Abstract	With the shift in the interpretation of many concrete as well as abstract ideas in literary criticism, literary theory, and literature in general, the concept of text and textuality has also been reconceived or recreated with each shift in the paradigm. Today anything that can provide an opportunity to decode or decrypt, irrespective of its form and structure, can be studied as a text. Thereby, inaugurating a possibility to resignify a piece of associated signs and signifiers in a totally new light. The present paper is aimed to study how Ekphrasis as an intermediary device shapes the film, Judgemental Hai Kya (taken as a filmic or cinematic text here). The paper will further study how the intermediary devices applied to a film(cinematic text) plays with and resignifies the conceived meaning as well as the spectator/ reader experience of the text.
