Deewaniyat, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s first collaboration, is not your typical Bollywood rom-com.
This is love in one of its quietest forms, ruining the elements of pain, passion, and poetic tragedy. The first-look poster sets up a love story shrouded in blood and tears — for real — today.
The gaze of Harshvardhan Rane is welcoming a rose flower to Sonam Bajwa, and he is left with the thorns — bloodied and rejected. On the other hand, he is gazing at Sonam Bajwa, who is burning that same rose flower with teary eyes — loving and destroying!
This is directed by Milap Zaveri, who is known for his emotional intensity wrapped in hints of masala that is palatable for the mass audience. Based on the symbolism of the poster, it seems that Deewaniyat will be presented authentically and compellingly by exploring love that destroys.
With this much symbolism in a single poster, Deewaniyat might just earn its label as a heartbreak movie and destroy.
Deewaniyat Release Date Locked On Gandhi Jayanti & Dussehra 2025
It just speaks to their commitment to the cause; this film is scheduled to be released October 2, 2025 — Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra — on a day where theatres will likely see heavy traffic from the double holiday.
The only thing left to announce is the avenue to which Deewaniyat will be released — whether to cinemas or OTT environments adds an extra layer of anticipation for an already anticipated venture.
Will This Supersede Sanam Teri Kasam?
This release timing is important. Fans of Sanam Teri Kasam have been waiting and enquiring about its sequel for some while now. Harshvardhan openly distanced himself from a sequel after a prickly disagreement with his costar, Mawra Hocane.
Since that debacle, Mawra has distanced herself from the project, and with Harshvardhan remaining mum about returning, Deewaniyat becomes the emotional balm — or, maybe, distraction — for those fans still healing from that nostalgia.
On a side note, the buzz for Deewaniyat has now eclipsed excitement for the sequel of Sanam Teri Kasam, which is a signifier of the momentum the new pairing with Sonam Bajwa has developed.
With the internet’s obsession and a dark-hearted hunk cast in a tragic romance? That’s a recipe audiences are more than willing to lean into.
Box Office Worldwide Verdict
Milap Zaveri‘s Deewaniyat comes out literally swinging with a first look that is all blood, fire, and broken hearts – some cinematically visceral metaphor for love that hurts. With Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa‘s intensity, this could well have sleeper hit potential for the 2025 Festival of World Cinema, considering the Gandhi Jayanti release.
