Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat: When Love Turns Into Obsession — Full Story, Cast, Reviews & Box Office Report

Movie Overview

Bollywood’s latest romantic thriller, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, hit theatres on 21 October 2025, lighting up Diwali week with high-voltage drama, passion, and power-packed performances. Directed and written by Milap Zaveri, the film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in lead roles, exploring how devotion can dangerously blur into obsession.

Storyline: A Tale of Love, Ego, and Madness

At the heart of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is Vikramaditya Bhonsle (Harshvardhan Rane), a charismatic and popular politician used to get what he wants. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Adaa Randhawa (Sonam Bajwa), a fearless and free-spirited actress who believes love is about freedom, not possession.

Their allure is immediate, powerful, and overwhelming. However, love turns into obsession after Adaa turns down Vikramaditya’s proposal. His desire to “own” her causes him to make a number of destructive decisions that reveal the negative aspects of ego, passion, and power.
This emotional collapse is depicted in Milap Zaveri’s screenplay through intense dialogue, intense drama, and dramatic, sweeping scenes.

The film explores one haunting question: When does love stop being love — and become madness?
