It may not be revolutionary in concept or path-breaking in execution. But make no mistake. Ek Paheli Leela is the surprise of the year.Read full review3.0

You might guffaw at a few scenes because the film isn’t exactly an epitome of logical thinking. But as an entertainer, it’s colourful, crisp and convivial.Read full review3.0

…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.Read full review

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.Read full review2.0

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.Read full review

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

Martin D'Souza | Glamsham
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.Read full review2.0
Johnson Thomas | The Free Press Journal
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!Read full review2.0
Sonia Chopra | Sify
…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!Read full review1.5
Surabhi Redkar | Koimoi
…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.Read full review1.5
Ananya Bhattacharya | India Today
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.Read full review1.5

…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.Read full review1.5
Mayank Shekhar | The W14
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.Read full review

…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?Read full review1.0

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.Read full review1.0
Rahul Desai | Mumbai Mirror
Ek Paheli Leela is just an insincere, lavish and titillating compilation of every item song ever made.Read full review0.5
Shubha Shetty-Saha | Mid Day
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…Read full reviewNR
Suparno Sarkar | FilmiBeat
…is no doubt musical but it lacks in being a thriller, in true sense of the term. Apart from Sunny’s oomph factor and some fine music, the movie Ek Paheli Leela offers the same old story of reincarnation. Nevertheless, you can give it a try if you are a true Sunny Leone fan.Read full review

Shubhra Gupta | Indian Express
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.Read full review

Devesh Sharma | Filmfare
So should one watch this almost three-hour long non-mystery? Yes, if you are a Sunny Leone fan. To be fair to her, she looks good in most frames – even when she’s fully clothed. Maybe that was the point of the film – to make the audience take notice of the fact that given a chance, Sunny Leone can play a normal Indian girl too… would somebody give her that chance?Read full reviewNR
Mihir Fadnavis | Firstpost
This Sunny Leone starrer is soft porn without any actual porn…From outrageous and caricaturist gay characters to outright gay bashing, Ek Paheli Leela offers the whole platter.Read full reviewNR

…for the budget at which Ek Paheli Leela is made, it is entertaining and eye-filling. It has abundant sex and skin show, hit music, beautiful locations and colourful costumes, all of which make it a fine audio-visual presentation. It will prove to be a plus fare because of its medium investment (Rs. 17-18 crore) on the one hand and its fairly good initial on the other.Read full review

Anuj Kumar | The Hindu
Every plot point leads to either a song or a love making sequence with all the leading men in the film getting their turn leaving little for imagination. Enough fodder to keep the target audience swooning. And yes, here CBFC shows how liberal it is.Read full review

My review of Ek Paheli Leela (2015) by gogoi.anjan9
gogoi.anjan9, 8 years agoIt wont be justifyable to rate or comment any movie or any piece of work "bakwas" rather I would like to say its not a movie to watch in theater, the story is vry common type and all the actors looked confused about their role or you can say the script. Photography and recording are good and are only good to mention in this movie. -

My review of Ek Paheli Leela (2015) by Arjama Kalita
arjama.kalita, 9 years agoAn international model from London, Meera travels to Rajasthan for a photoshoot. As the story unfolds, Meera gets to know about the secrets of her previous birth which changes her life completely. Ek Paheli Leela, starring Sunny Leone as Meera. The movie revolves around two time zones. These kind of movie usually carries an interesting factor in it, which, this movie has terribly failed in. A pointless, predictable storyline is all that the movie carries in it. The usually sight of Sunny Leone with more sex appeal and less acting. Jai Bhanushali, the protagonist, did a decent job. Rajnish's acting cannot be judged as he shared a little screen space. The music, which should have been good, left the audience disappointed. The only must watch in this movie is Sunny Leone's never seen before 'Desi' look. In fact, her dialogue deliveries in Rajasthani, was quite good. Overall, this movie was quite disappointing with bad acting, bad direction, not very good music and of course, very bad storyline.Only if you are willing to watch 'any' kind of movie or you are a Sunny Leone fan, then go for it. But for the rest, please change the plan or you will need to pop pills for the next week to get rid of your headache. -

My review of Ek Paheli Leela (2015) by madhu20balaji
madhu20balaji, 9 years agoSeduction, re-embodiment frequently pops into the minds of people viewing the screens of the film “Ek Paheli Leela”. Sunny Leone plays the lead role. She, in the name of Meera, becomes the supermodel recruited under a fashion designer in London. They patch up for the shoots. The supermodel flew into the city of Rajasthan for a shoot canvassed by the fashion designer. As part of the custom, the local rulers of the city gathered to witness the shoot and one among them, Ranveer Singh, intrudes the shoot. He invites the team to his palace and with time the supermodel, Meera and Ranveer Singh fell in love. They tied knots and stepped ahead to live happily ever after. What happens from here on speaks the idea of the story. A dream of Ranveer on a night takes him 300 years backward that reveals the story of Leela, impersonated as Meera, his wife and him. The unwanted seduction scenes and songs of glamour tends people grade the movie porn.
