Will Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Become a Franchise? Box Office Success & Cliffhanger Ending Point to Yes

19 November 2025, Mumbai: The biggest surprise of this Diwali wasn’t the big horror-comedy Thamma. Instead, it was a smaller romantic film that stole hearts and money. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, has become a “Super Hit.” With the movie crossing major box office milestones, fans are asking one big question: Is a sequel coming?

The movie was made on a small budget of ₹25 Crore but has earned huge profits. This kind of success usually leads to a franchise. Let’s look at the chances of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat 2.

Director Milap Zaveri Hints at “Part 2”

The most important sign of a sequel comes from the captain of the ship, director Milap Zaveri. He has openly said that the story was written with a future part in mind.

According to an exclusive chat with Hindustan Times, Milap Zaveri shared that he has clear plans for a sequel. He said, “There is always a scope for a sequel in this country… Why won’t someone make a sequel, considering my current climax demands it? I do have some thoughts.”

This is a very strong hint. Directors usually wait for the box office results before talking about part 2. But since the movie is already a hit, the green light is very close.

The Box Office Logic: Why a Sequel Makes Sense

In Bollywood, numbers speak louder than scripts. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a goldmine for its producers.

• Budget: Approx ₹25 Crore
• Box Office (India): ₹77 Crore+ (and counting)
• Worldwide: ₹100 Crore+

The movie has collected more than three times its budget. This is called a “High ROI” (Return on Investment) project. When a producer makes this much profit, they almost always want to repeat the success.

As per a report by DNA India, producer Anshul Garg mentioned that despite the clash with a big star like Ayushmann Khurrana, his film found its audience. He proved that a strong emotional story doesn’t need a massive superstar to win. This confidence is exactly what is needed to launch a franchise.

Audience Demand and “Cliffhanger”

The movie ends on a note that leaves the audience wanting more. This “cliffhanger” style is famous in Milap Zaveri films (like Ek Villain or Marjaavaan).

Social media is also full of fans asking for the return of the intense lover, ‘Vikram’. The chemistry between Harshvardhan and Sonam Bajwa is fresh, and Bollywood is currently missing intense romantic franchises like Aashiqui. This creates a perfect gap for Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat to fill.

Opinion

The chances of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat 2 are Very High (90%).

The movie checks all the boxes: it is highly profitable, the director has a story ready, and the lead actor (Harshvardhan Rane) has found a career-defining hit. Just like Singham or Baaghi, this could become a regular series where the hero fights the world for his “mad” love. Expect an official announcement before mid-2026.
