Critical response[edit]
A reviewer of Zee News wrote "The first half of the film is full of little glances, love scenes and comedy. Pepe's easygoing style and acting is the highlight of the first half. The movie is set in a college setting".[4] Sanjith Sidhardhan from OTT play wrote "Verdict: If you are in the mood for a light-hearted romcom, Oh Meri Laila makes for a decent one-time watch, thanks to its lead cast".[5] P. Ayyappadas from Malayala Manorama says "The director has been able to accurately portray different environments like campus, love and family. Anuraj OB has also been able to shine in script and acting. Sona Olikal's remarkable performance as the heroine deserves applause. Babloo Aju's cinematography and Ankit Menon's music are also appreciated".[6] Shrishma Eriat from Mathrubhumi says "Another Antony Varghese will be seen on screen, giving a very simple performance from the beginning to the end of O Meri Laila. A standout performance in this film suggests that films are yet to discover the talented actor Antony Varghese is capable of, rather than just portraying a hard-hitting, stubborn character".[7]
