Box Office Preview — Can Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Hold Ground on Its Third Weekend?

November 8, 2025—The romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has been a huge surprise hit at the box office. The film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. It was released on Diwali, October 21, 2025. It clashed with the bigger movie Thamma, but still found its audience.

Now, the film is stepping into its third weekend in cinemas. The big question is: Can this romantic story keep bringing in the crowds? It faces major new competition. The box office battle is getting tough.

The Journey So Far: A Surprising Success

📈 Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat proved all the trade experts wrong. It became a dark horse hit.

1. Massive Word of Mouth

The film had a lot fewer screens than the other Diwali release, Thamma. But good reviews and audience praise helped it a lot. People who watched it told their friends to go.

• This “word of mouth” helped it make more money on the second weekend.
• The movie showed very good stability. It did not drop sharply in collections after the first few days.

2. Crossing Key Milestones

In just over two weeks, the movie has already achieved some great numbers.

• It collected about ₹55.15 crore in its first week in India.
• Its total collection in India has crossed the ₹70 crore net mark as of Day 17 (Thursday, November 7).
• The movie has already become a huge HIT based on its low budget (reportedly ₹25 crore).
• The film has also crossed the ₹100 crore gross mark worldwide. This is a big win for the stars and the director, Milap Zaveri.

3. Strong Hold in Mass Centres

While the movie did well in cities, it performed exceptionally well in the B and C tier centres and single screens.

• In places like Bihar, it has broken records for a romantic film.
• The film’s songs and strong emotions connected directly with this core audience.

The Third Weekend Challenge: New Competition

⚔️ The third weekend is always the hardest test for any movie. This time, the challenge is even bigger because of the new film releases.

1. Facing a Brand New Rival: HAQ

The biggest threat this weekend is the new movie, HAQ. This is a courtroom drama starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi. It hit the screens on Friday, November 7.

• HAQ has received a good number of screens across India.
• This immediately means Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has lost many of its screens. The new movie will take away a large part of the audience.
• The first-day estimate for Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat‘s third Friday (November 8) is around ₹0.60 crore. This is a drop from the previous day.

2. Continuous Battle with Old Releases

The movie must also keep fighting with its original competitors.

• Thamma is still running well, though its collections are also dropping.
• The re-release of S. S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Epic is also a strong competitor. That movie is attracting South Indian and mass audiences.

3. Prediction: Can it Reach the Next Level?

The film has already done much more than expected. Its target now is to cross the ₹75 crore mark.

• The biggest collection will come on Saturday and Sunday. This is because of the weekend family audience.
• If the movie sees a good jump of 40% to 50% on Saturday, it can end the third weekend close to the ₹75 crore mark.
• A strong hold this weekend is key. It will prove the film’s lasting appeal.

The coming days will show if this romantic success story can beat the new challenges and finish strong. It is a big test for the movie’s great run so far.
