‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ has now begun to slow down at the box office and near the end of its theatrical run. The film minted its lowest number on third Monday which is day 21. The Harshvardhan Rane, Sonam Bajwa starrer had clashed at the box office with ‘Thamma’ on Diwali and has now managed to touch the Rs 75 crore mark, thus proving to be a dark horse, despite much lesser screens.The second week total of the film came to Rs 16.3 crore. On Friday, day 18, the film made Rs 70 lakhs. However, it saw unexpected growth on Saturday, day 19 due to holiday. It collected Rs 1.25 crore on Saturday. On Sunday, the film made Rs 1.5 crore and saw a dip on Monday, making Rs 50 lakhs. The total collection of the film as per Sacnilk is now Rs 75.45 crore. Meanwhile, ‘Thamma’ which had also made only Rs 80 lakhs on Friday, saw a slight upward trajectory on Saturday and Sunday, thus making Rs 1.5 crore and Rs 1.65 crore on both days. On Monday, day 21, it minted even less than ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’, which is only s 35 lakhs. The total collection of the Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna starrer is now Rs 131.40 crore.The combined Diwali total of around ₹200 crore nett combining the collection of both the movies, is underwhelming as per Box Office India, largely due to the underperformance of ‘Thamma’. While ‘Ek Deewana Ki Deewaniyat’ has punched above its weight, festive weekends are typically driven by the bigger release, and ‘Thamma’ couldn’t deliver on that front. Even so, this Diwali frame has fared better than Eid and Independence Day weeks, thanks to ‘Ek Deewana Ki Deewaniyat’ outperforming expectations.
