Bollywood’s Obsession with “Deewaniyat” Now Comes with Grammar Confusion
As if we hadn’t already hit peak creativity with films with titles like Katti Batti, Humshakals, or Jab Harry Met Sejal, Bollywood’s creative title ideas have given us yet another entry into the Hall of Fame of Head-Scratching Titles — “Deewane Ki Deewaniyat”.
Because nothing quite represents the intensity of romance like a title that sounds like it came out of your WhatsApp Shayari group. And, if you are wondering what “Deewane Ki Dewaniyat” means, welcome to the club — even Google Translate gave up halfway.
Who Keeps Deewane Ki Deewaniyat? Harshvardhan Rane–Sonam Bajwa Starrer Has Title Change, and the Internet Wants a Recount
In the grand Bollywood tradition of giving us all these long titles that sound like a failed shayari, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa‘s new musical romance has stretched the idea of obsessive love into a long title.
The film was initially titled Deewaniyat and then changed to the title Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.
Yes, you read that right. Deewaniyat wasn’t long enough.
In a weird twist of branding fate, Deewaniyat was now Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.
If you’re wondering what happened, here are the answers: new production house, new title, and maybe a new record for the longest, syllable-heavy title in Bollywood history.
Directed by Milap Zaveri, this film is now moving forward with Play DMF, the growing music-and-movies business of Anshul Garg.
According to those in the know, the new team felt that the old title did not fit with the film’s “evolving narrative”. Hence, Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which is equal parts a pet project and a tongue twister.
Story Still Dramatic, Title Still Tricky
Despite all the title gymnastics, this film is still about love and obsession. There will be some touching songs, heightened emotions, and serious romantic drama between Rane and Bajwa.
There aren’t many plot details, but one thing’s for sure — the title sounds like the punchline of a WhatsApp status update at this point.
Harshvardhan Rane’s Work Timeline
Fresh off the nostalgia of the re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam, Harshvardhan Rane is certainly keeping busy. In addition to Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, he also stars in an untitled romantic movie with Omung Kumar, alongside Sadia Khateeb and Ipsitaa.
Sonam Bajwa’s Bollywood Buzz
More known for the latest Punjabi hits, Sonam Bajwa is making quite the impact in Bollywood. A part of the gigantic ensemble in Sajid Nadiadwala‘s Housefull 5, she’ll also be sharing the screen with Tiger Shroff in Baaghi 4 (with Sanjay Dutt and Harnaaz Sandhu).
