The tragic tale of love, pining forever, but never finding their happy ever after, is something that has inspired writers ever since Shakespeare with his tale of Romeo and Juliet. In India, we have an older version of this tale in Layla and Majnun first written down by Nizami Ganjavi in 1188. In Hollywood, countless movies seem to be made or inspired by Romeo and Juliet and of course how could Bollywood miss out on the chance to bring this to audiences with the story of Layla and Majnu. Whether it be Rishi Kapoor’s 1976 version, the brilliant nautanki in Madhuri Dixit’s Aaja Nachle or the recently released 2018 film Laila Majnu, the original great tale of Layla and Majnun, tells of the ill-fated lovers, brought together by love, divided by their families and driven mad by Majnun’s undying devotion for his Layla.
