Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Wow! Such a good movie.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I have seen mixed comments on this movie - I have not seen it's Tamil Original but personally I'll rank it among one of my bests. I have a reason to do so - I could relate every bit of it to my own love life (needless to say it was in total mess at that time). Feeling it personally makes a movie good or bad to watch. For me - it touched me. Other than that - this movie has an excellent couple of good songs. Prateik and Amy have given their bests and were totally into it while shooting. Specially the scene on the park of Taj Mahal - deep down into it, Prateik have given it a real touch. Prateik danced wonderfully great, but Amy lacked in this part. Worth a watch.

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!

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.

SPOILER: Ekk Dewanna Tha is a routine love story which again falls in the typical section of Bollywood love stories. As usual, Bollywood copies either Hollywood or Tollywood. And this time, its Tollywood. A hit Tamil movie is remade in Hindi. The movie is actually worth watching because it is better than all those silly action movies like Bodyguard but Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu beats this any day. The problem with the movie is the romance. Being a romantic cinema where a they can't marry because of parents, the story has clichés. The romance isn't convincing, the locations of the film are good, Kerela is a wonderful location for a romantic movie. But, the chemistry of Prateik and Amy Jackson isn't good. Pratiek has barely done any movies but his acting is natural. Here, his acting is above average but what can he do if the script is bad. The storytelling process is routine and after a few moments, the movies drags and gets boring. The climax is okay, better than most movies. But, the problem is typical and I believe the tamil cinema was better than this. Acting wise, Prateik does a damn good job, but he needs to choose better films. Amy Jackson has the looks, has the beauty, but her acting isn't at her best level, I definitely thought she could've done better. Supporting actors like Sachin Khedkar fill the bill and they provide some decent comedy when the romantic venture bore. The film is dragged too much and a few people were bored and left the hall. If Prateik wants to improve, he must choose a movie like Dumb Maaro Dumb or Dhobi Ghaat where he was awesome and the movies were good too. The movie might click but according to many critics and based on the box office opening, the movie has enough chances to be a flop. But, it won't be a disaster, it is still watchable but I don't recommend. But, the one awesome thing the movie has is the music. Hosanna is an awesome song and the Suno Lo Zaara is also pretty good. The other songs are good and this is one advantage, but the film is a bit messed up though supporting actors do a good job.
