Vishwak Sen's first release of 2025, '
Laila,' has hit theatres, but initial reactions on social media paint a mixed picture. While a couple of viewers appreciated aspects of the film, many have expressed disappointment, and called it a "disaster."
Several moviegoers shared their immediate reactions on X (formerly
Twitter), with a significant number criticizing various elements of the film. One user described "Laila" as "a clueless film where everything from writing to direction to music to actors' performances failed," adding that both halves were equally weak.
The reviewer wrote, "Laila - A clueless film where everything from writing to direction to music to actors' performances failed. A bad first half followed by a pretty bad second half made the film a forgettable outing for Vishwak Sen and the team".
Another internet user wrote, "#Laila is a complete disappointment, lacking a single memorable scene. Total movie ULTRA DISASTER MOVIE."
One tweet reads, "Inside info: DISASTER FIRST HALF AND SECOND HALF #Laila It begins at a slow pace, taking time to engage with the storyline, However, once it picks up, the plot becomes quite boring BGM CRINGE COMEDY Interval & Pre Interval scenes, twists FINALLY - DISASTER"
Other common criticisms included a slow and unengaging storyline, cringeworthy comedy, and a generally outdated feel. One tweet stated, "#Laila is an old 2000s lo ravalsina rotta comedy blunder," suggesting the film's humor and style felt out of touch with current audiences.
The netizen writes, "#Laila is an old 2000s lo ravalsina rotta comedy blunder. Enduku scripts intha worst ga choose cheskuntnav @VishwakSenActor so sorry bro chala disappointed. Wishing you for your mass ka das comeback.Bodyshaming comedy adhi idhi work avvale #LailaReview Thatha tweet eyyakarle "
One wrote, "#Laila movie review: it is a terrible and outdated story The biggest minus point is the hero, @VishwakSenActor Bad story Worse music Poor direction Cheap comedy Each and every frame of the movie is disappointing It is better to avoid this movie in theaters"
Another says, "#DisasterLaila Movie doesn't worth of ticket cost waste of going to #Laila"
Some viewers, however, offered more positive feedback. One Twitter user rated "Laila" 3 out of 5, praising the title card, Vishwak Sen's energy and screen presence, the acting, and some comedy scenes referencing Megastar's movies. This user felt Sen delivered a one-man show.
However, a section of groups believe Vishwak gives his all to pull off the female character Laila, but the director and writing team fail to lift it with the writing or an unpredictable plot.
The tweet reads, "#Laila Review 3/5 First Half Completed Title card, Hero Energy Level, Screen presence, acting, super Comedy Scenes Megastar movies Reference One man show Mass Ka Das"
'Laila' features Vishwak Sen in a dual role alongside
Aakanksha Sharma. The movie is directed by Ram Narayan. The film's plot involves Sonu Model, a beautician from the old city, who is forced to disguise himself as Laila, which results in comedic, romantic, and action-packed events.
The initial social media reviews indicate that the film has not resonated with a large section of the audience.
