Reception
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat received generally negative reviews from critics.[13]
Bollywood Hungama rated it 3.5/5 stars and said that "On the whole, EK DEEWANE KI DEEWANIYAT is unapologetically massy and fiercely passionate, backed by solid performances and thumping music."[14] Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "A visually pleasing but formulaic romantic drama lifted by Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s performances and a soulful soundtrack. Watch it for the emotions, not for novelty."[15] Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times rated it 1.5/5 stars and wrote "The whole point of the film is to end up as an Instagram reel for jilted lovers to clip and plaster across their feeds."[16]
Rachit Gupta of Filmfare rated it 2.5/5 stars and said that "Harshvardhan Rane leads from the front in Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which starts off interestingly, but eventually fizzles out in massy masala movie territory."[17] Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "The most lenient thing that can be said about this romantic saga is that it gives Rane a platform he always yearned for. But the film that he has chosen or that chose him feels 30 years too late despite the success of obsessive (read obnoxious) lovers like Kabir Singh and Kundan."[18]
Nishad Thaivalappil of News 18 gave 1.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Through the whole film, you only feel bad for three people — Anant Mahadevan, Sachin Khedekar and YOURSELF! Why have they done the film and why are you doing this to yourself! To sum it up, the film is the only thing you need to burst out of the big screen this Diwali".[19] Sana Farzeen of India Today rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "The only reason the film is bearable is because of how sincere both actors are in their performances. Harshvardhan Rane seems to have read the memo well; he has found his niche with these brooding lover characters. Sonam Bajwa, on the other hand, looks stunning and pulls off the part strong-part vulnerable woman quite well."[20]
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 1 stars out of 5 and said that "Bollywood refuses to deep-six the deeply regressive misogynistic toxicity, cementing the dangerous idea that one-sided obsession is a perfectly legitimate emotion. Whatever happened to No means No?.[21] Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India observed that "Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa star in the most casually offensive Hindi film of the year."[22]
Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in writes in his review that "The 140-minute film, written by Zaveri and Mushtaq Shiekh, has scenes in excruciating slow motion and songs with the usual doom-and-gloom lyrics. The general feeling is of being trapped in a small elevator during a lengthy power cut."[23]
