anyway people and critics are still busy debating over whether sunny can act or not but the point is this film is a pointless rehash of what we all have seen in Bollywood & Hollywood over the few past decades plus some of the songs of Salman Khan were remade too,these filmmakers have some obsession with resurrection themes or what its is 2015 look at the year please its no 80s or 90s anymore the plot of Leela is so ridiculous itself on top of that its set in the desert oh yea this is over 2 hours of runtime with music videos & fake porn off course there is no actual porn but skin showoff with sunny Leone being the eye candy here,her voice is dubbed so badly the accent is still there one can't be sure if it's the dubbing or is it sunny herself speaking.
this is some z grade comedy i was laughing at every scene & even in serious situations camera work is fine but acting is so over the top like some cartoon characters run wild.
lame villains,too many flashbacks & sloppy ending so what is good here come back to the soundtrack album its a one time listen for sure but the best song is Desi Look you can just blast it loud it's a lot similar to her previous hit Baby Doll from Raginni Mms 2.
as far as sunny's career is concerned its is moving forward with speed the amount of Indian films she is releasing per year is commendable she is making money but thing is these films are so awful this is why people still love her in the porn star persona once she was in the past and prefer those films over these.
Overall Ek Paheli Leela 2015 is nothing but a bore fest there is no kissing & no sex save yourself from this torture my rating is 2/10.

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 pleasant
The 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.

Rating: 3/5 stars
Ek Paheli Leela is exactly what it set out to be, and for that reason alone it's entertaining and worth watching, because it serves its purpose. Yes, the plot is nothing out of the ordinary, but it was never meant to be to begin with, and more importantly, Director Bobby Khan does a good job of presenting the story in a linear, uncomplicated, easy-to-follow manner. It is a reincarnation tale about the love between Leela and her beloved, which was left incomplete because they were murdered by someone who craved Leela's affection and body for himself. The story comes full circle after 300 long years, when Leela has taken birth again as Meera and her lover's character is also reborn.
Sunny Leone's sensuousness has been put to full use, and she's made to strut her curvaceous form and oodles of oomph in bikinis, lingerie, scanty garbs, and sporadic sex scenes for the most part of the film's runtime. However, somewhere in-between there's also a decent thriller that not only fairly engages you but also ensures that Leone isn't the only object of your attention. Kudos to the Director and Producer for not fixating on Leone's sex appeal alone, and blending it cleverly within the storyline. Actually, the two factors feed off each other, for without the lead star's (And let's face it – Sunny Leone is the lead star here and not any of her male counterparts, since she's the one who'll put bums into the cinema hall seats, and from the reports coming in, has already achieved her purpose. Going by her recent track record for these low-budget, soft-core thrillers, it's safe to say that Leone is now a bona-fide, B- movie, Bollywood star.) effortless charisma, 'Ek Paheli Leela' would have ended up as just another mundane, forgettable thriller, and without the film's serviceable plot elements and the maker's gumption to dish out a decent film to go along with the 'sex' factor, it would have conversely landed flat on its face as a mediocre thriller solely meant to titillate.
The acting was never going to be noteworthy, but some of the cast members do end up delivering convincing performances, most notable Jay Bhanushali, Jas Arora , and Rajneesh Duggal. Sunny Leone wasn't cast for her acting skills, but I'd have to say that her faculties have improved quite significantly from her last outing. Shivani Tanksale, without having much to do is still passable while Mohit Ahlawat is as wooden as ever, and VJ Andy is as annoying as ever. The former needs to quit movies for good while the later needs to stop venturing further into movies before someone decides to physically harm him.
So, if you don't expect too much out of the film (and frankly, you'd be quite inane to go in with high expectations), and enjoy it for its tangy little twists and soft-core elements, you'll actually come away being pleasantly surprised.

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.

