Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, First Hour Review: Hit Energy Or Future Flop? Walking into a house-full auditorium after Diwali does not happen every Friday, and that alone tells you the pull this film currently holds in tier-2 and tier-3 belts. The whistles for Harshvardhan Rane and the cheers for Sonam Bajwa begin before the story even places both in the same frame, that is, star-power working at ground level.
The film wastes no time. Harshvardhan Rane plays a rising political beast with the body language of someone who knows he owns the room. Sonam Bajwa arrives with the aura of a national-level glam star who knows the camera is an ally. The clash of their worlds, power versus popularity, is the spine of the first hour.
And here are the three strongest impressions the movie builds within its first 60 minutes:
Harshvardhan Rane Performance ReviewHe does not fade for a second. His entry shot provokes the kind of grin audiences wear when they feel they have gotten their money’s worth in the first 15 minutes. Even when the background score gets unnecessarily loud, he doesn’t get eaten by the noise, which is rare. There is one twist just before interval build-up that makes his character shift gears, and yes, he nails it.
It Feels Like The 90s Recorded on 4KEvery frame is dripping with old-school obsession cinema, sweeping music, high-decibel lovers, dramatic silhouettes and lines written to sound larger than life. If you loved that Emraan Hashmi-era dramatic romantic intensity, you will feel nostalgic. If you have moved on to colder, modern storytelling, this may feel dated. The film doesn’t care to be subtle; it wants to be addictive and loud.
She does not lean on the male lead’s gravity; she brings her own. The biggest indicator is that women in the audience are cheering louder for her than for the love story. She speaks with her face before she speaks with her lines, and that is helping this film more than the writing does.
Is This Heading Toward a Hit or a Flop?
If we judge by craft alone, the film stands on clichés and throwbacks. But cinema doesn’t run on craft; it runs on reactions, and right now the reaction is explosive in smaller cities. People are clapping, yelling, recording intros and planning repeat watches. That is hit-leaning behaviour.
If this madness sustains beyond the second half and doesn’t collapse under its own melodrama, this is marching toward a HIT in mass circuits, even if metros will remain divided.
Full review after interval pulse, but one thing is certain:
This is not dying quietly. It is either going loud-hit… or loud-flop. Right now it is loudly headed toward a HIT.
