So, as soon as I walked into an almost-packed theater on a post-Diwali morning to watch Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in a romantic drama, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, I did not know that I would walk out feeling the pangs of anxiety I used to have while dealing with toxicity in a relationship. But like any toxic relationship, this film will not make you realize that it is prime-level toxic unless you have been there and lived any kind of toxicity in a romantic relationship, confusing it for love. There, I said that!

Coming back to the film, it definitely should not and would not qualify as a romantic drama! In fact, let us call it anything other than romance. The premise is simple: a filthy rich, powerful boy who thinks he can buy the world. A super stunning, glamorous diva, who wanted to become an artist (actress, to be precise) but turns into a star, and tells this very sadly to our hero, who is head over heels in love with another after having a glimpse of the actor!

Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat Movie Review: Script Analysis

I mean, we are in 2025, and men falling in love just with a jhalak of a woman is so superficial that I would not want to call it anything except for lust! Yes, that is what our heroine tells the hero as well, but it took her an eternity to explain. Coming back again to the plot of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa try to sell this bizarre story with three things – good looks, good looks, and good looks!

Just when I thought that we had left the obsession of toxic love stories in the 90s and the 2000s, and we no longer think that Kundan from Raanjhana or Maddy from RHTDM was a hero, we try to understand that Geet in Jab We Met was more problematic than her boyfriend Anshuman. Now, before you think I am a hater of romance, let me break this to you – NO, Not at all. In fact, I am such a hopeless romantic that I would root for love even after having the most heartbreaking heartbreak! But here’s the thing, logic and sense are basic necessities, and when we say, Pyaar mein hosh kho gaya, let us mean it poetically, not realistically!

Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat Movie Review: Star Performance

Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, despite the flaws, look effortlessly good, and I would blame their chemistry that Gen-Z would be so impressed with them that they would try relating to the character and the movie, which is scary and problematic on another level. I mean, this film should go seek a therapist rather than justifying romance and emotions in a nonsensical way! Moreover, the songs add fuel to the fire. I mean, all of us know music is a therapy and it heals, but no, let us not use it to heal such a problematic red flag story!
