Critical Reception
“Laila” has received low ratings across the board. Critics have criticized the weak and unconvincing narrative, which relies too heavily on Vishwak Sen’s transformation into Laila.

The film’s emotional depth is lacking, making it difficult for the audience to connect with the characters or the storyline.
Performances

Technical Aspects
Richard Prasad’s cinematography is one of the film’s few highlights, effectively capturing the glamour of Sonu’s world. However, the editing is inconsistent, contributing to a disjointed flow. The direction by Ram Narayan is criticized for its reliance on Vishwak Sen’s transformation, instead of developing a compelling and engaging story.
Overall Verdict
“Laila” is ultimately a disappointment, failing to offer a fresh and engaging experience. With a weak story, outdated humor, and a dull screenplay, the film struggles to resonate with modern audiences.
