Milap Milan Zaveri's Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat premiered in theatres on October 21, 2025, and it was added to ZEE5's (OTTplay Premium) streaming library on December 26, 2025. An intense love drama, it stars Harshvardhan Rane as Vikramaditya Bhosle and Sonam Bajwa as Adaa Randhawa, and it is about the explosive confluence of obsession, power, and redemption. Many people are still talking about the film's tragic ending and what it means for the character of the "hero" in it.

Genesis of obsession

Son of a prominent politician (Sachin Khedekar), Vikramaditya Bhosle is the protagonist of the story. The authoritarian parenting style of his father instilled in Vikram a habit of anticipating the fulfilment of his every desire. He makes up his mind right away that the famous Bollywood star Adaa Randhawa must be his.

The initial portion of the film presents Vikram's obsession not as "wooing" but as persistent pestering, in contrast to the conventional romantic narrative. He destroys Adaa's professional life, meddles in her private affairs, and then demands that she marry him in one month by using his political might. Adaa, who stands in for a strong, independent woman, refuses his approaches time and time again, describing his "love" as an unhealthy obsession.

Interval twist

During the interval, the story takes a sharp turn. The ineffectiveness of the legal system in protecting her from Vikram's constant stalking drove Adaa to her breaking point, and she decided to confront her attacker head-on. She bursts onto the platform at one of Vikram's major political rallies. She makes a shocking announcement to the live television cameras, stating that she will spend one night with any guy who succeeds in killing Vikramaditya before Dussehra, transforming the film from a typical stalker-thriller into a darker psychological drama.

This action turns Vikram's public persona into a weapon by turning his obsession with himself against him. It also shows how desperate Adaa is; she goes to the same extremes as him, to the point of "madness" (deewaniyat), and she basically puts a price on his head so that she may get her freedom back.

Unveiling the trauma

As the drama nears its conclusion, more and more facets of Vikram's character emerge. His trusted friend Saawant (Shaad Randhawa) reveals that Vikram's actions stem from a traumatic event he experienced as a child. He had spent years being brainwashed by his father, who blamed him for his mother's death during childbirth. Because of this, the man became convinced that he was intrinsically "unworthy" of love and felt compelled to take it when he wanted it.

Vikram undergoes a transformation after coming to terms with his father's manipulation and the true suffering he has inflicted on Adaa. Instead of asking for her hand, he approaches Adaa to apologise sincerely. He finally gets it: her decision is the only one that really counts. However, the external forces he instigated remain unstoppable.

Fatal showdown

Vikram's father believes that Adaa is a distraction that has ruined Vikram's political career, so he asks Saawant to kill her, seeing his son "weaken" by prioritising love over power. Saawant, conflicted between his love for Vikram and his duty to his father, shoots Adaa in the last showdown. As a last effort of contrition, Vikram flings himself in her path. The bullet hits him square in the chest.

A tone of melancholy reunion replaces the earlier tone of hostility as Vikram lies dying in Adaa's embrace. In his last moments, he begs her forgiveness again, telling her that if he could go back in time, he would love her more from her perspective than his own.

Controversial climax

Right after he passes away, the film's most divisive scene happens. Despite her open hatred for him throughout the film, Adaa finds solace in his ultimate sacrifice. As if to show her forgiveness and maybe a newfound understanding of his "intensity" brought on by his suffering, she puts the engagement ring that Vikram was wearing on her finger.

Though he was a "villain" in life, Vikram becomes a "martyr" in Adaa's eyes in death, according to this ending. A "union in death" that neither could have ever accomplished while alive is what it suggests. Since Adaa ends up accepting the symbol of the man who spent the entire film attempting to dominate her, some have pointed out that this denouement contradicts her prior stance on female empowerment.

Toxic conclusion

As the tragic finale of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat shows, parental pain and unbridled egotism may have devastating effects on a child. Unfortunately, the story comes to a "happy" conclusion with the protagonist's death and the heroine's continued identification with her oppressor. The film tries to rehabilitate a "red flag" character by having Vikram take the bullet meant for Adaa, playing on the old Bollywood theme of the shiddat (passionate) lover. The biggest controversy surrounding the 2025 release is whether the public perceives the tale as a beautiful ending or a troubling celebration of toxic behaviour.
