Laila Majnu (2018) has found a new life, this time in the world of streaming. Led by the sensational duo of Triptii Dimri and Avinash Tiwary, this gem from director Sajid Ali and writer Imtiaz Ali is on its way to achieving cult status. In fact, many outlets have already declared the film a cult classic. Audiences just love this movie! And their affection is quite evident on Netflix these days. As expected, the film has secured a spot on Netflix India’s Top 10 movies list.
Within its first week of release on Netflix, Laila Majnu has climbed to the third rank on the streamer’s Top 10 weekly movie list. Still reigning supreme is Anees Bazmee’s hit comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which stars Dimri alongside Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, and Vidya Balan. Meanwhile, Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar is holding strong in second place.
The most surprising observation on Netflix’s Top 10 movie list this week is that the first nine spots are dominated by Indian films. The global sensation Carry-On, a gripping action thriller starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, has been pushed down to the tenth spot. Hard to believe? Salman Khan’s much-criticized Race 3 has also managed to secure a place on the list, landing in eighth position.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Laila Majnu has captured the hearts of many young viewers in India. The film offers it all: beautiful songs, mesmerising locations, a passionate and gripping love saga, and hard-hitting performances from the lead pair. Together, these elements make it an emotional rollercoaster that is impossible to forget. While you may not rank this movie as a cinematic masterpiece, it will undoubtedly leave an enduring impact, particularly through its profound and poignant depiction of the devastating effects of loss on an individual.
So, what are you waiting for? Go watch Laila Majnu on Netflix now! You guys can watch Race 3 as well but at your own risk! Stay tuned for more updates.
