Poulomi Das Arré 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. Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Shilpa Jamkhandikar Reuters The uneven acting is in keeping with the rest of the film, which oscillates wildly between occasional bouts of lucidity and absurdity. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Devesh Sharma Filmfare 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 Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion Perhaps the biggest clue to this movie's bipolarity lies in its choice of location. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost 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 Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in 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. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Imtiaz Ali make movies way ahead of time. This is such a Cult classic one and it lives upto its name every bit. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Parnil Y A breath of fresh air. Engaging. Draws you in. The characters are adorable. Amazing retelling of the original legend. Tripti and Avinash killed it. Unrated romantic film. I can't believe the critics rated it bad and I didn't watch it in theatre based on that rating. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Sai G 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.🫶🏻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Audience Member CULT CLASSIC , BEST MOVIE ..

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 ♥️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Suzanne Z This movie has my heart. An absolute masterpiece and definitely the most underrated movie of bollywood.
