Despite facing a massive clash, Milap Zaveri’s film maintains an excellent hold, adding another ₹6 crore to its impressive three-day total of ₹22.75 Cr.
October 24, 2025: Milap Zaveri’s romantic drama, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, has made a striking impact at the box office, opening with a bang during the Diwali festivities and maintaining strong collections as it enters its first weekend.
Starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in the lead roles, the film has emerged as a notable success story, holding its own despite facing stiff competition from the much-anticipated release, Thamma.
According to trade reports from Sacnilk, the film, which was initially titled Deewaniyat, earned a solid ₹6 crore on its third day, Thursday. This performance takes its total domestic collection to an impressive ₹22.75 crore net.
This performance is considered an outstanding achievement for a film that does not rely on major star power and has had to compete for screens nationwide against the Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna starrer, Thamma. The strong numbers indicate that the emotional, musical love story has resonated well with the target audience.
Strong Audience Footfall
The romantic drama recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 25.14% on Thursday. The audience turnout demonstrated a clear upward trend throughout the day:
- Morning shows: 9.99% occupancy
- Afternoon shows: 27.71% occupancy
- Evening shows: 30.89% occupancy
- Night shows: The highest at 31.98% occupancy
The peak footfall during the evening and night shows suggests strong word-of-mouth is propelling the film’s success, encouraging audiences to catch the film after the initial holiday rush.
Plot and Cast Details
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is an intense saga of love that spirals into obsession. The story centers on Vikramaditya (Harshvardhan Rane), a passionate artist whose deep affection for the free-spirited Adaa (Sonam Bajwa) gradually turns obsessive as his insecurities consume him.
Adaa views love as liberation, while Vikramaditya’s infatuation deepens, leading to tragedy and deceit. The film is described as a poignant exploration of desire, ego, and the thin line between loyalty and madness, set against a backdrop of music and heartbreak.
The film’s supporting cast includes notable actors such as Shaad Randhawa, Sachin Khedekar, and Ananth Narayan Mahadevan. Directed by Milap Zaveri, the film has successfully cemented its position as a surprise box office performer this Diwali season.
