While the film has received largely positive reactions, some viewers noted pacing issues and moments that felt slightly overdone. AV7 (@AvighnaBanerjee) said, “#EkDeewaneKiDeewaniyat First half= Only 2-3 scenes are impactful. Over the top sequences, cringe dialogues, and mid acting. Only 1 song so far Mera Hua which was decent. The WRITING is a big mess. Direction well, the director is mass-oriented.”
