Ek Paheli Leela (2015)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply Perfect

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Blistering performances.

Movie is worth watching..one of the best movie of for this year... It has many spoilers but still the plot, music, visuals, direction and SUNNY LEONE make it a nice watch..the way the words were delivered by sunny was worth watching and her moves were unspecialized.... Music is really too good and carries a perfect absorption in the movie Sunny Leone has groomed a lot in her acting skills The movie could have been improved much but still what made is good enough and something we could expect from a débutant director and a new actor Sunny Leone as she never did roles that demanded appropriate acting skills One more thing to be appreciated is that the movie contains minimum sex content by sunny Leone by whom she is generally known it has a good combination of drama, comedy and romance so go for it and finally the gorgeous sunny has started her proper acting career

I had never thought I would watch Leela, let alone review it. I and my friend had gone to watch Byomekesh Bakshi. However, there happened some confusion regarding the show-timing and we reluctantly agreed to watch Leela instead. But the movie turned out to be good. I don't like Sunny Leone's porn. In fact, I dislike that genre of porn altogether. I had thought that Leela would be yet another low- budget, B grade movie like Hate Story. However, it turned out that this movie is one of the most elegant depictions of female beauty ever done on the screen.As the rustic woman, Sunny looks mesmerizing, she looks exquisite, she looks enticing, she looks voluptuous, she looks angelic. And it's the result of an efficient teamwork. From makeup, to costumes to cinematography, all contributed to it. And surprisingly, Sunny not just looked good, she acted pretty well too. The cinematography stands out. It's the USP of the movie. Not just Sunny but also the desert, the lake, the palace, the village, the ancient structures, as if all become living characters!The movie has a script and a good one, for that matter. Especially the twist in the end suddenly makes you look at the whole story from another point of view. The audience was gasping and clapping. I heard a couple of thrilled guys still discussing the climax in the parking.Rahul Dev, Mohit Ahlawat, Jai Bhanushali, Rajneesh Duggal, Jas Arora - none of the male actors comes from the A league but they did a good job. Especially Ahlawat whose character had many shades. He had to look decent and debonair, yet manly without exuding false aggression. He managed it skillfully. His as well as Rahul Dev's diction was quite pleasantThe love-making scene between Sunny and Rajneesh Duggal was beautifully done. Contrary to Sunny's porn that is cheap and in-your-face, it looked erotic, yet classy and romantic.Music is another good point. Even when a song, "Saiyyan superstar" was clearly stuffed in just for the sake of putting another item- song, it is entertaining.The bad part is editing. Had editing been better, the movie could have become shorter and crispier. Ehsan Qureshi's double meaning comedy comes mostly as interruption.On the whole, Ek Paheli Leela is a visual treat with an entertaining story-line.

The only other film I rated a zero this year was Arjun Rampal starrer Roy and I still haven't recovered from the trauma. With Ek Paheli Leela, I am back in the hospital bed.Let me not start with the story, because if I do that, I may end up dead in the process. Honestly, I wanted to walk out of the movie hall in less than 30 minutes (that is the time I stipulate for a particular movie to decide whether it is watchable or not). Let me tell you what I could gather in those 30 minutes: two item songs, six flesh flashes, and three highly absurd conversations. I did not want to know where the story was going because the development is so dreary. And the trailer had made no sense.Then you will ask me what was I expecting? Yes, I was expecting all the above factors that would surround a mystery as the title clearly suggests. While there seems to be a foolish paheli hidden in the plot, I really didn't care to know what that is, because of the limpy introduction. And once you understand the paheli, you pull out your dictionary and search for the definition of paheli (mystery).If you can pass the obnoxious 30 minutes, you may enjoy the rest of the film. At the end, you will be content to have watched the same cleavage in different, colourful blouses and the humanity will liberate. So while there may be a paheli in the story, for me, the real paheli is the existence of people who are raving about the film.BOTTOM LINE: Be wise and skip it! 0/10 - fail.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NOVulgarity: Medium

My expectations were high for this movie after seeing it came to an average. But the songs are awesome and storyline is great. The film succeeded in portraying Leela,the character through sunny Leone. Pretty worth watching for the fans.' Mohit Ahlawat the actor also played the role very much. Climax was a turning point but was a sudden shut. I enjoyed watching the film because sunny has taken this great challenge in her life to play Leela, a Rajasthani village girl. There were many dialogs which were superb. The location which include London were she was a model reach India for a shoot were Rajasthan is shown. Then second half goes to the past life of the three main leads: Leela, Shravan and Bhairav.
