Ekk Deewana Tha

Prateik Babbar is an outstanding actor whose got a lot to offer. He proves in this film that he can do what ever a hero is supposed to do ACT, DANCE and FIGHT. His character in this film is a true depiction of how 20+ guys act these days. Props to the direction as well for highlighting that so well. Also Amy Jackson's performance was notably well seeing that she hasn't really done any Hindi bollywood films before.

The story on the other hand is pure yet simple love story with regular issues people face and the pace of the film matched the plot. Though I would have loved to see a bit more drama.

If your looking to see a light relaxing sort of film, this definitely falls into that category.

Another remake of Gautham Menon from his own Tamil movie. A Telegu version was made after the Tamil one. So, this Hindi version is the 3rd version or 2nd remake of the original one.

Nowadays, a lot of Hindi movies are being remaked from Tamil originals. And, people who follows Tamil movies believes that Tamil movies are big time ahead of Hindi Cinema. So, we see a lot of frustration from those audiences who watched either of the two early versions of Ekk Deewana Tha!

However, I will recommend to those who loves romantic bollywood films and hadn't seen any of those early two versions, should watch. I really loved the movie, though it have some technical issues. Pratiek Babbar did a really nice job with the leading role of Sachin, a wanna be film maker who makes himself a successful one at the end of the story. He falls in love with his neighbor Jassi and chases his love with the struggle of being a filmmaker. The movie has lots of good music by A R Rahman. Amy Jackson played the role of Jassi and did an OK job with her Bollywood debut. She is a stunning British beauty and its really a treat watching her on screen! Kerala is another beauty of the film with some lovely cinematography.

Director Gautham Menon did his job handsomely keeping a good slow pace without any monotonous pause till the end. Overall a good 7/10 romantic bollywood film with some good cinematography and music!

A movie for all the lovers....people who are passionate,enthusiastic and have an emotional side.The movie reminded me of old beautiful legends of Hindi which were truly based on love.Today love stories are not LOVE STORIES only...they have a mixture of comedy,action ...and thats why people dint like this movie.

acting:superb !! storyline:emotional and realistic.

Amy was stunning !she has a great career ahead!

all those scenes when the guy is spellbound by the girl's charm are treat to the eyes.you remain on the edge throughout the movie although its a romantic one.

The movie made an after effect which today's movies lack totally! i highly recommend dis movie..go watch it with your love u'll enjoy it sincerely!

I have watched this movie several times. Several means really several. This movie is very close to my heart. Every scene, dialogue are just awesome. How can one make such a cute movie. This is one of my all time favorite. Ohh... i always feel my eyes wet while watching. Last scene, the meeting at Tajmahal... OMG...

I have watched the original Tamil 3-4 times so far and I like most of the one-lines , subtle and non-gross humor. Also the fantastic music.

But the Hindi version might have lost something in translation. I watched it but its not a bad movie. I agree that the supporting cast has done a better job than the new hero-heroine. And the ending makes all the twists and turns pointless. But I guess Gautam menon was not sure if the Hindi audience would accept the same Tamil ending. I hope that someone who has fallen in love with a girl and lost her would be able to relate to the story. For the same reason, I urge all to watch the director's cut version with the alternate ending.

But still the movie is not as bad like the critics have reviewed. The whole point of the movie is that this is a story about a 22 year old boy who is acting like a 19 year and a girl who is confused and prefer to suffer than go against her parents. Don't expect super melodrama or cheap comedy or item numbers. I have lost count of friends who have told its their story.

I give 7 stars because of the dialogs, music, camera, good performances by support cast.
