Laila and Kais refuse to give up on their love despite severe obstacles.

Poulomi Das

In its last 30 minutes, unveils the film's secret weapon: a visceral portrait of insanity. It's only here that the film actually lives up to its ambitious promise of retelling the legend of Layla and Majnun.

The uneven acting is in keeping with the rest of the film, which oscillates wildly between occasional bouts of lucidity and absurdity.

Summing up, Laila Majnu isn't your typical Bollywood romance. It's not a feel-good story with a happily-ever-after ending but is something that will shake you up emotionally for all the right reasons...

Rated: 3.5/5

Perhaps the biggest clue to this movie's bipolarity lies in its choice of location.

What is truly troubling is the fact that the Alis have resorted to the woman-as-a-tease and the male-suitor-as-a-stalker clichés that were once a fixture in Bollywood but that many contemporary filmmakers now abjure.

Rated: 2/5

Avinash Tiwary is very effective as Kais, but his Majnu act is over-determined and overstretched. Kais as Majnu fails to evoke pity or empathy.

A breath of fresh air. Engaging. Draws you in. The characters are adorable. Amazing retelling of the original legend. The end seems a bit rushed though. Tripti and Avinash killed it. Underrated romantic film. I can't believe the critics rated it low and I didn't watch it in theatre based on that rating.

Love love love this movie. It is so deep and meaningful. Beautifully portrayed. Even the songs are Amazing. Overall superb cinematic experience. Movie and the actors are underated at the moment. I hope this movie gets the recognition& appreciation it deserves 🤌🏻💗 watched it thrice. Beautiful. I know many feel the ending wasn't happy, but very few understand and realise they reunited in the here after. Just beautiful. My words are not capable to describe this movie.🫶🏻

I watched this movie twice in just 5 days and #lailamajnu Playlist is on loop. This movie is literally the master piece. Not that I could sense so much of reality in this story, but but but the pain that miserable feeling, that saddnes is truly was too much.i don't think after watching this I'd be able to like any other movie like i did this one. Great acting ♥️
