Don't know how the movie will fare at the box office, but at least, Laila Majnu seems to have a winning score. Instead of sticking to usual popular composers, producers Imtiaz Ali and Ekta Kapoor have decided to give up and coming musician the opportunity to score the music for Laila Majnu. Going by the three songs we have heard by now, it looks like they have done right with the decision.

The first song, Aahista, in Arijit Singh's voice, was a beautiful, romantic song. The second track, O Meri Laila, sung by Atif Aslam and Jyotica Tangri was livelier. Now the third song, Hafiz Hafiz, has come out and it encapsulates the sheer madness of passionate love. The song is about beaten and bloodied Majnu, played by Avinash Tiwary, has gone insane in love and has been seeing visions of Laila, played by Tripti Dimri. Hafiz Hafiz has been composed by Niladri Kumar. It also feels really good to hear Mohit Chauhan crooning a track after a long time.

Imtiaz Ali's brother, Sajid Ali, has directed the film, based on the popular folklore by the same name. Recently, Imtiaz Ali wrote on his Facebook as to why he felt the need to create the legendary love story. He had written, "For over a thousand years, the tale of Laila-Majnu’s love is being told & heard. There has to be something about this story that connects with each passing generation. Trends and expressions change, people come and go, but Laila Majnu never goes out of fashion. It’s fascinating. Here are some my thoughts on this and a lot more in-Laila Majnu Tales by Imtiaz Ali. (sic)"

Laila Majnu will release on September 7.
