New Delhi, Oct 26: Actor Harshvardhan Rane returned to theatres with the romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, co-starring Sonam Bajwa, which released during Diwali. Despite facing stiff competition from Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thamma, the film has managed to draw audiences and perform strongly at the box office.

Within five days of its release, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat collected an estimated Rs 34 crore. The film opened with around Rs 9 crore on Tuesday, a figure comparable to Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, even though Thamma had nearly triple the number of screens. Collections remained steady through the week, with Rs 7.5 crore on Wednesday, Rs 6 crore on Thursday, Rs 5.5 crore on Friday, and Rs 5.75 crore on Saturday, bringing the total to approximately Rs 34 crore.

Released alongside Thamma, which crossed Rs 50 crore in three days, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has held its own in a highly competitive box office environment. The film’s success may make it Harshvardhan Rane’s most successful solo outing, following the recognition he gained with Sanam Teri Kasam.

The movie also features a strong supporting cast, including Shaad Randhawa, Sachin Khedekar, Ananth Narayan Mahadevan, and Rajesh Khera, adding depth to the romantic drama.
