Feel Good Entertainer.

With this film, it is once again proved that Naga Chaitanya is at ease with romantic entertainers. He along with debutante Pooja Hegde dominate the film with their superb performances. On the flip side, a predictable and simple second half slows down things to an extent. But who cares, as long as you are entertained and cheered up which Oka Laila Kosam manages to do decently.(more)

A feel good film

The film is also a perfect launching pad for Pooja Hegde and she has performed well. She is beautiful, cute and very impressive and has a bright future ahead. Ali provided a few laughs and in the second half, Posani Krishna Murali entertains with his comic timing. In the other characters, Shayaji Shinde, Suman, Rohini and Sudha are good as elegant Telugu parents. The action scenes deserve special mention as they have been well composed. There are, however, a few drawbacks. The story is predictable and drags a bit in the second half. Some of the scenes are inspired by a few older movies, especially the �macha� scene reminds one of Nagarjuna�s Ninne Pelladatha. The director has concentrated more on the lead actor and has left the female lead in confusion and there is no clarity about her character. But overall it�s a feel good film and you can watch it once for Chaitanya and Pooja Hegde.(more)

Routine Boring Fest!!

OLK actually has some obliging situations and interesting pair but regrettably the screenplay and treatment have no idea what to do with them. First half of the film is flat, whereas the drama in the second half doesn�t hold. The outcome is yet another case of �had potential couldn't deliver�, a syndrome that Telugu cinema is blight with for quite some time now. To cut the long story short, �Oka Laila Kosam� starts promisingly, bringing on some grins, but those grins vanish faster than it takes to �say cheese�.(more)

The story is wafer thin.

Oka Laila Kosam is a kind of script that works only with magic moments and a gripping screenplay. Some of the moments in the film are good. But an engaging screenplay is required for the second half to work well. The climax of the film is nice. Plus points of the film are Naga Chaitanya and Pooja Hegde. The success of the film depends on how youth and family crowds embrace it.(more)
