Telmah-Thel is an essay written by Shakespeare aficionado Jonathan Gil Harris.

The plot of the movie is loosely based on Shakespearean play Romeo and Juliet. The plot is set up at a fictional town of Almore in Uttar Pradesh. There is a political clash between the families of Zoya and Parma , the Qureshi's and the Chauhans respectively.The movie is about how a couple who hate each other a lot , come to terms and fall in love with each other.

The item Number ‘Jhalla Walla’ is a connecting song when the female protagonist was about to get engaged. It is a song which is written by Kausar Munir. It is a song which aptly uses about four languages and expresses the merriment that were observed for the moment. The scene is setup at the female protagonist’s house where a sensual dancer is dancing addressing her lover and everyone is seemingly enjoying it. It can be compared with the scene in Romeo and Juliet where Gregory and Sampson chat. The item number can not be removed from the scene as it creates that anticipation as to what will happen next and it connects itself to the next scene where the male protagonist comes to take the dancer to his place

    In this point of my analysis, I deal with the scene that one could argue most enriches the main subject of the story, namely hope. In this scene that is created by Darabont, Andy, who is at Norton 's office to receive some used books and sundries for the prison 's library, locks the guard in the bathroom and then starts playing a recording of ‘Canzonettasull 'aria’ from the opera The Marriage of Figaro. As Verstraten argues, filmmakers use music as narrative tool(153) that not only challenges the audience 's emotions but also carries the theme of the movie. In this scene the music is intradiegetic since Andy connects the public speaker system to the record player so that all of the prisoners can hear the music. In her book Music in American Crime Prevention and Punishment, Lily Hirsch explains that this scene “also highlights another utopia musical ascription related to the contested idea that music is a universal language” since all the prisoners are feeling connected, enjoying the music while hope is revived within their

    I don’t believe that this film expresses any political view. I believe that image, speech, sound, music, and writing interact to produce meaning. They are all in sync with one another, but I believe writing dominates because the film is based off of a novel. The facial expressions and speech of the younger actors add to the film, evoking emotion and sympathy from the viewer. The novel emphasizes the spectator more so than in the film.
