What happens when an actor celebrates a moderate success like it’s a blockbuster? The internet has opinions. Harshvardhan Rane‘s film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has done decently well at the box office, performing better than expectations. While this is genuinely good news, the actor’s reactions have become a topic of discussion online, and not in the way he probably hoped.
Harshvardhan Rane has been spotted in theaters shouting thank you messages to audiences for supporting outsiders’ films. He has also been posting videos on social media celebrating his growing fan following and the film’s performance. However, netizens feel his reactions are way too over the top for what is essentially a moderate success.
Netizens Question The Overreaction
Social media users have started questioning the actor’s overzealous behavior. Many are wondering what exactly has happened that warrants such extreme celebrations. The film has done decent business, but it’s not like it has broken any box office records or become a massive cultural phenomenon.
One netizen perfectly captured the mood by posting, “How Harshvardhan Rane wants us to react to his cringiest movie just because he’s an outsider,” along with a gif saying “iss film ko to oscar me jana chahiye.” This sarcastic take has resonated with many people online who find the celebrations excessive.
Unnecessary Digs At Star Kids Backfire
What has made things worse is that Harshvardhan Rane has reportedly been taking digs at nepotism and asking people to boycott star kids. This approach has not gone down well with audiences. Many feel that bringing nepotism into every conversation is unnecessary, especially when your own film has just done moderately well.
Another viral comment stated, “This guy will single handedly make people support nepos over outsiders in near future.” This harsh but funny observation highlights how the actor’s behavior might actually be doing more harm than good to the outsider versus insider debate.
Film Did Decent Business
To be fair to the actor, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat directed by Milap Zaveri has performed better than expected. The film was not anticipated to do much business, but it surprised everyone by collecting decent numbers. This is genuinely something worth celebrating.
However, there’s a fine line between being grateful and being over the top. Netizens feel that the actor has crossed that line with his constant videos, theater visits, and nepotism commentary. A simple thank you would have been appreciated, but the ongoing campaign feels forced.
When Celebrations Become Cringe
The internet is brutal when it comes to calling out what it perceives as cringe behavior. In this case, netizens are not attacking the film’s success or even questioning the actor’s talent. They are simply pointing out that the reactions seem disproportionate to the actual achievement.
Many people have pointed out that other outsider actors like Rajkummar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Kartik Aaryan have delivered much bigger successes without making it about insider versus outsider politics at every step. Their work speaks for itself.
