A Heartbreaking Madness that is Intense, Wild and Imtiazy

Avinash Tiwari's performance as Majnu forms the very essence of the film. It is one of those performances that demands so much out of an actor to live up to the legend. And what he has pulled out of the role is insanely brilliant. It is very much a physical performance yet it makes you strike a chord with what's going on internally. The rate at which this destruction is happening within him is brought out in blood and bones by Avinash. The madness that's slowly taking over him spreads its spell all over the film. (more)

Laila Majnu is a beautiful timeless tale of star-crossed lovers set in contemporary Kashmir.

This is a love story of extremes and at times, the parts of the film do seem a bit unbelievable. When you're retelling a classic tragedy about undying and unrequited love like 'Laila Majnu', you can't expect bubble-gum romance. Sajid's effort is achingly honest and it is visible throughout the film. In his first film, he takes a very deep look at romance and there�s definitely no space for frivolity here. With all its intensity and passion, i's a good break from breezy romcoms and one that will stir emotions within.(more)

At long last, a true romance

This, therefore, is a film about the beholders. About how some are more blessed than others. Here are highly flawed and even doomed characters, yet they partake of something special, enviable and real. Who among us dares judge a true romantic? Love is love.(more)

All said and done, Imtiaz Ali films have a certain loyal fanbase & Laila Majnu is for them. Other people can attempt too but do not expect it to be your usual dose of entertainment because this is different. Laila Majnu is a heartbreak in the visual form & you need your heart to be at right place to love this film. Remember, love with logic is not love!(more)

Much ado about nothing

ajid says he also wanted to make a film that told the real story of Kashmir's youth. So now we know what they would rather be doing: playing unquestioning friends to lovers who sing one too many bad songs.(more)
