Bollywood witnessed a wholesome moment of industry camaraderie as acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to social media to congratulate director Milap Zaveri on the roaring success of his latest romantic drama, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.
Mehta wrote, “Hey @MassZaveri, congrats on the roaring success of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat! May you keep charming the masses!”
The tweet, simple yet gracious, quickly caught attention for bridging two distinct creative worlds—Mehta, known for his hard-hitting and socially conscious narratives (Scam 1992, Shahid), and Zaveri, celebrated for his unapologetically massy entertainers.
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, has struck a chord with audiences. The romantic musical opened to strong box office numbers, raking in an impressive 17–18 crore in just two days, marking a career-high for Rane. The film’s energetic storytelling, catchy music, and emotional depth have made it a crowd-pleaser—despite some critics pointing out its “anti-woke” undertones.
Zaveri’s signature style—grand emotions, larger-than-life love, and mass connect—seems to have paid off once again. And Mehta’s public praise highlights something Bollywood could always use more of: mutual respect across creative sensibilities.
As the film continues its successful run, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat not only cements Zaveri’s flair for commercial storytelling but also proves that romance and melody still have a powerful pull at the box office.
