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...

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

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.

the songs and everything are so on point when i streamed it for the very first time i didn’t get much of it and also i wasn’t fascinated with the songs such as (hukus phukus),(tum nazar mai raho) but when i rewatched it and truly got to know the core of the movie i fell in love with it

Commendable lead performances and a superlative soundtrack can't make up for an unconvincing story.
