Both the films ‘Thama’ and ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ came together at the box office on the same day on 21st October. Both the films got the audience, but ‘Thama’ opened the account with almost 3 times the earning of ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ on the opening day.

Till now, even though the film of Maddock Horror Universe has come close to making 100 crores, but in this game of box office figures, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ has gone ahead of it. Let us understand from the figures.

‘The madness of a crazy person’ overshadowed ‘Thama’, know how

• The star cast of ‘Thama’ is big. There are actors like Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Apart from this, the film has nostalgia of films like ‘Stree’ and ‘Bhediya’ and many big cameos. Because of this, the daily earning of the film is more than that of ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’.
• Despite this, ‘Thama’ has lagged behind in one particular matter and that is budget recovery. Actually, there is a huge difference in the budget of both the films.
• Where according to Times of India, ‘Thama’ has been made for Rs 145 crores. So, according to Koimoi, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ has been made for only Rs 25 crores.
• According to the synopsis of both the films, if we look at the earnings till now, ‘Thama’ has earned more than Rs 60 crores. Now it will have to earn around Rs 80 crore more to meet the budget.
• Whereas ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ has been made in just Rs 25 crores and it has taken out the total budget by earning on top of it. Apparently, Sonam Bajwa and Harshvardhan Rane’s film has left Ayushmann Khurrana’s film behind in terms of budget recovery.

What was positive for ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’?

While the promotion and star cast of ‘Thama’ was so huge that the budget of the film reached around Rs 150 crores, whereas ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ got viewers only because of word of mouth.

Nothing much was spent on the promotion of the film. This is the reason why the film is going to be included in the successful films even before ‘Thama’ after making the full budget. Film actor Harshvardhan has gone on an India tour with his own van and that is all the promotion is, nothing else.

Despite the clash with films like ‘Thama’, people’s interest in Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s film remains intact. ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ is now very close to releasing its budget.

This film, which was released on October 21, has got the benefit of an extended weekend of 6 days and looking at the budget of the film and its earnings so far, it seems that it is going to be included in the list of hit films very soon.

Box office collection of ‘Ek Deewane Ki Diwaniyat’

According to Saknilk, the romantic film ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ took an opening of Rs 9 crore on the occasion of Diwali. The film’s earning on the second day was Rs 7.75 crore. The collection on the third day was Rs 6 crore.

Now today i.e. on the fourth day till 6:05 pm the film has earned Rs 1.76 crore and has made a total collection of Rs 24.51 crore. Please note that today’s data is not final yet. There may be change in this.

How much will ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ have to earn to become a hit?

• According to the report of Koimoi, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ has been made with a budget of Rs 25 crores. The film has spent its entire budget in just 4 days.
• For any film to be a hit, it is necessary that it earns almost double its budget, that is, Harshvardhan’s film will have to earn only around Rs 25 crores to become a hit.
• There is an increase in the earnings of films on Saturday-Sunday due to holidays, so it is expected that the film will come close to becoming a hit in its first weekend.

On one hand, despite coming close to joining the Rs 100 crore club, ‘Thama’ has not yet become a hit because its budget is only Rs 145 crore. So, due to the small budget, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ is going to be included in the list of hit films in just a few days.

Bollywood actor Harshvardhan Rane’s film ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ is getting a lot of love from the audience. There is a huge crowd in theaters to watch this film and hence the film is earning a lot at the box office too. ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ was released in theaters on 21 October. Now in just three days the film is close to finalizing its budget.

• According to the production house of ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’, the film had earned Rs 10.11 crore on the first day.
• On the second day, Harshvardhan Rane’s film collected Rs 8.88 crore at the Indian box office.
• Now the initial figures of the third day have come out, after which the film has now become a part of the 20 crore club.
• According to Sacknilk, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ has earned Rs 2.52 crore so far (till 5 pm).
• The total collection of the film at the domestic box office has now reached Rs 21.50 crore.

Collection of 3 days of ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’

Day	collection
day 1	10.11 crores
day 2	8.88 crores
day 3	2.52 crores
Total	21.50 crores

‘Ek Deewane Ki Diwaniyat’ collected this much budget
According to the report of Koimoi, the budget of ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ is only Rs 30 crore. Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s film has recovered 72.66 percent of its cost by earning Rs 21.50 crore in three days. Looking at the three-day collection of ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’, it can be expected that the film will recover its entire budget with the fourth day’s earnings. However, the film will have to wait a long time to become a hit.

Was ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ a hit or a flop?
Actually, according to the box office formula, any film is called a hit when it collects double its cost. That means, to become a hit, ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ will have to collect Rs 60 crore at the box office. That is why the film cannot be called a hit yet.
