romance with the glamorous Bombay film star Manjula. Through their travels we see the changing face of India as the old is replaced by the new, Maharajas become hotel owners, sports become more important than culture and the theater is replaced by Bollywood movies.
