Laila

Sonu Model runs a popular beauty salon in the old city and decides to hide behind an unexpected disguise, becoming Laila to dodge trouble and pursue a complicated plan. Wearing new clothes and a different name changes how people treat him, and what starts as a practical ruse turns into a string of mishaps that mix slapstick, flirtation, and sudden action. Romance sparks in odd moments, alliances shift, and small-scale chaos keeps gathering around Sonu as he juggles his double life. The plot keeps the focus on comic setups and character dynamics, avoiding big twists while leaning into escalating confusion and heart.

Laila was released in 2025, directed by Ram Narayan and created by Vishwak Sen and Vasudeva Murthy. The film stars Vishwak Sen as Sonu Model / Laila, with Akanksha Sharma, Babloo Prithiveeraj, Abhimanyu Singh, and Vineet Kumar rounding out the main cast.

Box office figures weren't widely reported, so there isn't a clear public tally of theatrical earnings. Early indications suggested a modest run rather than a blockbuster smash, with most conversation happening among fans and regional audiences after release.

On social media the film sparked conversation largely because of its cross-dressing premise and comic approach to gender performance. Clips and memes circulated, and viewers debated how the movie handled disguise and identity within mainstream rom-com conventions. It found a vocal audience that enjoyed the humor, even if opinions varied widely.

Critical response was mixed, reflected in an average score around 5.2 out of 10 from available votes. Reviewers tended to praise Vishwak Sen's energy and willingness to commit to outrageous set pieces, while noting uneven pacing and tonal shifts between slapstick and romantic moments. The film plays with themes of identity, performance, and how small deceptions can ripple into larger emotional stakes, aiming more for laughs and crowd-pleasing moments than for subtlety.
