Deewanit Box Office: Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s film “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” was already generating buzz before its release. The film’s title track and teaser went viral on social media. People were excited, and some even compared it to the previous hit “Saiyaara.” However, as soon as the film hit the box office, the real story became clear.
Drop in Earnings on the Second Day
The film opened with a gross of ₹9 crore on its first day. However, on the second day, Wednesday, the box office performance plummeted. According to reports, the film earned only ₹7.5 crore. This represents a drop of approximately 16.67% from its first day. The total gross after two days now stands at ₹16.5 crore.
Despite the initial excitement, audiences did not seem completely satisfied with the film. The expectations generated by the songs and teaser were not fully reflected at the box office. Critics also gave the film mixed reviews.

Budget and Profit Potential
The budget of ‘Deewaniyat’ was ₹25 crore, which is significantly lower than that of big Bollywood films. This means the film is not at risk of significant losses. Meanwhile, bigger films like ‘Thama’, with budgets of ₹125 crore, take longer to turn a profit.
Experts believe that small-budget films can quickly reach profits if they maintain audience engagement. The weekend is crucial for ‘Deewaniyat’. If audience attendance increases and the response is positive, it could quickly recover its costs.
Ratings and Audience Response
The film has a 5/10 rating on IMDb, reflecting mixed reviews from audiences. Meanwhile, ‘Thama’ has a 6.7/10 rating. However, due to ‘Thama’s’ larger budget, it will take longer to turn a profit.
This clearly shows that small-budget films are more dependent on audiences. If people like the film, it can quickly reach a profit. The next few days of “Deewaniyat” will determine whether it becomes a modest hit or slowly slips down the box office charts.

The Road Ahead
So far, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” is neither a big hit nor a complete flop. It will now entirely depend on audience response over the weekend. If positive word-of-mouth continues, the film could make its mark at the box office.
Industry experts and reporters will now be monitoring its daily collections, viewership trends, and digital rights. Every day counts during this Diwali season. And “Deewaniyat” still has a chance to make its mark, even without any major financial pressures.
