Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat's Box Office Journey
"Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat," starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, has made a steady mark at the box office since its release on October 21, 2025. The romantic drama, directed by Milap Zaveri, has garnered mixed reviews but seems to have resonated well with audiences, particularly in smaller cities.
Day-wise Collection and Overall Performance
The film opened with ₹9 crore on its first day. However, the collections saw a slight dip in the following days, earning ₹7.75 crore on Wednesday, ₹6 crore on Thursday, and ₹5.5 crore on Friday. On its first Saturday (day five), the film saw a slight jump, collecting ₹8.76 crore and taking its total to ₹37.01 crore.
Early estimates for the fifth day placed the collection around ₹5.75 crore, bringing the total domestic net collection to approximately ₹34 crore. However, later updates suggest a more significant jump on Saturday, with collections possibly reaching ₹9-9.5 crore, pushing the total to around ₹39.5-40 crore. Some reports even suggest the film could touch or get close to ₹50 crore by the end of its first Sunday.
Comparison with "Thamma"
This Diwali season witnessed a box office clash between "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat" and "Thamma," starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. While both films have drawn audiences, "Thamma" has taken the lead in the race. "Thamma" opened strongly, collecting ₹24 crore on its first day, and its total collection after five days is approximately ₹78.6 crore.
Despite "Thamma's" dominance, "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat" is holding its own. Made on a budget of ₹25 crore, the film has already recovered its costs and is now turning profitable. Moreover, "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat" is outperforming Dharma Productions' "Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari," which has collected ₹33.25 crore in five days.
