The countdown to one of Diwali’s most anticipated romantic dramas has officially begun. The first poster for the film “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” was unveiled today, setting the stage for a fiery love story that will hit the big screen on October 21, 2025. The film, which stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, also announced that its teaser will be out tomorrow, promising to give audiences a first glimpse into its world of love and revenge.
A Fiery First Look: The Poster’s Powerful Imagery
The unveiled poster is a masterpiece of storytelling. It features a heart-shaped fire with Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa at its centre, with tears in their eyes. The imagery and the film’s tagline, “This Diwali, not just diyas, but hearts will burn. Love will clash with hate, and the obsession of the deewane will ignite a fire,” hint at a deep, intense, and emotional narrative. It’s a departure from the usual light-hearted romantic films, suggesting a story that delves into the darker side of love, obsession, and heartbreak.
The film, which is directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, is a collaborative effort between Desi Music Factory, led by Anshul Garg, and Raghav Sharma. Zaveri is known for his bold and dramatic filmmaking style, and this film seems to be no exception. The poster has already created a buzz on social media, with fans eagerly speculating about the film’s plot and the chemistry between the lead pair.
A Promising Pair: Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa
Harshvardhan Rane, who shot to fame with his intense performance in Sanam Teri Kasam, has a strong screen presence that is perfect for a film about obsessive love. Sonam Bajwa, a huge star in Punjabi cinema, is making her Hindi cinema debut as a lead actress. Her presence adds a fresh and exciting dynamic to the film. Their on-screen pairing is expected to be a major highlight, and the poster has already given a glimpse of their intense chemistry.
The film’s music is also a major highlight, as it is produced by Desi Music Factory, a company known for its hit singles and albums. With a musical genius like Anshul Garg on board, the film’s soundtrack is expected to be a blockbuster in its own right, adding another layer of appeal for audiences.
Diwali Showdown: Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat vs Thama
The film’s release date, October 21, 2025, places it in a direct box office clash with other big-ticket films this Diwali. The most significant clash is with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna‘s horror-comedy “Thama,” produced by Maddock Films. This battle of genres—a romantic drama against a horror-comedy—will be one of the most exciting box office clashes of the year.
While “Thama” has the backing of a successful franchise, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” has the advantage of a powerful love story and a fresh pairing. The film is co-written by Mushtaq Shaikh, who has a knack for creating compelling narratives. With Milap Zaveri at the helm, the film is expected to deliver a story that is high on emotion and drama.
The teaser for “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” is set to release tomorrow, August 22, and it will be interesting to see how the makers showcase the film’s unique narrative and what its visual style will look like. One thing is for certain: this Diwali, it won’t just be the fireworks that light up the sky; it will also be the clash of these two highly anticipated films.