So when you have Sunny Leone featuring in a movie then you are sure to get the exact content you are looking for in those 2 hours and EK PAHELI LEELA largely delivers the same (in a stylish manner) with not one but two Sunny Leone's playing the contrasting characters of a gorgeous new age model and an innocent village girl of the olden times.
For the few interested in its storyline (pun intended), its about reincarnation of two loving souls and an evil one who are here again to complete their interrupted love saga. The concept of a renowned sculptor of the past killing a beautiful girl (his subject) and her lover, only to find them again in the rebirth was earlier seen in B. Subhash's hit English (adult) movie titled DIVINE LOVERS released in 1997 featuring Marc Zuber, Himent Birje and many foreign artists. Admittedly the present version is not as bold as the B. Subhash film that ran for quite long in the Indian theatres due to its x-rated content, but it still has Sunny Leone showcased in a more glamorous manner than ever before in her Hindi film career till date.
To give you an unbiased idea of the film, EK PAHELI LEELA does have its illogical plot developments, few average performances, a lengthy duration, excessive songs and some cheap double meaning dialogues too thrown in repeatedly to generate an instant laughter. But the film certainly doesn't have the look and feel of any B-C grade movie as was being looked upon before its release. And the complete credit for this 'unexpected excellence' goes to three departments in particular, namely its cinematography, art direction (including location & costumes) and the soundtrack featuring many hit tracks such as 'Desi Look', 'Saiyaan Superstar', 'Tere Bin Nahin', 'Glamourous Akhiyaan' and the best of the lot 'Khuda Bhi Jab Tumhein Mere Paas Dekhta Hoga'.
So when you have such strong merits associated with a film along with Sunny Leone giving her best performance till date both in terms of glamorous-sex appeal as well as improved acting then it doesn't let you rate the film anywhere close to something trash or ignorable, mediocre stuff quite honestly. In fact it was after a long time (going into decades) when I once again witnessed loud shouts, whistles and madness in a single screen theatre on the entry scene of a heroine (after that enigmatic era of Madhuri and Sridevi in the late 80s- early 90s). However no doubt here the whistles were obviously not for the on-screen enigma but for something else known widely.
Directed by debutant Bobby Khan, the film has its glamour factor exploited real well and that's where Bobby scores the best ahead than the script and its emotional aspect dealing with love and reincarnation. Where the first half doesn't let you take your eyes off the screen due to Sunny Leone simply looking stunning in all her scenes and well choreographed dance movements (particularly in track 'Glamorous Akhiyan'), there the second half could have been trimmed a lot with the suspense factor executed in a different and much elaborated manner, avoiding a few un-required songs and dragging sequences. However one truly has to applaud the director as well as his DOP for handling the skin show in the film so elegantly that it never turns out to be even close to something cheap as seen in Leone's earlier movies.
Regarding performances, Sunny Leone clearly leads the project boldly putting forward her best act till date in Hindi films and its really a visual treat to watch her grooving on the well composed tracks shot on some artistically designed sets and striking locations of Rajasthan. Recalling her earlier ventures, in both JISM 2 and RAGINI MMS 2 she was mere used as a sex object who was supposed to start shedding off her clothes with the word 'action', treating the audience too as fools sitting in the theatre. However with EK PAHELI LEELA it seems that she really is taking the acting career in India quite seriously, learning the art step by step and the director here too is not just interested in using her as a sex object alone ignoring everything else in the process. And that's what clearly visible in the hard work Bobby and his team puts in the film's interesting story selection, eye-catching sets, colourful costumes, enjoyable choreography, noticeable lyrics, well composed music and Sunny's better performance too.
In the supporting cast, Jay Bhanushali tries hard to perform well in his ill-defined role, Rajneesh Duggal, Mohit Ahlawat, Andy and Rahul Dev are all just OK making a decent impact, but Jas Arora despite being over the top gets some loud support from the viewers due to his cheeky dialogues rendered in a more vulgar style.
Summing up, EK PAHELI LEELA is a well shot, colorful, seductive, musical show presenting Sunny Leone like never before in a Hindi film. Hence it cannot be rated as anything trash just for the sake of it, as was the case in Sunny's last few projects. The film offers what is expected of it aesthetically without going into any cheap zone and thus deserves to be rated decently due to its visible merits.

And Jay bhanushali he deserves the role of Bhairav he acted quite good but the main attraction was obviously 'Sunny Leone' and the songs were well made.
Overall I would say it's a popcorn one time watchable and Forgettable movie but still keeps you as a Leone fan and I am waiting for her next release 'Kuch Kuch Locha Hai' for which I am more excited than this.
But it was a good attempt for a sunny leones type movie it was good not great and a one time watch.

Critic Rajiv Vijayakar from Bollywood Hungama gave the album a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and felt, 'Some tracks will help the film, some will be helped by the film, but the rest are largely fillers.

The Times of India gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and described the film as 'colourful, crisp and convivial'.[36]Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and praised the film's cinematography, direction, screenplay and stated, 'On the whole, Ek Paheli Leela is worth watching, purely because of Sunny Leone and the way she has been presented.. like never before!!!'[37]DNA India gave the film 2 stars and applauded Sunny's transfromation of two characters and film's music while stating that, 'Sunny Leone fans will be in for a royal treat.

Basha Lal's camera caresses Ms Leone's assets and the sand dunes of Jaisalmer with equal affection. 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.[39]
Mid Day called it 'semi-porn rubbish',[40]while IBNLive gave it 1.5 stars stating that the dialog was full of crude sexual jokes and that it was 'soft porn' emphasising the short skirts of the women and the physique of the men.[41] The Hindustan Times said the film had a ' ludicrous script' and 'wooden' acting.[42]India Today praised the cinematography and Leone's dancing.[43]Mumbai Mirror called it ' an insincere, lavish and titillating compilation of every item song ever made.'[44]Rediff stated although the film was poorly written and had many flaws in its execution, it succeeded at its purpose of being a one-woman show to highlight Leone.[45]Indian Express gave the film zero stars stating 'all this film wants to do is to exploit its leading lady's awe-inspiring stack.. From as many angles as possible, the closer the better'.[46]NDTV called it a 'vapid yarn about love, desire and obsession unfolds against good-looking backgrounds'.[47]
