"Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat," starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, has been released this Diwali week, opening to mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike. The film, which blends themes of love, obsession, and pain, has sparked conversations online, with netizens taking to social media to share their opinions.
Some viewers have praised the film for its emotional depth, music, and the lead actors' chemistry. Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's performances have been highlighted as strong points, with many appreciating the heartfelt emotions they brought to their roles. The music has also been lauded as a standout aspect, adding depth to the story. The chemistry between the lead pair has been widely acknowledged, with fans noting that Harshvardhan and Sonam shared genuine moments on screen, which helped carry the emotional weight of the narrative.
However, others have criticized the film's melodrama, pacing, and writing. Some viewers found the dialogues, at times poetic or shayari-style, didn't land well and felt overdone. Others observed that while the first half was engaging, the second half could have been tighter, as certain scenes felt stretched. Some have pointed out the film feels like it's stuck in the 90s, reminiscent of Emraan Hashmi and Dia Mirza eras, but now feels a little cliché.
The film has also garnered attention for receiving an 'A' certificate from the censor board, making it the first adults-only romantic film in nearly two decades. This bold move has sparked further discussion about the film's narrative and emotional depth.
Despite the mixed reviews, some viewers have called the movie one of the best films of the year, praising the heartfelt performances of Harshvardhan and Sonam and highlighting how the emotional moments resonated strongly. Others appreciated the emotional tone but noted it wasn't flawless, describing it as a blend of pain and obsession.
Overall, "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat" has left a mark, even as opinions remain divided. The film's mixture of strong music, emotional sequences, and the debut pairing of its leads has resonated with some, while others have found its melodrama and pacing to be weak. Some have praised the film as essential viewing for the festive period.
