But when Laila's family finds out about their relationship, they fixes her marriage with Ibban, her father's political assistant. Even though Laila waits for Qais to convince her father, she breaks up with him when he talks disrespectfully to her father. Qais tells her that he would not follow her anymore and asks her to find him if she ever need him. After four years, Qais returns from London for his father's funeral. He avoids meeting Laila but Laila who is regularly abused by her drunkard husband, who is now the MLA, decides to meet Qais. When she sees him, she realises that he was struggling all these years with her memories, making him a different person. Laila stands up to her husband and they decide to get divorced. Laila asks Qais to wait till her divorce. However, before the divorce, her husband dies in a road accident. Laila decides to run away with Qais on the day of the funeral but her father asks her not to and promises her that she could marry him after a few weeks. Laila again asks Qais to wait for her. Qais who had been waiting for years for her, gets a feeling that he will never get united with her and this thought makes him eccentric. He begins to have hallucinations of Laila, he talks to her and eventually runs off to a mountain. His family, friends and Laila, searches for him for days but he is missing. Qais however thinks that Laila is with him and starts a life with her in the mountain. He is caught by some people and is brought back to his house. There he recognises Laila but also says that Laila is not one person and that she is everywhere and points to different directions. Laila realises that she has lost him forever and dies of the grief.

He however stands up and looks at Laila, running towards a mountain. ==Cast== * [[Avinash Tiwary]] as Qais Bhatt / Majnu * [[Tripti Dimri]] as Laila * Farhana Bhat as Jasmeet * Duaa Bhat as Shama * [[Benjamin Gilani]] as Sarwar * [[Parmeet Sethi]] as Masood * [[Sumit Kaul]] as Ibban * Sahiba Bali as Ambreen * [[Abrar Qazi]] as Zaid * [[Shagufta Ali]] as Laila's Aunt *[[Shashank Vyas|Shashank vyas]] * [[Mir Sarwar]] as Qais' Brother-in-law * Vasundhara Kaul as Qais's Sister * Sujata Sehgal as Laila's Mother * RJ Rafiq as Tauseef * Moomin Rafiq as Umer * Shahid Gulfam as Rasool ==Soundtrack== {{Infobox album | name = Laila Majnu | type = soundtrack | artist = [[Niladri Kumar]], [[Joi Barua]] and Alif. | cover = | caption = | alt = | released = 17 August 2018<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.saavn.com/s/album/hindi/Laila-Majnu-2018/qGsDySnlw20_|title=Laila Majnu – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack |publisher=[[Saavn]]}}</ref> | recorded = 2018 | venue = | studio = | genre = [[Feature film soundtrack]] | length = 42:33 | language = [[Hindi]] | label = [[Zee Music Company]] | producer = | prev_title = | prev_year = | next_title = | next_year = | misc = {{External media | audio1 = {{YouTube|zlab41kl8jg|Official Audio Jukebox}}}} }} [[Hitesh Sonik]] composed the film's background score and [[Niladri Kumar]], [[Joi Barua]] and Alif composed the songs.
