Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat box office collection day 2: Harshvardhan Rane film lives to defy Thamma, collects ₹16.50 crore

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat box office collection day 2: Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's romantic drama is faring better than Thamma.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat box office collection day 2: Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s romantic drama, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, continues to spring a surprise at the box office. The Diwali release saw a good start, earning over ₹9 crore net on its first day of release. But even after the festival passed, on a working day, the Milap Zaveri film managed to hold its own and braved the Thamma juggernaut, registering a minuscule drop of 16%.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat box office update

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat box office collection day 2: Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa star in the romantic drama.

The Milap Zaveri directorial opened at ₹9 crore net in India on Tuesday, the day of its release. The makers later claimed that the film had earned over ₹10 crore. Either way, it was a solid start for a film that boasts no big names and was up against Thamma, a Maddock Films horror comedy that carried the franchise’s goodwill behind it. But Diwali was kind to both films in the end. The true test of the film’s longevity came on Wednesday, as it continued to run in theatres after the festival off ended.

Directed by Milap Zaveri, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa in lead roles, along with Shaad Randhawa, Sachin Khedekar, and Ananth Narayan Mahadevan. The film's promotions saw a unique campaign with the lead actor Harshvardhan Rane selling tickets at the box office himself, pasting stickers and bills across Mumbai, asking the audience to watch the film in theatres.
