Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s latest film, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, has officially hit theatres today (October 21), coinciding with the release of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s horror-comedy Thamma. As fans flock to cinemas for the first day, reactions to both films have already started trending on social media platform X.
About the Film
Directed by Milap Zaveri, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat tells the story of Vikramaditya (Harshvardhan Rane), a passionate artist, and Adaa (Sonam Bajwa), a free-spirited woman with a unique perspective on love. The film delves into themes of romance, obsession, emotional turmoil, and the fragile balance between love and madness.
Audience Reactions
Initial reactions to the film have been mixed. While some viewers appreciated certain aspects, many were critical of the film’s writing and direction. One viewer remarked, “More serial than cinema. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat really felt like 1000 episodes packed into 2 hours. #DeewanekiDeewaniyat.” Another added, “The first 10-15 minutes of #EkDeewaneKiDEEWAANIYAT are completely over-the-top with cringe-worthy dialogues. That Sonam Bajwa song didn’t help either.”

Despite the criticism, others found merit in the film’s music and performances. One review stated, “#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat’s music is its biggest strength. The second half is somewhat better after a very weak start. Harshvardhan and Sonam are decent, though at times their performances feel exaggerated due to the poor writing and direction.”
Another viewer shared, “First half: only 2-3 impactful scenes. The rest is filled with over-the-top moments, average acting, and awkward dialogues. So far, only one song — Mera Hua — stood out. The writing is messy, and direction leans heavily on mass appeal. 1.5/5 so far.”
On a more positive note, some fans appreciated the film’s emotional depth and intense narrative. “The movie is all about intensity and emotional depth. A blend of pain and obsession, with music at its core. #HarshvardhanRane and #SonamBajwa deliver powerful performances filled with emotion. A solid comeback for Harsh. It’s a bit slow but worth a watch,” said one viewer.
Another added, “Rating: One-time watch. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat attempts to be an intense musical love story but comes off as overly dramatic and somewhat predictable. The first half and the interval work well, but the second half drags. While some emotional scenes and songs stand out, the dialogue is hit-or-miss—some work, while others sound like shayari from Instagram reels. Harshvardhan and Sonam share good chemistry.”

Box Office Outlook
The film has opened to a modest but steady start at the box office. However, it faces tough competition from Thamma, which could affect its overall performance in the coming days.
