Mumbai: Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s romantic drama ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ opened to mixed reviews on October 21.
A section of users praised the actors’ performance and the storyline, while others called it a ‘one-time watch.’
“#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat Movie Review: Rating – One Time Watchable. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat 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 a few emotional moments stand out, though some of the dialogues — especially the shayari-style ones — come off as cringe, like Instagram reels. Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s chemistry, however, is quite good,” read the review of one user.
Another X user shared, “#Ekdeewanekideewaniyat This is a good movie, I have seen it, it is a great movie, you must go and watch it. Both the songs and the story of this film are good, you can watch it. Good movie (sic).”
One review read, “#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat Music is its USP. Its genuinely good. 2nd half is a slight improvement after a very weak first half. Harsh is decent and so is Sonam but they do overdo sometimes due to very weak writing and direction. At least the MUSIC was good.”
Another person wrote after watching the movie: “More serial than cinema. Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat really said 1000 episodes in 2 hours.”
Despite clashing with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandana’s ‘Thamma’, the film managed to mint around Rs 6 to 8 crore on its opening day.
A per reports, ‘Thamma’ has been allocated many more screens and show slots in multiplexes compared to Rane’s film.
Directed and written by Milap Zaveri, the film has been produced under the banner Desi Movies Factory.
