The romantic drama, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, may have slowed down in metros, but its emotional core and strong small-town connect have helped it maintain a visible presence even in its third week.
On Day 18, the film collected an estimated ₹0.65 crore, taking its total India net collection to approximately ₹71.95 crore. The drop from previous weekdays is marginal, indicating that loyal audiences in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities continue to support the film. While multiplex circuits have nearly phased it out, single screens in the Hindi heartland continue to draw moderate footfalls, especially during evening and late-night shows.
The trend through the third week has been consistent with natural weekday declines. Day 16 brought in around ₹0.13 crore, Day 17 saw ₹0.12 crore, and the figure for Day 18 holds close to this zone, demonstrating a stable late-run performance.
The film’s word-of-mouth remains positive among family audiences and younger viewers who appreciate its classic romantic tone, melodic soundtrack, and emotional storytelling.
With its current pace, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is expected to touch the ₹72 crore milestone within the next day or two. A lifetime domestic total in the range of ₹72–75 crore appears achievable — a strong finish for a mid-budget love story that began its journey quietly but held ground through sincerity rather than spectacle.
The film’s sustained run highlights that traditional romances still have a place in theatres, provided they connect with genuine emotion.
In a marketplace dominated by high-octane actioners and franchise blockbusters, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has proven that heartfelt stories, when told with authenticity, can still find loyal audiences across India’s smaller centres. Eighteen days in, its journey stands as one of 2025’s most quietly successful romantic dramas.
