Leela is a bar dancer in Mumbai. She is young, beautiful, determined and
hedonistic. And she is also self destructive, cynical and full of
despair. When the dance bars in the city are banned, the young woman and
her friends find their worlds slowly giving way. Journalist Sonia
Faleiro followed Leela before and after the ban, meeting her friends,
her lovers, and her family. In this extraordinary work of reportage, she
draws an unforgettable portrait of the bar dancer and her subterranean
night-time world.
