"Finally we get a good solid intense love story in #LailaMajnu. Avinash Tiwary makes a smashing debut and Tripti Damri is good too," a Twitter user wrote.

"More #LailaMajnu: Not a fan of tragic love stories... I would rather live and love than die for it... But @avinashtiw85's performance makes it worth a watch," another user tweeted.

"#LailaMajnu is a masterpiece in modern times where love is merely dating apps and flings, @ektaravikapoor's love story is soul stirring and reinforces love, Locales are beautiful #Avinash nailed it as Manju and #TriptiDimri is gorgeous. Take a bow team @balajimotionpic," another user lauded the film.
