I finally watched Laila Majnu. Just finished the movie and came rushing here first thing.
AVINASH TIWARY YOU ARE A STAR! He was so freaking amazing. He lived the character, especially in the last half an hour or so when his depression reaches its peak and he starts to hallucinate Laila everywhere, acting like a "mad man". This was out & out his film, and he totally deserved an award (if not an honourable mention at least for his performance).
Tripti Dimri complemented Avinash well. She acted well for a debutante, though it wasn't as flawless as Avinash's performance. Nonetheless, the best thing about her is that she was confident and had screen presence. These two together made it a believable, intense and beautiful love story. Also, both of them had good chemistry.
This was definitely one of Imtiaz's better scripts. Of course, major credit has to go to the director who was able to execute the script well (which Imtiaz wasn't able to do as a director in a lot of his other films). The story flowed really well, and love the way they divided the film into 2 halves; Laila and Majnu. That was smart!
These two deserve more roles. Going to watch Bulbul next. Heard both of them are in it.
