Released on October 21, 2025, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a Hindi romantic drama that tries to bring back the intense love stories of old Bollywood films. Directed by Milap Milan Zaveri and written with Mushtaq Shiekh, it stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, with actors like Sachin Khedekar and Shaad Randhawa in supporting roles. This Diwali release is full of passion and drama but has some problems that stop it from being great. Here’s a simple review of the movie, covering its story, acting, music, and more.
What’s the Story?
The movie follows Vikramaditya Bhonsle (Harshvardhan Rane), a powerful politician who always gets what he wants. His life changes when he meets Adaa Randhawa (Sonam Bajwa), a famous actress with a lively spirit. Vikram falls in love with her instantly, but when Adaa says no to his marriage proposal, his love turns into an unhealthy obsession. This leads to a lot of drama, some surprising twists, and emotional moments. The story, set in Mumbai, mixes politics and Bollywood glamour, showing how love can sometimes become too much.
The Acting
Harshvardhan Rane does a great job as Vikramaditya. He shows the character’s love and pain clearly, making you feel for him even when he makes bad choices. Sonam Bajwa is strong as Adaa, playing a woman who is both soft and tough. Their scenes together are emotional and keep you watching. However, the other actors, like Sachin Khedekar and Shaad Randhawa, don’t get much to do. Their roles feel small and don’t add much to the story.
Direction and Writing
Director Milap Milan Zaveri loves big, dramatic moments, and this movie has plenty of them. The visuals, shot by cinematographer Nigam Bomzan, show Mumbai’s beauty and energy. But the story, written by Zaveri and Mushtaq Shiekh, feels old-fashioned at times, like it belongs to the 90s. Some parts, especially in the second half, are hard to believe, like when Adaa challenges Vikram in a big, dramatic way. The dialogues try to be powerful but sometimes sound silly or overdone, like something you’d see in short social media videos. The movie is also a bit too long at 141 minutes, and some scenes feel slow.
The Music
The songs are a big highlight. Composed by Kunaal Vermaa, Kaushik-Guddu, Rajat Nagpal, Annkur R Pathakk, Rahul Mishra, and DJ Chetas, the music is emotional and catchy. Tracks like “Deewaniyat” (sung by Vishal Mishra) and “Bol Kaffara Kya Hoga” (Neha Kakkar and Farhan Sabri) touch your heart and fit the story’s mood. There’s also a remake of “Dil Dil Dil,” which feels nostalgic but doesn’t always match the scene. The lyrics, written by Kunaal Vermaa, Sameer Anjaan, and others, are heartfelt and add to the movie’s emotions.
What’s Good and What’s Not
The best parts of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat are the lead actors and the music. Harshvardhan and Sonam make you care about their characters, and the songs stay with you. The movie’s energy and big moments will appeal to people who love dramatic love stories. But it has problems too. The story feels old and uses ideas we’ve seen before in movies like Tere Naam. Some parts are too dramatic or don’t make sense, and the supporting characters aren’t interesting. The movie’s adult rating (A-certificate) might also keep some families from watching it.
How’s It Doing?
The movie came out with another film, Thamma, a horror-comedy, so it’s facing tough competition. It earned about Rs 6–8 crore on its first day, and its success depends on whether people like it over time. Critics have mixed opinions, giving it 1.5/5 (Hindustan Times) to 3.5/5 (Bollywood Hungama). On social media, fans say it’s a fun one-time watch, loving the music and chemistry but not the story’s weak parts. Fewer screens because of Thamma might affect its earnings.

Final Review
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a movie with a lot of heart but some big flaws. Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa shine, and the music is beautiful, but the story feels old and sometimes silly. It’s a good watch if you love emotional dramas and don’t mind over-the-top moments. However, if you want something new or realistic, it might not be for you. Go for the songs and the leads, but don’t expect a perfect film.
Rating: 2.5/5
