Here's a bold statement: Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has defied expectations at the box office, but its 17th-day performance might just surprise you. And this is the part most people miss—while the film has been steadily earning, its occupancy rates tell a more nuanced story. Let’s dive into the details.
After a strong 16-day run, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat amassed an impressive ₹70.20 Cr net in India. On its 17th day, the film added an estimated ₹1.15 Cr to its total, bringing the cumulative collection to ₹71.35 Cr. But here’s where it gets interesting: the film’s overall Hindi occupancy on November 6, 2025, stood at 10.03%, with varying performances across different show timings and regions. But here’s where it gets controversial—while cities like Chennai and Jaipur saw higher occupancy rates (26% and 17.25%, respectively), major hubs like Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR) recorded modest numbers at 11% and 8%, respectively. Does this indicate a regional divide in the film’s appeal? Or is it a sign of audience fatigue after nearly three weeks in theaters?
Breaking down the 17-day box office journey, the film saw fluctuations in daily collections, with weekends generally outperforming weekdays. For instance, the first Sunday saw a 12% increase from Saturday, while the second Monday dropped by 56% compared to the previous day. And this is the part most people miss—despite these ups and downs, the film has consistently maintained a presence in theaters, thanks to its engaging storyline and stellar performances by Harshvardhan Rane, Sonam Bajwa, Shaad Randhawa, and Sachin Khedekar.
Directed by Milap Milan Zaveri and produced by Play DMF, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has become Harshvardhan Rane’s highest-grossing film to date, surpassing Sanam Teri Kasam and Savi: A Bloody Housewife. For Sonam Bajwa, it’s her second-highest earner after Housefull 5. Boldly highlighting a point—while the film’s domestic performance is commendable, its overseas and worldwide collections remain undisclosed, leaving room for speculation about its global impact.
Now, let’s talk occupancy. The 17th-day figures reveal a mixed bag. Morning shows averaged 7.42%, afternoons at 11.21%, evenings at 10.32%, and nights at 11.16%. Regional disparities were even more pronounced, with Chennai leading the pack and Bhopal lagging at 6%. But here’s a thought-provoking question—is this a reflection of the film’s content, or are external factors like competition and audience preferences at play? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
