"Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat": Love or Obsession, What Awaits the Lead Pair?

This upcoming Diwali, 2025, Bollywood is all set to witness the release of another highly anticipated romantic drama, "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat". The film is directed by the popular filmmaker Milap Zaveri, known for his action and drama flicks like 'Satyameva Jayate' and 'Marjaavaan'. This time, however, he returns to his favourite romantic genre, but not without his signature style-powerful dialogues and intense emotions.

The film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, a popular actress from the Punjabi film industry, in the lead roles. The audience is eagerly awaiting this fresh pairing's debut on the big screen.

From Love to Obsession: A Glimpse into the Story

'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' is essentially an intense tale of love, passion, and obsession. The film's trailer makes it clear that this is no ordinary love story. It explores a love that crosses boundaries and eventually transforms into a deep fixation.

In the trailer, Harshvardhan Rane is seen as an intense lover whose passion creates a storm in his beloved's life. His emotions reach a level where they become overbearing. Sonam Bajwa, on the other hand, is seen grappling with the intensity of this love and its repercussions. A dialogue from the trailer, spoken by Harshvardhan’s character, states, "Tujhse mohabbat karna aye sanam, meri zarurat hai. Aur ye tere is badnasib deewane ki deewaniyat hai (To love you, my beloved, is my need. And this is the obsession of your unfortunate lover)," which highlights the central conflict of the film.

Another impactful dialogue has Harshvardhan's character comparing himself to 'Raavan', saying, "Iss Diwali, itihaas mein pehli baar Raavan khud Sita ko ghar chhodkar aayega (This Diwali, for the first time in history, Raavan himself will drop Sita home)." This line adds gravity to the film's narrative, suggesting a complex blend of love, possessiveness, and potentially a tragic outcome, rather than a simple romance. The film promises a mix of intense romanticism and high drama, a hallmark of Milap Zaveri's writing and direction.

Cast, Crew, and Music

While Milap Zaveri is the director, the film's screenplay has been jointly penned by him and Mushtaq Sheikh. Nigam Bomzan handles the cinematography, and Maahir Zaveri is the editor.

Music plays a vital role in romantic dramas of this nature, and 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' seems to hold a special attraction for music lovers. Glimpses of melodious songs like 'Mera Hua' and 'Bol Kaffara Kya Hoga' have already been featured in the trailer, resonating well with the audience. The music is composed by artists like Kaushik-Guddu, Rajat Nagpal, Annkur R Pathakk, Rahul Mishra, and DJ Chetas. The playback singers include popular names such as Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Arijit Singh, Jubin Nautiyal, and many others.

Release Date

The film was initially scheduled to be released on October 2, 2025, but the makers later decided to push it for the auspicious occasion of Diwali. Accordingly, 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' is now set for a theatrical release on October 21, 2025.

Intense, passionate love stories once held a significant place in Bollywood cinema. Amidst the current trend of comedy and action genres, such 'hard-hitting' romantic dramas are somewhat rare. The chemistry between the new pairing of Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, combined with Milap Zaveri’s punchy direction, has generated considerable curiosity among the audience. The film particularly appeals to viewers who enjoy stories exploring the dark and complex side of obsessive love. Overall, this film is poised to redefine the meaning of love this Diwali season.
