The craze for Harshvardhan Rane continues to grow from strength to strength, and after the cult success of Sanam Teri Kasam re-release earlier this year, fans are eagerly awaiting his next big release. Securing a Diwali release slot—typically reserved for event blockbusters and superstar-led projects—highlights just how high the anticipation is for this musical drama.

The film also brings Sonam Bajwa to the big screen in a striking new avatar, pairing her opposite Harshvardhan Rane for the first time. Their fiery chemistry is already evident in the first look poster, igniting anticipation for a festive release that promises music, passion, and drama in equal measure.

Story:
Vikram Aditya Bhosle (Harshvardhan Rane) falls deeply for Adaa Randhawa (Sonam Bajwa), but his love soon spirals into obsession. Consumed by passion, he faces only her hatred in return. As emotions clash and tempers rise, the question remains—will Adaa ever soften, or is this love doomed from the start?
Review:
In a cinematic landscape filled with love stories that swing between intensity and obsession, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (EDKD) attempts to revive the old-school passion of 90s romance dramas. Director Milap Milan Zaveri, co-writing with Mushtaq Shiekh, delivers a film that is as dramatic as it is familiar—a love story that thrives on high emotions, heavy dialogues, and soulful music, but also one that struggles to escape its clichés.
The story revolves around Vikram Aditya Bhosle (Rane), a fiery young politician contesting for the Chief Minister’s post. When he meets superstar Adaa Randhawa (Bajwa), his life takes a wild turn. Love at first sight transforms into an all-consuming obsession, as Aditya’s desire to have Adaa “by hook or by crook” drives the narrative. The film begins on an intriguing note, with a nostalgic 90s vibe and vibrant Mumbai setting, but it soon slips into predictable territory.
The first half, despite being visually appealing, feels sluggish and dated. Aditya’s pursuit of Adaa lacks nuance, echoing tropes we’ve seen countless times before. It’s only around the interval that the story gathers momentum, particularly during Adaa’s rally scene—though her sudden, almost absurd bet with the nation feels jarringly out of place. Still, Zaveri deserves credit for staging moments that recall the emotional earnestness of older Bollywood romances, even if the execution occasionally falters.
What keeps EDKD from collapsing under its melodrama are its two leads. Harshvardhan Rane brings intensity and conviction to Aditya. His brooding eyes, muscular presence, and emotional vulnerability create a believable portrait of a man torn between love and madness. At times, it feels like Rane has walked straight out of Sanam Teri Kasam (2016), but his effort here is commendable. Sonam Bajwa complements him beautifully as Adaa—a woman both alluring and strong-willed. She balances charm with restraint, letting her eyes express what words cannot. Together, they make for an engaging, if uneven, on-screen pair.
Among the supporting cast, Shaad Randhawa impresses as Aditya’s loyal aide, while Sachin Khedekar—playing Aditya’s father and a retired politician—starts strong but is soon reduced to a background figure. The film’s writing focuses so heavily on the central couple that it sidelines every other character, which weakens the emotional texture of the narrative.
The dialogues, though weighty—like
“Agar zameer sone na de toh bank mein neend khareedne ka balance hona chahiye” or “Main woh Ravana hoon jo Sita ko khud ghar chodke aayega”
—don’t quite land as impactful or memorable. However, the film’s biggest strength lies in its music. Vishal Mishra, along with Kaushik-Guddu and Kunaal Vermaa, crafts a melodious soundtrack that carries the story’s emotional weight. The title track “Deewaniyat” and Sonam’s glamorous entry number “Dil Dil Dil” are especially noteworthy and already chart-toppers.
On the whole, EDKD strives to rekindle a bygone era of love—one where intensity often overshadowed logic and passion flirted with obsession. Much like Saiyaara, it doesn’t venture into new territory, yet it finds its footing with those who still cherish melodrama laced with nostalgia. For audiences drawn to raw emotion, vintage-style romance, and the smouldering chemistry of two charismatic leads, the film offers moments worth holding onto. But for others, it remains a one-time watch to revive memories of the bygone era.
