Vishwak Sen’s latest release, Laila, has turned out to be the biggest failure of his career, struggling to even pull a minimum audience to theatres. The film ended its theatrical run with a mere ₹1.5 crore share worldwide, making it a massive box office disaster. Both the movie and Vishwak Sen have faced heavy criticism from audiences and critics alike.
From the beginning, Laila failed to generate positive buzz. Despite the actor’s aggressive promotions, the film’s content did not resonate with the audience. Poor storytelling, weak screenplay, and awkward scenes have been major talking points, with many labeling it an experimental misfire. The film’s failure marks a major setback for Vishwak Sen, who was riding high on previous successes.
Vishwak Sen definitely puts in a lot of effort for the film, especially for the Laila getup. He mentioned that he didn’t even step out for a month, and the makeup process took more than 2 hours every day. However, all his efforts go in vain, and he faces heavy criticism due to poor story selection.While Laila flopped in theatres, its journey is not over yet.
Laila OTT Streaming Details
Laila ‘s digital rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime Video, and the film is set to premiere on the platform from March 7. However, the OTT release might not bring any relief to the makers. Given the film’s content and several odd, unintentionally funny sequences, there is a high chance that it will be subjected to heavy trolling on social media after Laila OTT. With Laila turning out to be a massive misstep for Vishwak Sen, all eyes are now on his upcoming projects. The actor will have to carefully choose his next scripts to regain his lost momentum in the industry.
