Review of Laila Majnu

A contemporary take of the classic folklore of star-crossed lovers whose love story ends in tragedy. The cinematography once again proves why Kashmir is hailed as Heaven on Earth. Great musical numbers integrate itself beautifully into the story. First half of the movie felt weak when they were building up the romance, but its the second half where the tragedy hits and the film becomes special. Avinash Tiwary does an amazing job as Kais and his descent into madness.
