Army of the Dead is a 2021 American zombie heist film directed by Zack Snyder, with a screenplay he co-wrote with Shay Hatten and Joby Harold. The Zack Snyder directorial released a few days ago, on May 21, 2021, on the streaming giant Netflix and has been garnering mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike. Indian actor Huma Qureshi also was a part of the Army of the Dead's cast and portrayed the character of Geeta, an Indian mother who tries to escape the quarantine camp along with her kids. Netizens, however, weren't very happy with Huma's short screen time in the recently released Netflix film and took to Twitter and shared memes about the same.
Netizens react to Huma Qureshi's blink and miss role in Zack Snyder's movie
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.
TBH - Army of the Dead is a bit of disappointing, Huma Quereshi unrecognizable though.
