Ekk Deewana Tha

just watched "ekk deewana tha" it's like cheap gum with very little juice in it. so MR director thought of stretching it in playful-mood for good 130 minutes to just say their was a boy and a girl who fall in love by just watching each other awfully great. amy looks Beautiful but fake like d woman who sell detergent on TV. prateik was good compared to other star cast but he was soda without gas u can see few bubbles but no fizz. only songs had sum juice in them. some how i felt it was a alien movie. better if they made a music video. "Ekk deewana tha (director) "Ekk paagal tha (amy) "Ekk awara tha (prateik).

so if u r no Awara Paagal Deewana just AVOID....

A romantic films must have objections! Here culturally, religiously and geographically diff origins. Love birds are strict south keralian Christian girls Dad, with Bombay Marathi boy. They are recent graduates strictly and happy go lucky, young man rush all included. Chasing the girl, hitting the girls brother in afight added hurdles! Some how girl sent to Kerala where wedding in community planned. Boy also visits church ceremony with a friend! Girl says NO to wedding too! Boy is now deeply touched by the bold attitudes. The boy likes a career in film photography. Mr Ramesh Sippy guest appearance knitted! Boy has dreams ideas and hard work away from routine and a foccussed life again few twists turns leading to end with a good using a brain simple steady protocols. A fresh feeling in Pratik Ami with many new decorative pieces film gives a satisfying out come.

In all honesty I've not seen the Tamil or Telugu version of this movie. But it seems people that have seen them don't seem to like the Hindi version.

I was awaiting this film before even seeing the trailer. Once I saw the trailer I got even more excited. Loved most of the songs and finally went and saw the movie 1st Day 1st Show. Unfortunately I was the only person in the movie theater. That was kinda odd but cool at the same time.

The 2hr 45min film's biggest flaw is it's slow pace. But it makes up for it thanks to the super awesome songs, Kerala has been shot wonderfully, Prateik Babbar's brilliant acting. I hope he becomes the industry's biggest star. Amy Jackson did really well considering she's a first timer and looked gorgeous. The story was beautiful as well.

On the whole I'm happy with the product. The film failed at the box office which is quite unfortunate. I hope Gautam Menon continues to direct Hindi movies in the future. If you haven't seen the Tamil / Telugu version, watch Ekk Deewana Tha. If you have seen the Tamil / Telugu version ... no comments.

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!

First of all, I heartily apologize to all the people (my friends, colleagues and blog mates) for seriously recommending you the movie; I did it just because I thought (like every Tollywood fan) that the movie is a remake of Tamil super hit "Vinnaaithandi Vaaruvaayaa". To my utter disappointment, the movie is actually remake of Telugu semi hit "Ye Maaya Chesaave".

To all those who have no idea about VTV or YMC, let me clear the clouds. Gautam Menon directed VTV (Vinnaithandi Varuvaayaa), starring Silambarasan and Trisha. The movie due to its unusual climax is considered to be a classic love story. Next, Gautam directed the same movie in Telugu language with Nag Chaitanya (on recommendation by his father Nagarjuna) and Samantha, with exactly opposite ending than the Tamil one. YMC received an average response from public as well as critics.

Now, Gautam Menon has selected the conventional climax of Ye Maaya Chesaave, rather than VTV, and that is what will make this film a sure deserved flop! I personally did not like YMC at all, and this Hindi movie is actually a remake of YMC! I am feeling cheated Mr. Menon!

It takes a lifetime of a filmmaker to deliver a masterpiece movie. But if the filmmaker himself doesn't cherish about it, then it seems that the movie was a masterpiece rather by fluke.

I am not even interested to review this movie further, but I will do it just for the sake of formality.

Cast: Prateik Babbar excels as Sachin, the lesser said about Ammy Jackson is better. Manu Rishi is noteworthy.

Story And Screenplay: Nothing new in "this" version of movie and the screenplay is extremely weak with no subplots and overdose of songs.

Editing And Cinematography: Editing is poor, cinematography is first rate.

Music And Background Score: I chose not to review EDT's music as I can't move on from VTV and YMC's music. Background Score is remastered and is brilliant.

Direction: Sorry Mr. Menon, you have just lost a loyal fan!

Verdict:Please avoid this film.Period.
