Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is set to stream on ZEE5 from December 26, but its arrival on OTT comes with heavy baggage. The film was widely criticised after its theatrical release and was clearly not well made. Critics called out its weak writing, loud treatment of emotions, and outdated ideas around love and obsession. Many reviews described it as tone deaf rather than intense or meaningful.
The story follows a man whose love turns into obsession, but the film fails to explore this idea with any depth or sensitivity. Characters feel underwritten, and the narrative moves in circles without real growth. What could have been a psychological love story ends up feeling shallow and poorly executed.
Despite the negative response from critics, the film turned into a major commercial success. It went on to earn more than 110 crores at the box office, proving once again that critical reception and audience turnout do not always align.
With its ZEE5 release, the film will reach even more viewers, especially those curious about its box office numbers. However, commercial success does not hide the fact that Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat remains a badly made film that mistakes noise for emotion and obsession for romance.
