Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, continues its impressive theatrical run after debuting on October 21, 2025. The film, which explores the turbulent love between passionate artist Vikramaditya Bhonsle (Rane) and free-spirited Adaa (Bajwa), blending devotion with obsession, has steadily built momentum through strong word-of-mouth. Despite a high-profile box office clash with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma, the underdog romance is now on the cusp of entering the Rs 50 crore club domestically.
On its first Monday (October 27), Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat raked in Rs 3.35 crore net, according to early estimates from Sacnilk, pushing its seven-day total to an estimated Rs 42.56 crore. The weekend provided a solid boost, with Rs 6.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.75 crore on Sunday, reflecting growing audience appreciation in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities where emotionally intense dramas like this resonate deeply. This performance is particularly notable given the film's modest budget compared to its rival, positioning it as a potential sleeper hit in the festive season lineup.
Hindi occupancy on Day 7 clocked in at 15.91%, with night shows leading at 24.14%, followed by afternoon (19.10%), evening (18.45%), and morning (10.19%) slots. The surge in evening and night screenings highlights young audiences flocking for the film's raw portrayal of love's darker edges, echoing successes like Saiyaara and the re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam.

In contrast, Thamma—a high-octane actioner—dominated with Rs 4.3 crore on its first Monday, crossing Rs 50 crore in three days and reaching Rs 95.6 crore domestically so far, eyeing the Rs 100 crore milestone. Though Thamma secured nearly three times more screens, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat's resilience—opening at Rs 9 crore on Day 1 and holding steady—signals a victory for content-driven stories over star power alone.
Off-screen, Rane has been vocal about Bajwa's talent, telling Filmfare, "She's sitting on a mountain of untapped potential. She's an earnest artist, a refined human, and a deeply connected person. She's going to be respected more now, not just as an A-grade commercial heroine, but also as a top-notch actor who can hold the scene even with silence, just by the power of her eyes." As the film inches toward Rs 50 crore, it not only boosts the leads' careers but also reaffirms the appetite for nuanced romances amid Bollywood's blockbuster frenzy.
