Talking about its box office performance, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh called Deewane Ki Deewaniyat a “delightful surprise” in his latest post on X, formerly Twitter.
He wrote, “#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat / #EDKD springs a delightful surprise... Despite facing a formidable opponent from the #MHCU universe – #Thamma – and lesser showcasing, #EDKD pulls off double digits on Day 1. Following the re-release of #SanamTeriKasam, there has been renewed interest in its leading man #HarshvardhanRane, and #EDKD further consolidates his standing, especially across Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres.”
“The film is #HarshvardhanRane's biggest opener to date. Backed by chartbuster music, #EKDK has opened to impressive numbers at several mass centres... Of course, the #Diwali holiday period has also significantly contributed to the opening day score. With an extended festive weekend ahead, the film is expected to register a solid total in its extended opening weekend.”
