Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Nears ₹50 Crore as First-Week Estimates Diverge

Trade reports say the Diwali release recouped its modest budget quickly, with word-of-mouth in smaller centers sustaining sales despite a Monday dip.

Overview

  • Day 7 take is pegged in the ₹3.35–₹4.04 crore range, putting first-week India net between roughly ₹44.8 crore and ₹52.4 crore depending on the tracker cited (Sacnilk, Pinkvilla, Koimoi).
  • Hindustan Times reports Day 8 at about ₹4.25 crore, lifting the running total to around ₹49.25 crore and placing the film on the cusp of the ₹50 crore milestone.
  • On a reported ~₹25 crore budget, the film recovered costs within four days and is widely labeled a hit, with several outlets calling it Harshvardhan Rane’s highest-grossing title.
  • The movie continues to trail Ayushmann Khurrana’s Thamma (about ₹95.6 crore domestic) but has held well on fewer screens with strong Tier-2/3 traction.
  • Critical notices skew mixed-to-negative over alleged regressive themes, yet on-ground promotions and word-of-mouth are supporting weekday holds as new releases in early to mid-November loom.
