The box office has a new champion, and it's a romantic whirlwind! Harshvardhan Rane's latest film, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, has taken the Indian cinema world by storm, breaking records left and right. But here's the twist: it's not just another blockbuster; it's a game-changer for the actor's career.
On its second day, the film raked in an impressive 7.50-8.50 crores, despite being a regular working day post-Diwali. This comes as a surprise to many, as the industry often sees a drop in numbers after the festive boost. But Milap Zaveri's direction proved its mettle, maintaining a strong hold with only a 19-28% dip in earnings.
With a total collection of 17.60-18.60 crores in just two days, this film is on a remarkable journey. Especially considering its modest budget of 25 crores, it's set to be one of the most profitable romantic dramas of the year. And this success couldn't have come at a better time, as it follows the footsteps of another romantic hit, Saiyaara, proving that love stories are the flavor of the season.
But here's where it gets controversial—is this truly Harshvardhan Rane's biggest hit? Well, it depends on how you look at it. While it has surpassed his previous films in the original run, Sanam Teri Kasam, which was re-released in 2025, has a higher lifetime collection. So, is the re-release factor a game-changer? Should it be considered in the overall success of a film? These are questions that spark debate among movie enthusiasts.
What's undeniable is the film's dominance over four other Bollywood releases of 2025. Within 48 hours, it left Mere Husband Ki Biwi, The Bhootnii, Crazxy, and Badass Ravikumar in the dust. This achievement is a testament to the film's appeal and Harshvardhan Rane's growing popularity.
So, will Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat continue its triumphant march at the box office? Will it solidify Harshvardhan Rane's position as a leading romantic star? The story unfolds, and the audience is left wondering what's next. Stay tuned for more box office updates and join the conversation—do you think re-releases should impact a film's overall success?
