==Plot==
Belonging to a reputed family in town, Laila is a flirt who likes to tease boys who are attracted to her. She meets Qais Bhatt, a boy belonging to a rich family. At first Laila is unsure about them and tells him to not follow her. Qais gives her a note that says that he will not bother her anymore and if she wants him, she has to reach him. The following day however, they end up crossing paths again at a wedding and Qais realises it's destiny. Despite ongoing legal disputes between their families, the two fall for each other. When Laila's family finds out about their relationship, they fix her marriage with Ibban, her father's political assistant. She is forced to attend the wedding when her father threatens to drink poison if she doesn't comply. However , Laila is still hopeful that Qais will convince her father. But she hears a part of their conversation and breaks up with him reluctantly, assuming he was speaking disrespectfully to her father. Qais, hurt by the misunderstanding, tells her again that he would not follow her anymore and asks her to find him if she ever needs him.
After four years, Qais returns from London for his father's funeral. He avoids meeting Laila. Laila, who is regularly abused by her drunkard husband, the new MLA, decides to meet Qais. When she sees him, she realises that their breakup affected him terribly and that he was struggling with his mental health. He seemed like a different person to her at odd moments. 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 can marry him after a few weeks. Laila again asks Qais to wait for her.
Qais, who had been waiting for her for years, 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 search for him for days but are unable to find him. Qais however hallucinates Laila to be with him and starts a life with her in the mountains. 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 but she is everywhere and points to different directions.
Laila concludes that he has reached an ultimate level of love. She announces that in order for them to be together their souls need to meet. Then, while holding the note he had given her in the beginning of their relationship, she dies. The note said she has to reach him if she wants him, indicating Laila had started a journey to reach him again. Qais (referred to as Majnu, meaning "crazy" in Arabic language, in the second half of the movie as an ode to [[Layla and Majnun|Layla-Majnun]]), realizing that Laila is no more, runs towards the mountains when he stumbles and hits his head over Laila's grave. As he takes his last breath, he sees Laila calling to him from the mountain top. The film ends with a song and it is shown that their souls are finally reunited, free to do everything that they had planned they would do together. The film ends with the line, "They lived happily ever after - which is both ironic and true".

Then, while holding the note he had given her in the beginning of their relationship, she dies. The note said she has to reach him if she wants him, indicating Laila had started a journey to reach him again. Qais (referred to as Majnu, meaning "crazy" in Arabic language, in the second half of the movie as an ode to [[Layla and Majnun|Layla-Majnun]]), realizing that Laila is no more, runs towards the mountains when he stumbles and hits his head over Laila's grave. As he takes his last breath, he sees Laila calling to him from the mountain top. The film ends with a song and it is shown that their souls are finally reunited, free to do everything that they had planned they would do together. The film ends with the line, "They lived happily ever after - which is both ironic and true".
