Fans React on X
One user shared,
“#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat Movie Review: Rating – One Time Watchable. The film tries to be an intense musical love story but ends up feeling a bit overdramatic and predictable. The first half and interval work well, but the second half drags. The songs and emotional moments stand out, though some dialogues — especially the shayari ones — come off as cringe, like Instagram reels. Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s chemistry, however, is quite good.”
Another fan wrote,
“#Ekdeewanekideewaniyat is a good movie. The songs and story are strong — definitely worth a watch.”
A third review said,
“#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat’s music is its USP. The second half improves after a weak start. Harsh and Sonam are decent, but the weak writing and direction hold it back. Thankfully, the music saves it.”
And one user summed it up humorously,
“More serial than cinema. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat really said 1000 episodes in 2 hours.”
Box Office Outlook
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat opened to a steady start, with early estimates suggesting earnings between ₹6–8 crore on its opening day. The film’s performance may improve if evening and night shows attract more viewers. However, the box office clash with Thamma has affected its screen count and show timings, especially in multiplexes like PVR INOX, which reportedly prioritized Thamma in advance bookings.
About the Film
Directed and written by Milap Zaveri, with additional writing by Mushtaq Shiekh, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is produced under the banner of Desi Movies Factory. The film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in the lead roles and was released on October 21, 2025, coinciding with the Diwali festival weekend.
Plot Overview
The story follows Vikramaditya, a passionate artist whose deep love for Adaa, a free-spirited woman, turns into obsession. What begins as a soulful romance spirals into a story of jealousy, control, and heartbreak. As Vikramaditya’s insecurities grow, love transforms into madness, leading to a tragic unraveling.
Set against a backdrop of music, art, and emotional turmoil, the film delves into how love can both heal and destroy — a theme that feels quintessentially Milap Zaveri.
Jay-Ho! Final Act
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat may not break new ground, but it offers a mix of passion, drama, and music that romance lovers can enjoy. While the writing falters in places, the chemistry between Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, along with soulful music, keeps it engaging enough for a one-time festive watch.
