Leila Review

Can you imagine a scenario where religion takes over reason?

Well, this series is purely indicative of that. It takes you to India in the year 2047, 100 years since it got independence. There is chaos and tension all around as religious hindu fascist powers try to rule the land with the government backing them in the process. They plan to outnumber the minorities in the act, and even destroy their very existence.

Huma Qureishi acts as the lead and fights the evil forces with all her might but is questioned by her own conscience several times during this battle.

Watch out if you are a fan of political and religious rivalries. With the political hoopla created throughout the country, this was a perfect time to reap in the cash for the producers of this series. Pure timing I would say, but in the end, it disappoints on many fronts - religious ideologies have been used as silly excuses, and the makers of the film have vaguely stereotyped the religions as we normally do.

It's worth watching for once, and I am pretty sure it is very hard to get addicted to this one.
