Leila

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

Hindi Web series to see the nearby dystopian future in which we are exposed to the reality Hindu and Muslim cultures, in this they have executed it very much precisely.

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.

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.

Dystopia is new to Indian audience. And dystopian fiction was written for much less in the west. Art needs to keep check on politics when all else is failing. Visuals could have been better. But writing and acting are top notch. Must watch if you happen to possess a mind of your own.
