Ekk Deewana Tha has its moments but it doesn't really put you in the mood for love

Ekk Deewana Tha, originally made in Tamil, takes the route of extreme ardor. Love isn't a walk in the park here; it is the war of life itself, a battle that envelops those involved and almost consumes them. (more)

EKK DEEWANA THA has a few sparkling moments, that's about it.

The screenplay totters and flounders the moment Jessie decides to part ways. The justification offered is least persuasive.(more)

Ek Deewana Tha brings back that hoary tradition of love-at-first-sight .

Ekk Deewana Tha will go largely unnoticed by the audience.

Gautham Menon's story is the usual boy-meets-girl and hurdles-in-love story. The screenplay, also penned by Gautham Menon, is full of holes and doesn't involve the viewer. The love story is so half-baked that at no point of time does the audience feel empathy for the two lovers. (more)

It's a slow screenplay where the director hopes to convey the couple's despair with their inability to come together. For a scenario like this, performances must be superlative to engage the viewer.
