Vishwak Sen's latest film, Laila, has ended as a massive flop at the box office and is out of theaters already. The comedy caper, directed by Ram Narayan and featuring Akanksha Singh as the female lead, was released on February 14, 2025. Despite its poor performance, the film is now set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video, which has acquired the digital rights to the film for a decent price.
The film's theatrical run was cut short, with multiple screens already dropping it from their lineup. To date, Laila has struggled to even cross the ₹3 crore mark, making it the lowest-grossing film in Vishwak Sen's career. However, the OTT release is expected to bring some respite, with Amazon Prime Video set to premiere the film within three weeks of its theatrical release. The film's OTT release is likely to be advanced, given its poor performance at the box office.
Although the songs from the film garnered some attention and went viral, the film's crass humor and adult content have drawn significant criticism. Many viewers have expressed disappointment, calling it tasteless and inappropriate. Additionally, Vishwak Sen himself has faced severe backlash, particularly because of the high expectations he set before the film's release. His bold claims have now backfired, leading to online trolling.
As for Laila, all eyes are now on its OTT premiere on Amazon Prime Video. The film's OTT release is likely to bring some respite to Vishwak Sen, who has faced severe backlash for the film's poor performance. Vishwak Sen has quickly moved on to his next project, a film directed by Anudeep, keeping himself busy. With Laila's OTT premiere, the film may get a new lease of life, and audiences may get to see it in a new light.
