Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Day 2 Box Office: Harshvardhan Rane–Sonam Bajwa’s Romantic Drama Nears ₹15 Cr Despite Thamma Clash (Pc: X)
The romantic-drama film starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’, emerged as the dark horse of the Diwali weekend, showing great box office strength against the mega-budget horror comedy ‘Thamma’. Early estimates for the second day suggest the film is holding extremely strong, which will take the two-day domestic net gross upwards of ₹15 crore, sealing the unconventional pairing’s commercial success.
All this comes despite the Milap Zaveri-directed film getting mixed-to-negative critical reviews, showing that good music and emotional appeals can triumph over poor reviews. The above mains have great traction among Tier-2 and Tier-3 centers during festivities and have the benefit of word of mouth.
Though the fierce competition at the box office has left the audience divided, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ has managed to find a place of its own. The film reportedly netted a total of ₹8.50 crore on its opening day, effectively a double-digit start for a film that was outscreamed by its rival.
The same momentum carried through on Day 2, a working day, with the film sustaining a very good collection estimate of about ₹6.50 to ₹7.50 crores taking the running total close to ₹15 crores.
These trends suggest that the film has found willing audiences in the intense romance genre, especially in light of the new interest being generated in Harshvardhan Rane after the re-release of his debut hit.
A clash between ‘Thamma’ and ‘Deewaniyat’ showcased the divisions in audience choices. ‘Thamma’ was supported heavily by a known franchise along with a major star, thereby taking a lion’s share of the multiplex as well as family audiences.
On the other hand, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ targeted single screens and youth-centric viewership. The film leverages an unexplored aspect by being unapologetically melodramatic and having chart-busting music as well as very good on-screen chemistry between Rane and Bajwa among its strong points to tap the audience.
The movie is now reputed to cross its original lifetime estimates during its long opening weekend, which suggests that even within the backdrop of a very crowded festive window, unique content can find its audience and earn significant revenues.
