The word “walla’ sounds like great to me even though I do not know the real meaning. But when I first watched the movie, I saw the name Shashi Kapoor and immediately I thought “what on earth is Shashi Kapoor doing in Shakespeare movie?” Only after that I discovered that the setting of this movie is in India so probably they want to get audiences’ attention by having an Indian actor as the lead actor in the movie.
From the movie, I understand that even though they are professional actors, Buckingham’s family live a hard life as they need to struggle for their craft as the English theatre is being replaced by the emergence of Indian film. After all, they are in India and they have to work very hard to win the Indian’s hearts. To me, it is like a meeting of two different cultures, English and India that have their own strength and weaknesses but at the end surely the Indians will support the work of their people. The company travel around the world to perform Shakespeare’s works such as Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet (the rest I can’t remember).
In addition, one thing that I don’t like about the movie is the part where Sanju and Manjula made a grand entrance in the middle of the scene and they received a lot of attention from the audience while at the same time Mr.Buckingham was performing on the stage! It is such an embarrassment for the actors when nobody is paying attention for their performance. Besides, Manjula has not only interrupted the plot of the story, she only shown up for a few minutes. However, at the end of the movie, I respect Lizzie for making a wise decision by leaving Sanju who is a playboy that has an intimate relationship with her but having an affair with Manjula, an actress, at the same time.

I am not agree with you when you said that Lizzie did a wise decision as to left Sanju after she found out about his affair with Anjula. For me that is a coward decision, a stupid one.
For me, if you want something you have to fight for it. there's no such thing like,"i let him go cos for me as long as he's happy, I'll be happy". That's nonsense. you maybe can lie to others but not to yourself. How can you be happy as to loook the one that you loved is laughing with another girl. It's rediculous.
That's why, I agree with Manjula. At least we can see that she's fight for her right. For her, if she can't have that person, others also can't. That spirit is actually positive as we challenge ourself for something and work for that things.
I think you should look back at this issue, be positive and fight for your right. It's not easy to find a man, so, if you found one, take care of him and don't let him slip from your fingers.
