The Story: Obsession with Romance
Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat centers on politician Vikram Aditya Bhosle (Harshvardhan Rane), whose passion for Adaa Randhawa (Sonam Bajwa) devolves into a risky infatuation. Uncomfortable concerns about Bollywood’s depiction of love are raised when what starts out as a passionate affair quickly devolves into emotional manipulation and possessiveness.
Loading ...⭐ Critics’ Verdict: Mixed Signals
Here’s how leading reviewers rated the film:
| Source | Rating | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Bollywood Hungama | 3.5/5 | “Unapologetically massy” with solid performances |
| Times of India | 2.5/5 | “Visually pleasing but formulaic”—watch for emotions, not novelty |
| India Today | 2/5 | “Another obsessive lover in another problematic film” |
While Kunaal Vermaa’s music and Harshvardhan and Sonam’s chemistry are lauded, some caution against glamorizing unhealthy relationships, particularly at a time when real-world gender dynamics call for greater awareness.
💸 First Day at the Box Office: Good Start Despite Diwali Conflict
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat opened with a remarkable ₹8.50 crore on Day 1, despite competing with Maddock Films’ horror-comedy Thamma. With 37.75% Hindi occupancy, cities like Jaipur, Chennai, and Lucknow had high attendance, particularly for afternoon and evening performances.
Buzz on Social Media: “Must-See” or “One-Time Watch”?
On X (previously Twitter), audience responses range from “Great movie, must watch” to “One-time watchable.” Some complimented the soundtrack and emotional depth, but others thought the second half was a bit long and the conversation was awkward.
Music: The Heart of the Movie
Sonam Bajwa, Sachin Khedekar, and Shaad Randhawa’s performances enhance the otherwise formulaic plot, and Kunaal Vermaa’s soundtrack lends emotional weight. Although divisive, Harshvardhan Rane’s portrayal of a disturbed lover is powerful.
