This Diwali, love truly took center stage as Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat opened in cinemas across India. The romantic drama, featuring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, has struck a beautiful chord with the audience. Amidst the celebratory season and fireworks of multiple releases, the soulful saga EDKD managed to make its own mark at the box office.
Despite facing a massive clash with Thamma, the latest film from the Maddock Horror Cinematic Universe, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat didn’t shy away. Instead, it embraced the competition with confidence and passion — and the results speak for themselves.
The film’s emotional depth, relatable love story, and mesmerizing music have become instant crowd favorites. From Deewaniyat to Bol Kaffara, every song adds soul to the film’s narrative, making it more than just a romantic entertainer — it’s a heartfelt experience.
EDKD: The Power Of Emotion, Music, And Madness
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is more than a film — it’s an emotion. Directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, the film dives into themes of love, longing, and redemption, reminding us of the kind of passionate cinema that once defined Bollywood.
Harshvardhan Rane delivers a career-best performance, portraying his role with raw intensity and vulnerability. Sonam Bajwa, on the other hand, brings warmth and grace, creating magic whenever she appears on screen. Their chemistry is pure, heartfelt, and deeply moving — something audiences have been yearning to see.
Interestingly, the film’s biggest support came from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where audience turnout remained strong throughout the day. Word-of-mouth is highly positive, and that’s already showing in its evening and night show occupancy.

After an impressive advance booking trend, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (EDKD) surprised trade experts by pulling off a strong double-digit opening day number — a rare feat for a romantic drama in today’s times.
Day 1 [Tuesday]: ₹10.10 crore (India nett)
This makes it the biggest opener of Harshvardhan Rane’s career — a clear testament to the growing love he’s receiving from the audience. What makes this even more special is that the film achieved these numbers with limited screens and show counts, given the competition from Thamma.
The festive vibes of Diwali, emotional storytelling, and powerful word-of-mouth are helping EDKD build a strong foundation for the days ahead.
The Road Ahead: A Promising Journey Of Love
The journey of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has just begun. With positive audience feedback, high repeat value, and strong engagement across social media, the film is poised to hold well through the weekend.
While Thamma may have captured the metro crowd, EDKD has found its audience in smaller cities and family circuits — a segment that sustains romantic dramas over time.
The coming days, especially the weekend, will be crucial. If the upward trend continues, this could easily turn into one of the most successful romantic dramas of the year.
As Milap Milan Zaveri mentioned in an interview, “Love never goes out of style.” And looking at these numbers, it seems like the audience agrees wholeheartedly.
The passion, pain, and purity of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat have just started echoing through theaters — and it’s safe to say, this Deewaniyat Ki Diwali will be remembered for a long time.
