Love, Passion & Obsession : Milap Zaveri Returns to His Core Strength
Director Milap Milan Zaveri, known for his massy entertainers filled with high-voltage emotion and fiery dialogues, returns to familiar territory with Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. But this time, he chooses a more emotional, musically charged canvas a tale of two lovers torn between love, madness, and revenge.
At its heart, this is not just a love story - it’s about the extremes one goes to when love turns into obsession. The first half gently builds the world of its characters, while the second half dives into the darkness of heartbreak and vengeance.
Story & Screenplay: Familiar Yet Engaging
The film opens with a serene love story between Aarav (Harshvardhan Rane) and Meera (Sonam Bajwa), two passionate souls brought together by music. Their romance feels genuine, with moments that breathe life into Milap’s world of heightened emotions.
However, the story takes a dramatic turn post-interval, shifting gears into intense emotional territory reminiscent of Yash Chopra’s Darr and Humraaz.
Writers Mushtaq Shiekh and Milap Zaveri craft a screenplay filled with melodrama and passion, occasionally uneven but never dull. The interval twist is a true shocker it jolts you and sets up a fiery second half.
That said, the pacing dips in places. The first 20 minutes could’ve been tighter, and a few emotional confrontations drag slightly beyond necessity. Still, the payoff in the climax and the emotional intensity make it worthwhile.
Music: The Heartbeat of the Film
One of the film’s biggest strengths lies in its music album, easily among the most soulful this year.
- The title track perfectly captures the madness of love.
- “Bol Kaffara” is beautifully rendered and visually mesmerizing.
- “Dil Dil Dil” brings a haunting energy that lingers post-credits.
The background score adds to the intensity enhancing both the tender and turbulent moments.
Performances: A Trio That Delivers
- Harshvardhan Rane delivers one of his most powerful performances. His portrayal of a man torn between love and obsession is raw, vulnerable, and deeply emotional. He commands the screen, especially in the confrontational and breakdown scenes.
- Sonam Bajwa is mesmerizing : a perfect mix of elegance, anger, and emotion. She shines brightest in the emotional breakdowns, proving once again her depth as an actress.
- Shaad Randhawa plays a pivotal supporting role with conviction, adding weight to the narrative.
Their chemistry feels organic and intense, which elevates even the melodramatic portions.
Direction, Dialogues & Technicals
Milap Zaveri’s direction is sincere , he understands his audience well and delivers what they expect: emotion, drama, and impactful moments.
While the dialogue-baazi is overdone in a few scenes, the intention is clear . Milap aims for an old-school Bollywood emotional rollercoaster. The cinematography captures the mood beautifully, with stunning use of light and color, especially in the musical portions.
Editing could’ve been crisper in the first act, but the second half more than compensates.
