The Day 24 Verdict: Underdog Wins the Midweek Battle

💥 The numbers are clear: Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat earned ₹6 lakhs more than Thamma on Wednesday. This late-stage victory confirms the amazing consistency of the romantic drama.

Why This Win is a Huge Deal

Both films were released on October 21, 2025, for the Diwali festival.

• Thamma (starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna) had a massive opening, earning about ₹24 Crore on Day 1. It is part of the successful Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.
• Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (starring Harshvardhan Rane, Sonam Bajwa) opened modestly with around ₹9 Crore on Day 1.

The big difference on opening day was more than ₹15 Crore. Yet, 24 days later, the smaller film is performing better daily. This shows that strong word-of-mouth (WOM) and a modest budget can lead to sustained success.

Box Office Totals

While Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is winning the daily race now, Thamma still leads the overall total by a huge margin.

Movie	Day 24 Net Collection	Total India Net Collection
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat	₹0.61 Crore	₹77.36 Crore
Thamma	₹0.55 Crore	₹133.15 Crore

Thamma is heading towards the ₹150 Crore mark and is already Ayushmann Khurrana’s highest-grossing film worldwide. But Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has already achieved the tag of a Super Hit. It crossed its relatively low budget of around ₹25 Crore very quickly and is now simply minting profits for its producers.

Analyzing the Long Haul

In the film business, a movie having “legs” means it can run in theaters for a long time, even after the first week. This is exactly what is happening with Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.

The Thamma Slowdown

Thamma, being a big-budget horror-comedy, relied on a massive opening. Its collections dropped sharply after the first week. By the fourth week, its daily earnings fell below the ₹1 Crore mark. This is normal for a front-loaded blockbuster. The audience that wanted to see the spectacle has already seen it. Its current run is now just adding a few crores to its already large total.

The Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Stability

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a romantic drama. Its success depends entirely on people recommending it to others.

• Target Audience: The film appeals to couples and audiences who prefer intense, emotional stories. This group often watches a movie later in its run.
• Controlled Drop: Where Thamma saw huge drops after its first week, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has maintained a steadier collection. It showed strong growth even in its third weekend. This consistent performance proves its WOM is authentic and powerful.

The romantic drama is performing exceptionally well in key regions like Delhi/NCR, Punjab, and Bihar. These markets are driving their stronghold in the fourth week.

The Budget Factor: A Win-Win for Both Studios

The box office clash is a success story for both films, but for different reasons.

EDKD: The Surprise Roar

The success of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a huge win for its lead actors, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa.

• The film has crossed the ₹77 Crore mark domestically. This is a massive number for a movie without a superstar lead.
• It has already recovered its production costs and is now generating pure profit. It has also performed very well overseas, helping it cross the ₹100 Crore Worldwide gross mark.
• This performance proves that a good story can beat a massive star cast if the content connects with the audience.

Thamma: The Big Milestone

Thamma is a certified Blockbuster thanks to its massive opening.

• It has surpassed the worldwide lifetime collections of many other Hindi films.
• Its total collection is a huge triumph for the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. This confirms the success of the film franchise.

The current daily collections for Thamma are small, but they are adding up to a final total that is among the highest of the year.

The fact that both films have found their own audience, instead of cancelling each other out, is the biggest positive takeaway from this Diwali clash. The late-game battle between a ₹0.55 Cr collection and a ₹0.61 Cr collection just highlights which film had the better sustained appeal. In the battle of consistency, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is now the clear winner.
