The romantic thriller ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ premiered on October 21, immediately sparking a wave of diverse opinions across social media. The film, which explores an obsessive love story starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, has already divided audiences with its intense narrative. Netizens have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to share their initial reactions, painting a picture of sharply contrasting views.
Many early viewers expressed significant disappointment. One user, reviewing the first half, rated it 1.5 out of 5, highlighting “over the top sequences, cringe dialogues and mid acting.” They found only two or three scenes impactful, noted just one decent song, “Mera Hua,” and broadly criticized the writing as “a big mess,” attributing the directorial style to a “mass oriented” approach.

In stark contrast, a significant portion of the audience lauded the film as a groundbreaking cinematic achievement. One enthusiastic fan declared that director Milap Zaveri had “created history,” calling it a “fantastic mind blowing film” that would make viewers “forget Sanam Teri Kasam.” This viewer also praised actor Shan Randhawa, calling him “lajawab” (superb).
