Filmmaker Ranjith has been banking on adaptations for quite a while, and it’s not always that he hits the bull’s eye. But with Leela, he has hit the nail on the head. The film is not a definite representation of Unni R’s short story and the plot is tweaked to suit a movie experience. The candour of the film might not go down well with all, especially family audience and the ‘moral policing’ lot, as the story is interspersed with rough-hewn talks on sex.
Overall, ‘Leela’ is one of those inconclusive movies that provoke disturbing questions about the vulnerabilities of man’s natural instincts and is also an attempt to mock the average Malayali’s hypocritical moral values and ethics.
