Laila Majnu (Hindi pronunciation: [lɛːlaː mədʒnuː]) is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film starring Avinash Tiwary and newcomer Tripti Dimri.

[6][7][8][9] A contemporary retelling of the legendary Arabic tragedy Layla and Majnun, it follows two star-crossed lovers, Laila (Dimri) and Qais Bhatt (Tiwary) who are unable to unite as they face opposition from their families.

Released theatrically on 7 September 2018, the film met with lukewarm response and failed commercially at the box office.

But in later years, it received positive reviews for its story, cast performances and soundtrack, garnering critical acclaim.

[10] Belonging to a reputed family in town, Laila is a flirt who likes to tease boys who are attracted to her.

When Laila's family finds out about their relationship, they fix her wedding with Ibban, her father's political assistant.

Laila decides to run away with Qais on the day of the funeral but her father asks her not to and promises her that she can marry him after a few weeks.

The film ends with a song and it is shown that their souls are finally reunited, free to do everything that they had planned they would do together.
