Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review delivers a harsh truth, Bollywood just won’t let go of its toxic love stories. Released this Diwali 2025,Harshvardhan Rane film starring Sonam Bajwa tries selling stalking as romance, making you wonder if filmmakers missed the entire conversation about consent that’s been happening for years.

Director Milap Zaveri’s latest project packages harassment as intense passion, creating a hero whose obsession makes even Darr’s Shah Rukh Khan look reasonable. Every Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review points toward one question, why are we still making movies like this in 2025?

The Plot: Obsession Dressed as Romance

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review follows Vikramaditya Bhonsle, a politician’s entitled son played by Harshvardhan Rane, whose philosophy centers on getting whatever he wants.

He spots actress Adaa Randhawa (Sonam Bajwa) at a red carpet event, their hands accidentally touch, and boom, he decides she’s his soulmate despite her obvious lack of interest.

What happens next basically violates every boundary you can imagine:

  • Shows up everywhere she goes uninvited
  • Ignores her saying “no” repeatedly
  • Uses political connections to corner her
  • Pressures her family until they crack
  • Treats rejection as something to overcome

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review consensus agrees, this isn’t romance, it’s a textbook definition of harassment wrapped in melodramatic dialogues.

Harshvardhan Rane Gives His All

Harshvardhan Rane fully immerses himself in his role, sobbing through most scenes and capturing the most gripping, frightening instances with great passion and enthusiasm. His performance shows genuine conviction when reciting lines about crossing limits for love and drowning in obsession.

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review acknowledges Harshvardhan Rane brings strong acting to the table. He perfectly embodies the attitude and poise of a powerful man who has never been told “no” and has never known the word “no,” which, sadly, exacerbates the deeply disturbing qualities of his character.

Harshvardhan Rane had the best opening of his career with Rs 8-9 crore on the first day, proving his fans did come for him.

Sonam Bajwa Fights Back

Sonam Bajwa plays Adaa as someone deeply uncomfortable with Vikramaditya’s behavior. She is unhappy and shows it, rather than coy or secretly flattered in a way.

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review captures how film and Bajwa portray real fear and frustration when someone doesn’t respect boundaries, and is most disturbing to an audience.

Her character even takes a drastic step before the interval to escape this situation, something critics called so awkward that audiences wanted to walk out.

The Fake Redemption Problem

The most frustrating part of this Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review? After 140 minutes of ignoring consent, Vikramaditya suddenly transforms in the final moments. The character who harasses a woman for the whole film, and then suddenly turns into a preachy woman about the harassment in the film, emotionally abusive. This sudden shift feels like screen-writing has merely a lazy attempt at tying up the loose ends.

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review does not hide the last minute moralizing, which does not erase the two hours of problematic behavior presented as romantic, is a cop-out. The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review does acknowledge some positives. Sachin-Jigar’s music slaps hard, with several songs trending before release. “Deewaniyat” particularly resonated with listeners.

Cinematography captures Mumbai beautifully, with colorful retro-themed videos, solid choreography. These technical aspects offer the film’s only redeeming qualities beyond performances.

Critics and Audiences React

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review reception remains largely negative despite decent opening numbers. Critics handed out ratings between 1.5 to 2.5 stars, expressing disappointment that such regressive content would be released in 2025. Indian Express called it a revival of “misogynistic toxicity” while others dismissed it as “Instagram reel material for jilted lovers”. The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review from multiple outlets notes the film feels decades too late.

This Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review ultimately reveals strong performances and good music wrapped around deeply troubling messaging. When society increasingly discusses consent and respect, this film resurrects toxic tropes that should stay dead. Harshvardhan Rane deserves credit for his commitment, and the technical team delivers quality work. But no amount of talent saves a story romanticizing harassment and presenting stalking as acceptable courtship.

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review serves as a reminder that Bollywood needs to evolve past glorifying obsession as love. Until filmmakers understand that persistence without consent equals harassment, movies like this will keep spreading dangerous ideas about relationships. For those seeking nostalgic ’90s-style obsessive romance, the film delivers exactly that, which is precisely why it fails according to this Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Movie Review.
