Laila is an absolute disaster from start to finish. It's a complete mess with no coherent story to speak of. The plot is riddled with tired clichés and laughable dialogues that are borderline cringe-worthy. I honestly don't understand how anyone with even a shred of class could sit through this. The acting is, at best, irritating, and at worst, utterly repulsive. It feels more like watching a low-budget adult film rather than a legitimate movie. The special effects? Don't even get me started - they're so awful that it pulls you completely out of any tension the film tries to build. The pacing drags on forever. Honestly, the movie feels like it's trying to punish you for simply watching. If you value your time and sanity, steer clear of this vulgar mess.
Wow. Just... wow. If cinema had a list of crimes against storytelling, this film would be on top. Nay, it would be the undisputed champion of disaster, a shining beacon of how NOT to make a movie. The sheer dedication it takes to make something this atrocious is almost commendable-almost.
The story? Oh, it's a masterpiece in cringe. A script seemingly fished out from the trash can of a Bhojpuri Film Industry, dusted off, and smeared with every outdated, cheap, and regressive trope imaginable. The dialogues? Written, I assume, by someone who was either held at gunpoint or actively plotting revenge against cinema itself.
And let's talk about the scenes-each one a new, spectacular level of torture. The cheesiness is so thick, it could be sliced and sold in grocery stores. Offensive towards women and transgenders? Oh, absolutely. The filmmakers apparently missed the memo that it's not 1985 anymore. And just when you think it can't get any worse, it throws another painfully unfunny, crass, or outright nauseating moment at you.
The music? Let's just say, I'd rather listen to a symphony of car alarms and construction drills. The sets and costumes look like they were borrowed from a low-budget college skit-one that the students themselves abandoned out of shame.
Vishwak Sen? Poor guy actually tried. And while effort is admirable, his over confidence and the direction he going not to be encouraged. And the female lead-well, what can we say? She's there, alright. Existing. Not her fault, though. She was clearly just told to stand there, wear whatever minimal fabric was handed to her, and add to the film's overall aesthetic of cheap gimmickry disguised as entertainment.
Now, let's be honest: this film doesn't need to be banned. That would imply it has some sort of impact. No, this one is self-sabotaging at an elite level. Give it a day, and it will naturally sink into oblivion, where it belongs. So, Jagan Anna fans, don't even waste your time. This film will destroy itself, no effort needed.
Verdict: If you love yourself, avoid this. If you hate yourself, still avoid it. Some bad movies are fun to watch ironically-this isn't one of them. It's just a big, fat, insulting waste of time.

Vishwak Sen, once a promising actor, seems to have completely lost his way in his pursuit of a "mass hero" image. Laila is yet another misstep, filled with outdated humor, forced comedy, and an over-reliance on vulgarity to engage the audience.
From the very start, the film struggles with weak writing and exaggerated sequences that fail to land. The so-called romantic track between Vishwak Sen and Aakanksha Sharma is poorly executed, relying more on skin show than genuine chemistry. The supporting cast, despite being packed with experienced actors, is wasted on one-dimensional roles that add little to the film.
Comedy, which should have been a major strength, falls flat due to an overuse of double-meaning dialogues and crude humor that grows tiresome. The attempt to incorporate Hyderabad Old City slang for laughs backfires, making the humor feel forced rather than organic. To make matters worse, the film drags on with unnecessary fight sequences and forgettable songs, further exposing the lack of fresh ideas.
Vishwak Sen has proven his acting chops in the past, but Laila shows that he seems to believe excessive cuss words and below-the-belt jokes are enough to draw in audiences. Unfortunately, it results in an exhausting and forgettable watch.

Some films entertain, some challenge, and others-like Laila (2025)-make you wonder how they even made it past the script stage. From start to finish, this film is an unbearable mix of forced humor, poor execution, and an overall lack of direction. It desperately wants to be clever and entertaining, but instead, it stumbles into a mess of cringe-worthy dialogue, flat performances, and painfully outdated tropes.
One of the biggest problems with Laila is how little effort it puts into storytelling. Instead of delivering a cohesive or engaging experience, the film meanders aimlessly, relying on lazy jokes and over-the-top antics that fall flat every time. The humor feels forced, the emotional beats are nonexistent, and there's no real sense of purpose. It's as if the filmmakers assumed loud, exaggerated performances and chaotic energy would be enough to carry the film. They weren't.
What's worse is that Laila seems to rely on controversy and shock value to gain attention rather than any actual substance. Instead of putting effort into a meaningful or entertaining story, it leans on gimmicks that only highlight how hollow the entire project is.
Ultimately, Laila (2025) is a complete misfire, offering nothing but frustration and regret to anyone who sits through it. It's not just a bad film-it's a waste of time. Avoid at all costs.

Laila is an unfortunate disaster in every sense. The film feels like a crude joke with no real plot or purpose. From the horrendous, cringe-inducing dialogue to the dreadful acting that's straight out of a B-grade adult film, it's hard to believe this was ever meant to be taken seriously. The special effects are so bad that they actively hinder the film's attempt at building any suspense. It's like the filmmakers forgot about every ounce of sophistication or artistry. The pacing is sluggish, and before long, the film starts to feel like a never-ending ordeal. If you want to preserve your dignity and your time, skip this vulgar mess.
