Huma Qureshi's latest film was the Zack Snyder directorial titled Army of the Dead, which is a zombie heist film. The Indian audiences were excited about Huma's role in a major Hollywood film and the fans' curiosity was piqued after Huma was featured in almost every trailer of the Netflix movie. But soon after the film hit screens, netizens were disappointed with her character and called it unrecognizable and unnecessary. Some people even compared it to Anil Kapoor's role in Mission Impossible. 

Geeta, Huma Qureshi's character was an Indian refugee who escapes to the zombie city in hope of getting money for bribery. The film further shows that she is captured by the Zombie King but is, however, saved by Kate, who helps her escape in a helicopter along with Scott, and Marianne. Later, the helicopter crashes and while the makers show that Marianne doesn't survive, there is no mention of whether Geeta lives on or has perished in the crash as well. Indian audience took to Twitter and made memes about Huma's blink and miss role and here are a few of them.
