Viral Video: Harshvardhan Rane is overjoyed as his new film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat becomes a surprise box office hit. Despite limited shows during Diwali, the romantic drama has collected Rs 34 crore in India within just four days. For Rane, this success feels special after his earlier film Sanam Teri Kasam failed to perform well.
To thank his fans, Harshvardhan and his co-star Sonam Bajwa travelled to Gujarat. They visited a theatre screening their film, where Rane spoke to the audience and expressed his gratitude. A video from the visit has now gone viral online.
Harshvardhan Rane Viral Video: Actor Thanks Fans For Supporting His Film
In the viral video, the actor is seen thanking fans for their love and support. “This Diwali, you supported the films of two outsiders. Ayushmann Khurrana’s film has released along with mine. Watch both the films, please, and enjoy both. This sends a good message out that aap logon ne akele poora ka poora Bollywood se nepotism hi khatm kar diya (you people alone finished nepotism from the entire Bollywood),” he said, as the crowd cheered loudly.
He continued, “I hope you like it. And those of you in your family who haven’t watched it, please come once again with them.” His humble words won hearts online and showed how thankful he is for the support.
But the internet had mixed reactions to this viral video. Many appreciated Harshvardhan’s excitement and message, but some pointed out that he didn’t mention his co-star Sonam Bajwa or Thamma actress Rashmika Mandanna.
Read some online comments on Reddit below after watching this viral video:
“Bechari Sonam soch rhi h mujhe credit dega ya nhi.”
“He seems like such an a**hole.”
“Rashmika aur sonam ko bhi mention kar deta.”
“2 outsiders sunke jitni passionately Sonam Bajwa ne yes krke confirm kiya….she thought uski naam lega….but Harshvardhan toh.”
“Bechare Sonam and Rashmika.”
“Narcissism ki bhi seema hoti hai, harsh bhai.”
“Thamma kab success bani? Collections are nosediving even on weekend.”
“Sonam Bajwa ka toh naam le leta kam se kaam jo tere saath hi khadi thi, woh bhi toh outsider hai, aur Thamma ki Rashmika bhi.”
Thamma And Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Box Office Performance
Meanwhile, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat continues to perform well. Directed by Milap Zaveri, the film has now crossed Rs 45 crore worldwide on a Rs 25 crore budget, making it a hit. The success marks a major moment in Rane’s career and proves that audiences love good stories over big names.
At the same time, Thamma, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and starring Rashmika Mandanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is doing even better. The horror comedy has collected Rs 78 crore net in India and Rs 110 crore gross worldwide since its Diwali release.
Both films show that different genres can succeed when audiences connect with the story. For Harshvardhan Rane, though, this win is personal. After years of struggle, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has given him the recognition he always deserved.
