Milap Zaveri’s much-anticipated romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat finally hit theatres on Diwali, October 21, clashing directly with Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Despite the box office competition, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has managed to capture audience attention, particularly for the passionate on-screen pairing of Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa.
The film, which blends themes of love, obsession, and pain, marks a bold move in Bollywood by receiving an ‘A’ certificate from the censor board—making it the first adults-only romantic film in nearly two decades. Its bold narrative and emotional depth have sparked conversations online, with netizens taking to social media to share their reviews.
Early X Reactions: A Blend of Praise and Critique
A large section of Twitter users praised the film for its intense emotional core and standout performances. One user wrote:
“#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat Review (4.5/5)
A film straight from the heart — a blend of love, pain, and obsession that leaves a lasting mark.
#HarshvardhanRane delivers a deeply intense performance, while #SonamBajwa shines with grace and emotion.
The music already had people hooked — every track adds soul to the story… For true romantics who believe in passion that burns beyond logic.*”
Yet, not all reviews were glowing. Some viewers pointed out pacing issues and criticised certain elements of the script. One tweet read:
“First half = Only 2–3 scenes are impactful. Over-the-top sequences, cringe dialogues, and mid acting. Only one song so far — ‘Mera Hua’, which was decent. The writing is a big mess. Direction — well, the director is mass-oriented.”
Others appreciated the emotional tone but noted it wasn’t flawless:
“Film is all about intensity & depth. A blend of pain & obsession. Music is the heart of this movie. #HarshvardhanRane & #SonamBajwa shine with hardcore emotion throughout. Stellar comeback for Harsh. A bit slow but a good movie.
Ratings – 3.25/5.”
