Laal Jodee is a Nepali comedy drama that was released in theatres on 2 September 2016. The film was directed by Laxman Subedi, who also wrote the story, the screenplay and the dialogue, and who served as the producer of the project as well. It was one of the several films that Laxman Subedi made during his career in the Nepali industry, after he had come to the cinema world from the field of journalism.

The cast of the film included Jyoti Kafle, Aayushma Karki, Rajani K.C., Puran Thapa, Kishor Bhandari and Jack Shrestha in the main roles. The combination of comedy and drama is a staple of the Nepali screen, and the film followed the tradition of the family entertainment of the period, where the humour was mixed with the everyday situations of Nepali household life. The title itself, which refers to a pair of red shoes, hints at the light and playful tone of the picture.

Laal Jodee received a UA certificate from the censor board, which meant that it was considered suitable for the general family audience. The film was released in the early autumn of 2016, a season that has been a popular slot for the smaller and medium-scale productions of the industry. Like many films of its scale, it relied on the familiarity of its performers and the simplicity of its comedy rather than on heavy action or special effects.

While the film did not become one of the giant hits of its year, it remains a part of the record of the Nepali cinema of the mid-2010s, a time of many small and medium productions that shared the theatre screens of the country. The full movie is now available on YouTube, where it can be watched freely, and it continues to be discovered by viewers who enjoy the older style of Nepali family comedy. It is a good example of the kind of entertainment that filled the local halls in that period.
