Triptii Dimri and Avinash Tiwary starrer Laila Majnu has been re-released in theatres. The film, which is a romantic drama, has been getting an overwhelming response from the audience. It has scripted a history at the box office. The film has minted Rs 2.6cr in just four days. Directed by Sajid Ali, the romantic drama was released six years ago.
The Indian Express quoted, “Laila Majnu maintained a steady momentum on day four, with Monday collections of Rs 60 lakh. The film’s four-day collections now stand at Rs 2.6 cr, overtaking its original run of Rs 2.15 cr.” During an interview with IANS, Triptii Dimri revealed that she never auditioned for her role in the movie. She was spotted by the film’s casting head, who thought she looked Kashmiri and suggested she audition for the part. That’s how she got the role. The movie, presented by Imtiaz Ali, was released theatrically on September 7, 2018.
Laila Majnu is set in modern-day Kashmir, where Laila (played by Triptii Dimri) and Qais (played by Avinash Tiwary) are madly in love but can’t be together due to family tensions. Apart from Triptii and Avinash, the film also features Abrar Qazi, Sumit Kaul, Sahiba Bali, Mir Sarwar, Farhana Bhat, and more. Although the film didn’t receive great reviews from critics, its music became a huge hit.
Recently, film screening was held and all the actors were seen attending it. At the screening, emotions ran high as the cast reflected on the film’s journey. In a video shared by Viral Bhayani, Sahiba Bali can be seen getting emotional, hugging Triptii Dimri and Avinash Tiwary warmly after the screening. The video also captures a cheerful moment as Triptii, dressed in a sleek black top, takes a selfie with Sahiba, who is wearing an off-white t-shirt. Avinash, sporting a beige denim jacket, stands close by, clearly moved by the occasion.
Laila Majnu’s re-release across 75 screens in the country is a testament to its lasting impact and the devoted fan base it has cultivated over the years. Meanwhile, Triptii Dimri was last seen in Bad Newz opposite Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk.
