The much-hyped number Laila Main Laila featuring Sunny Leone from Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees is finally out and boy, we can’t get enough of it. The song is the remixed version of the eponymous iconic number from Qurbani (1980) that had the nation swooning over Zeenat Aman.

This one is set in a bar and super sexy Sunny Leone, clad in a skimpy lehenga choli, is seen entertaining those present. Sunny nails the jhatkas and matkaas in the track and Laila Main Laila probably will be the most talked about song of the adult star-turned- Bollywood actress after Baby Doll (Ragini MMS 2, 2014).

We also get a glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan in the song, who appears to be on a mission as he eventually kills someone towards the end of the song.
A couple of days ago, the Dilwale actor had said that Sunny is ‘ebullient’ in the track and we can’t help but agree.

The song has been choreographed Bosco Ceaser, while the vocals have been rendered by Pawni Pandey. Music director Ram Sampat has successfully managed to give the song a modern touch without losing the essence of the iconic track.
Finally, we have a number that has been remixed well. In the recent past a number of remixed songs such as Humma Humma from OK Jaanu and Mahi Ve from Wajah Tum Ho received flak for being uninspiring versions of the original songs. However, Laila Main Laila is unlikely to meet the same fate.
