Leila

After a small blip in their productions (Ghoul), Netflix India comes back stronger with a second brilliant offering of the year in Leila. I guess in a super charged nationalistic environment which India finds itself other, this series provides some cruel truths which was too hard to handle for the nationalists who seem bent on bringing this series down.

The show is based on a novel about a dystopian future where a woman is on the search for her daughter in an authoritarian regime. I will not give of anything of the plot but the story is engaging, the performances are captivating from everyone and the cinematography blends within this chilling new environment created by the show runners. And most importantly, it is absolutely binge worthy. Check out this great show and you will not be disappointed.

This show actually depicts kind of future this country is gonna have if we continue on our current path. And this show has received low ratings just because the majority can't handle the bitter truth that has been thrown into their face. Because people in India can relate to this kind of future maybe 50 years from now. The storyline is pretty good, actors have done justice to their characters. Huma Qureshi has always been a good actor. I'd recommend everyone to watch it. The low ratings are just from the haters.

I don't know why these right wingers are so afraid from these fiction pieces (same thing happened with Mulk last year) that they run a propaganda against films/shows which show the immediate/possible reality of the world. But these people think these are Anti-Hindus, Guys atleast watch it so many people earn their livings, think practically. And, I have always same question, that how brittle are their sentiments that potentially get hurt by fictional stories. Now, about the show - Yes it's not perfect as it has pacing issues but it hits all the right notes, from story to screenplay to the acting performances. Watch it before judging.

Sure, it's inspired by The Handmaid's Tale, but it's also a timely mirror to frightening political scenarios around the world, in which women's reproductive choices are being dictated by patriarchs. Ignore the fanatic criticism in some of the reviews below, which only see this as a "Hindu-bashing" series. It's secondary to the story of many societies that are developing a sort of moral absolutism as a growing backlash to modernity, economic empowerment, and freedom of thought and lifestyle. It's a way for those in our societies who are frightened of what they don't know to retain or assert power over others they see as a threat to their sense of self. Timely, important and culturally relevant to everyone, not just Indians.

Great concept to understand the wastage of natural resources can impact on future generation.....
