The film 'Whose Son Is He?' begins its story from an attempt to restore social relationships to their correct path, but the filmmakers presented it in a comedic format full of amusing situations, through the life of a 'careless man' in his marital relationships that last only days or a few hours, far from bearing responsibility for any other consequences.

It is mentioned that the character 'Roshdy,' played by artist Bayoumi Fouad, possesses sincere feelings but fails to determine his goal in life. He has gone through life following the same path of recklessness and fleeting relationships, until 'Magda,' the serious lawyer and defender of women, appeared in his life to inform him of a huge inheritance left to him by his aunt residing abroad, but he will not be able to receive it until he finds his son whom he fathered from one of his wives.

Roshdy's journey to find his son begins accompanied by the lawyer and her son 'Karim,' played by young artist Ahmed Essam El-Sayed. Roshdy tries to obtain his inheritance by any means; so he resorts to defrauding the lawyer by attempting to rent a wife and her son to play the roles in front of the lawyer, who refuses to abandon her principles and implement the will to the letter.

The lawyer stands up to his recklessness after a failed attempt to obtain the inheritance through fraud, and begins with him a journey of searching for his ex-wives one by one until he finds his son and receives his inheritance.

The film includes a group of actresses as 'guest stars,' whose roles relied on revenge against Roshdy's recklessness that affected their lives negatively.

In addition to the character of artist Shaima Seif, who appeared in the first comedic scenes of the film, and artist Zeina Mansour, whom Roshdy exploited in defrauding the lawyer to get the inheritance, the search for wives included participation of artists Wizo, Dalia El-Omari, Rania Youssef, and Entisar, along with a special appearance by artists Hamdi El-Mirghani and Karim Afify.

Roshdy distances himself from people and denies the inheritance that led him into a whirlwind of search and failure, but at the same time, it awakens fatherly feelings within him for the first time. He quickly regains his balance, starts looking for a job, and gets closer to the lawyer after winning the favor of her son Karim, and confesses his feelings to her. However, she lives a difficult emotional life after her husband abandoned her and left at the beginning of their marriage.

The surprise is that Roshdy's aunt, played by artist Hala Fakher, is still alive, and that she arranged the inheritance in agreement with the lawyer, aiming to reform Roshdy's life and steer him away from the path he chose for himself. She may have succeeded in that, but she also awakened his feelings and made him live a bitter reality during his search for his son, whom he did not find.

The film 'Whose Son Is He?' is produced by Fox Studios and Dubai Studios, written by Loay El-Sayed, and directed by Hisham Fathy. It is the fifth film to bring together Bayoumi Fouad and Lebleba, after they previously co-starred in 'Mama Hamel,' 'Sugar Daddy,' 'Al-Mustariha,' and 'Toxic Marriage.' According to Egyptian film critic Mohamed Abdel Khaleq, the works of Bayoumi Fouad and Lebleba have revived the idea of 'duos' in cinema, which had been absent for a long time, except for a few repeated experiments by stars that did not qualify as an artistic duo.

Abdel Khaleq added to Asharq Al-Awsat that 'the acceptance and chemistry that brought them together achieved popular success, in addition to their commercial success, especially in Arab markets, thanks to choosing social ideas suitable for their age stage and presenting them with a comedic touch that won people's admiration.'

Egyptian film critic Mohamed Abdel Rahman confirmed that the film is a clear investment in the unexpected cinematic duo between Bayoumi Fouad and Lebleba, which has achieved success and audience accumulation recently, especially in the Gulf market.

He told Asharq Al-Awsat: 'This time, the film is different in its idea from the other works that brought the duo together before; they were not presented as a couple, but the hero was put under pressure to change his lifestyle,' noting that although a romantic situation arises between the two protagonists, the film escapes the traditional ending and does not end in marriage.

Abdel Rahman pointed out that 'the film relied mainly on the charm of Lebleba and the humor of Bayoumi Fouad, along with a number of funny situations that drive the events, and it also benefited from the appearance of several guest stars.'

Abdel Rahman added that 'Whose Son Is He?' despite being lengthy in some stages, is suitable for the family, and its makers are betting on achieving higher revenues in some Arab countries.
