Premleela is a 2019 Nepali romantic drama film released in theaters on 22 March 2019, on the same day as the film Kagaj Patra, with a runtime of 2 hours and 4 minutes. The film stars Deepsikha Khadka in the lead role, along with Ali Khan, an Indian model and actor, Mausam Khadka and Rabi Dangol in the principal cast. The film was promoted as a cross-border love story, and it was notable for its troubled production history: the original director left the project midway, and the lead actress Deepsikha Khadka took over the direction of the remaining portions of the film, while the initial director remained credited for the overall direction of the movie.

The story of the film revolves around the love between a Nepali girl and an Indian man, played by the Indian model Ali Khan. The film explores the cultural differences between the two countries and the challenges faced by the couple as they try to build a life together. The narrative moves between Nepal and India, and the love story of the central couple unfolds against the backdrop of the two cultures, showing the families, the traditions and the pressures that the lovers must overcome.

Deepsikha Khadka, who was already a popular actress known for her roles in films like Nai Nabhannu La 4, plays the central character, and her performance carried the emotional weight of the film. Ali Khan, making his debut in the Nepali film industry, brought a fresh face to the film, and the chemistry between the pair was the focus of the film's promotions. The film's soundtrack, with its romantic numbers, was also a highlight of its release.

The production story of the film became as notable as the film itself: when the director left the project halfway through the shooting, the production was stalled, and it was the lead actress Deepsikha Khadka who stepped in to complete the film, taking on the responsibilities of the director for the remaining days of the shoot. This unusual turn of events was covered by the Nepali media at the time of the film's release, and it added to the curiosity surrounding the movie.

Premleela remains a notable entry of the year 2019, remembered for its cross-border love story, the debut of Ali Khan in the Nepali industry, and the behind-the-scenes story of its leading lady completing the film.
