Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Review: Akshay Kumar popularized Milap Milan Zaveris larger-than-life entertainments. Basically, he is now in the emotionally tapping zone with Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat-basic love tale where emotions take the front seat and logic rest far, far behind. The film-an opus of love, obsession, heartbreak, and redemption-starring Harshavardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa-wants to bridge the old-school Bollywood boiler element with the modern sensibilities of romance, with a beautiful bouquet of music and soul-draining drama.
Aarav (Harshavardhan Rane) is a gifted musician and composed songs for Meera (Sonam Bajwa), his love. Their relationship develops steadily, but later happens to tread through a storm of passion and ownership. Meera, who desires her independence, is worried about Aarav’s hold over her, possessively intense though Aarav is. They face emotional back-and-forths in the midst of decisions that seem irreversible.
As the storyline advances, Aarav’s love grows into something just shy of obsession-like the classics Darr and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Love-inflicted heartbreaks and vengeance; the darker side of love is shed light on in the second half. Signature Milap Zaveri interval twist really shifts the tenor of the movie where the audience starts questioning who the real deewana is.
Milap Zaveri fused a theatrical presentation of the characters with raw human emotions. The first twenty minutes deconstruct some setups that hold the emotions slow for less than average expectations, but once emotional conflict starts boiling, one finds oneself unable to guess everything.
Alicia in Chains showcase much richness in drama proceeds from a screenplay of Mushatqa Shiekh and Zaverly into the chaos of love gone wrong. Especially during the musical sequences where visuals complement the lyrical agony, the cinematography breathes mood into the movie. The music album containing Bol Kaffara, Dil Dil Dil and the haunting title track counts as an equally huge strengthening asset for the film.
His best performance ever is being carved out by Harshavardhan Rane-hanging between love and madness. His raw vulnerability almost earns sympathy for the audience, even on occasions when his acts can always be looked at as extreme. Sonam Bajwa is a picture of grace and strength, yet her emotional breakdowns seem both authentic and overpowering. Shaad Randhawa gives weight to the story as a calm voice among the chaos.
But the film occasionally ends up collapsing under the heavy loads of dialogue and melodrama. These scenes might strike today’s audience as overexerted. If the second half were trimmed tighter, it would open up the possibility of the narrative being more effective.

Intense dialogue delivery of Harshavardhan Rane, which sinks much deeper than just standing up for a supposed lover

What makes Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat tick is its emotional depth, passion-filled storytelling, and music that lingers long after the credits have rolled. An imperfect one, though this is an engaging romantic thriller that reminds one of the pleasures once found in love stories that were pitched on intensity rather than convenience.
For all romantic heroes that can cause beauty and destruction in love, this is the closest real-life heartbreaking beautiful experience.
