Oka Laila Kosam is a simple love story which doesn’t quite leave you with a big smile on your face, but it has enough mojo, if you are a big sucker for romance. After all, there’s nothing more comforting than a happy ending in a romantic film.

Oka Laila Kosam has some good scenes and sizzling chemistry between the lead pair. But the screenplay and treatment is a total let down. First half of the film is flat with out any excitement, whereas the drama in the second half doesn’t hold. Finally, the film ends up as one more mediocre fare for Naga Chaitanya.

All in all, OLK is a film where Chai shows flashes of good talent once again after Manam. However, barring a few well-crafted scenes and nice visuals, the film lacks a strong story to keep the story going. Once watchable for the taking.

OLK actually has some obliging situations and interesting pair but regrettably the screenplay and treatment have no idea what to do with them. First half of the film is flat, whereas the drama in the second half doesn’t hold. The outcome is yet another case of “had potential couldn’t deliver”, a syndrome that Telugu cinema is blight with for quite some time now. To cut the long story short, “Oka Laila Kosam” starts promisingly, bringing on some grins, but those grins vanish faster than it takes to “say cheese”.

Oka Laila Kosam is a happy watch. Nagarjuna has timed the release perfectly and it might work in favour of the film.

Vijay could re-establish himself with Oka Laila Kosam after Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyindi’s hit. He could succeed in bringing new talented angles of Chaitu, Anup and Andru. All the three skills have been elevated by Vijay. It is a ‘watch with family’ entertainer. A clean and cool film will be liked by all Akkineni fans.

With this film, it is once again proved that Naga Chaitanya is at ease with romantic entertainers. He along with debutante Pooja Hegde dominate the film with their superb performances. On the flip side, a predictable and simple second half slows down things to an extent. But who cares, as long as you are entertained and cheered up which Oka Laila Kosam manages to do decently.

Oka Laila Kosam is a kind of script that works only with magic moments and a gripping screenplay. Some of the moments in the film are good. But an engaging screenplay is required for the second half to work well. The climax of the film is nice. Plus points of the film are Naga Chaitanya and Pooja Hegde. The success of the film depends on how youth and family crowds embrace it.
