For me Imtiaz Ali movies are always a yes because they take you to some another level of psych, emotions which is very hard to find in today's Bollywood movies.
Laila Majnu is also an intense take by Sajid Ali and his brother Imtiaz Ali. Seriously this movie is like a hangover. You won't be able to digest it overnight. It has reflections from Imtiaz previous work like unrequited love, and instances from tamasha where Ranbir says ladka ladki milenge, ladka patane ki koshish karega, ladki nakhre karegi fir maan jayegi. Where tamasha shows how love can transform you positively, this movie shows how love far can devastate you.
The movie and its lead characters Qais & laila are pure, innocent and derived directly from heart. One scene where majnu sees laila after 4 years and instantly breaks down is pure gem. It was like how your wish to see your almighty gets fulfilled. His intense love for laila makes her feel guilty of her decision taken 4 years ago. Avinash the lead actor, what to say, his style, confidence and madness to portray madness of majnu is terrific and beyond words.
Yes its hard to get the crux of the movie at first instance like Imtiaz earlier works. You have to watch it again to get a different angle, a different meaning altogether because there are some things which are unexplainable like why majnu gets mad and roams around in jungle when laila told him to wait for her. These are some of the exact points why some people won't like it. Such deep and raw emotions, which only Imtiaz Ali can only convey, is not everyone's cup of tea. Watch it and experience yourself the beauty of love. Go for it with open heart and you sure won't regret your decision because a movie made from heart will definitely reach your heart given you don't apply logic in it.
