Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Opens to a Passionate Start
Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s new romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat seems to have struck the right emotional chord with audiences. Released on October 21, the film pulled in ₹8.5 crore on Day 1, marking Rane’s biggest opening so far.
Despite a festive weekend clash with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thamma, the film managed to hold its ground, thanks to strong word-of-mouth and the Diwali holiday crowd.
Strong Occupancy Across India
Trade reports show that Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 39.51% on its opening day. The buzz picked up steadily through the day — from 19.76% in the morning to a solid 47.16% during evening shows.
Cities like Bengaluru (58.75%), Chennai and Lucknow (56%), Mumbai (37%), and Delhi-NCR (45%) saw the highest turnout. This consistent growth through the day signals strong audience curiosity and decent pre-release hype.

“It’s not a subtle love story—it’s a spectacle for those who revel in fiery confrontations and music that lingers after the credits. Despite some dragged moments, strong performances and stunning visuals make it worth watching.”
So far, the film is getting mixed-to-positive reviews, with critics acknowledging its mass appeal and visual flair, even if the plot feels a bit predictable in parts.
