Milap Zaveri’s latest romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat hits theatres this Diwali, bringing with it a whirlwind of passion, heartbreak, obsession—and controversy. With Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in the lead, the film is a classic case of style over substance, where the emotions run high but the storytelling falls short.
Plot: In this haunting tale of love and obsession, Vikramaditya, a driven politician, falls for Adaa, a free-spirited woman who views love as liberation. Their passionate romance spirals into darkness as his affection turns possessive and insecurities take hold. Set against a poignant backdrop of music and memories, the film explores the fine line between devotion and madness, revealing how love’s intensity can both uplift and destroy.
Performances: Harshvardhan Rane does the job and brings his best. Sonam Bajwa does well, but the decision to keep her in a box of unyielding seriousness limits her impact.
Direction & Music: Milap Zaveri’s direction is the weak link — promising setup, but lack of innovation and excess melodrama. The film’s strong audio‑visual element is the music, which stands out amid the other, weaker components.
Watch it if:
- You’re a fan of Harshvardhan Rane or Sonam Bajwa.
- You enjoy passionate, over-the-top Bollywood romances.
- You’re in the mood for a good soundtrack
Skip it if:
- You expect fresh, respectful, or realistic portrayals of relationships.
- You dislike melodrama or obsession-driven plots.
- You’re sensitive to regressive or toxic romantic tropes
Final Words: Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a glossy, well-acted romantic drama that tries to channel the emotional intensity of classics like Devdas or Kabir Singh, but ultimately collapses under the weight of its clichés and toxic messaging.
It may find an audience among die-hard romantics who enjoy love stories with dramatic flair and sweeping music—but for viewers looking for progressive storytelling or respectful romantic arcs, this one misses the mark.
