Leela is a film based on the South Asian-American experience. By providing a dynamic expression of the struggles and celebrations of the expatriate lifestyle, Leela has the potential to be a crossover film - popular among expatriate South Asians and mainstream English speaking audiences the world over. Leela is a true reflection of how the South Asian-American community is beginning to emerge, blend, and influence the mainstream American culture in its own exquisite ways. Leela is the story of Leela, an aware, liberal woman who struggles with the true meaning of independence. It is also the story of Krishna, born of Indian parents in America but uncomfortable with his hyphenated existence. Leela then is a universal story of two paths that cross each other and pause a moment before moving on.

| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghKapadia's intelligent, nuanced performance is the film's highlight, balanced by Khanna's portrayal of Nashaad, who could easily be a patronizing, chauvinist caricature. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsSo far beyond Bollywood, I think it's set in the suburbs of L.A. |
| The New York TimesDave KehrVeers between the light naturalism of American television and the pulsing melodrama of Bollywood entertainment. |
| Village VoiceNita RaoPriggish, lethargically paced parable of renewal. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe film is not without humor or conflict, but it is a complex coming-of-age story that places a premium on independence and attacks sexual hypocrisy. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoMost of the dialogue is in English, almost all of the story takes place in the U.S., and there is none of the kitschy fun that gives Bollywood flicks their charm. |
| OutlookNamrata JoshiThis NRI identity-crisis formula is already getting tiresome. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibSucceeds only as a cultural exchange of cinematic cliches. |
