The film’s title is a misnomer. It should have been Many Pahelis Leela, because all through this terrible drag, I kept trying to solve several puzzles with no success, coming up with a big zero in the end.

…regressive, illogical and completely dependent on Sunny Leone. She looks stunning and dances pretty well, but that much was also available on YouTube. Where is the film?

My only humble request is that the next director who gets to sign Ms Leone in a title role and the film is certified A, no time must be wasted in telling a story. All efforts must be devoted to making sure that her orgasmic shenanigans are of the quality and quantity that merit the A certification.

Though there are more flaws in the film’s execution, at the heart of it Leela is a genuinely intriguing, if slightly predictable story and the twist at the end could have been a game changer had it been played out better.

Nevertheless, critical analysis is not going to make much of a difference for this film is clearly a one woman show and as far as the film is concerned, it is always Sunny in Rajasthan.

What you choose to focus on – the sexy siren who apes everybody from Zeenat Aman to Aishwarya Rai or the visual compositions that caress the natural beauty of the locales – will determine what impact Ek Paheli Leela will have on you.

Feel free to have your pick. But to be honest, spare yourself the trouble. Ek Paheli Leela is simply not worth it.

If Sunny Leone gets your temperature rising then Leela won’t disappoint. Don’t have big expectations and you might be pleasantly surprised.

The real ‘paheli’ of the film’s title is not Leela’s story. It is why this film was even made. If you’re planning to watch the film, and there’s only one reason to do so – Sunny Leone – keep an aspirin nearby. You’ll need one.

…genuinely an unnecessary film. It offers nothing but Sunny Leone’s sexy shots and I don’t think you need to watch a film for that. Men may enjoy this film for their sensory pleasures since there is much more that meets the eye in this one.

Sunny Leone tries to be earnest but her performance is cringe worthy – they should hand over the Razzie and a Golden Kela to her right away.

Leela the mystery is a disappointment, on every count.

The film is shot on a grand scale but the connecting links to the past 300 years are not that convincing. The story could have been better entwined leaving the viewer in a state of suspense. Unfortunately, Bobby Khan treats the two issues differently and hence loses out on capitalizing on the tantalizing twist in the end.

This is a movie so bad that one is truly curious to understand the ‘creative process’ that went into bringing it alive. It’s a semi-porn rubbish masquerading as an intense romantic story…

The film is lavishly mounted and Basha Lal’s camerawork captures the sensuality of the earthy Rajasthan canvas just as well as he does Sunny’s curvaceous body. And Leone does the rest. This is not much of a movie but an experience ..of the Sunny Leone kind!

…is not for the one who would ask for logic. Watch it if you like random songs pushed into the story every 10 minutes so that the heroine dance in scanty clothes.

I’m actually stunned by the reincarnation of Ms Leone, or Karenjit Vohra, ex-pornstar of Punjabi descent, herself. She’s come a long way, baby. If you needed any further proof that she is really a bona fide, solo Bollywood star, it doesn’t get any bigger than this. Does one need to sit through a whole mumbo-jumbo picture to appreciate that? No.

…provides enough of Sunny Leone for her fans to fancy. Apart from that, it also features a fresh and engaging storyline, which makes the film worth a shot.

…a half-entertaining story that unfolds between songs, some past life mumbo-jumbo, sprinkles of Rajasthan exotica, and a good-looking cast that makes it somewhat bearable. And why half-entertaining? Because it’s so ludicrous, it’s almost fun!

Ek Paheli Leela is just an insincere, lavish and titillating compilation of every item song ever made.

Watching the film only for Leone and its imagery sure makes sense, but if you are also expecting a logical story and an engaging screenplay, you are definitely in the wrong screen. We would go for two stars for this one, more so for its visual appeal.
