Our take

A Telugu-language action comedy about a beautician who disguises himself as a woman, leading to chaotic romance and fights. Moderate profanity, alcohol references, slapstick action, bullying jokes and flirtatious scenes. Suits older teens who know Indian masala comedy.

Uplifting themes

Friendship and confidence emerge amid chaotic humour The lead shows creativity, though deception still drives much of the comedy

Story (may spoil tone)

Sonu Model, a renowned beautician from the old city, is forced to disguise himself as Laila, leading to a series of comedic, romantic, and action-packed events. Chaos ensues in this hilarious laugh riot

Talk after watching

  • Disguise comedies can reinforce stereotypes. How should families talk about gender presentation respectfully?
  • Slapstick fights look painless on screen. Why is real violence never funny off-screen?
