===Critic reviews===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film garnered favourable reviews towards the performances of the lead actors, especially that of [[Shah Rukh Khan]] and [[Divya Bharti]], with the latter receiving high appraisals. Critics have cited that &amp;quot;...she broke the character stereotype&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Divya Bharti birth anniversary: 5 films that&#039;ll remind you that world lost a talented star way ahead of time {{!}} PINKVILLA|url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/news/divya-bharti-birth-anniversary-5-films-ll-remind-you-world-lost-talented-star-way-ahead-time-623128?amp|access-date=2021-06-16|website=www.pinkvilla.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2014, [[Filmfare]] described her performance as &amp;quot;She [Divya Bharti] fit perfectly into the character of a woman dealing with the loss of her husband.

On account of the film&#039;s [[Film score|soundtrack album]] and special mention to the song &#039;Aisi Deewangi&#039;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:4&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;, [[CNN-News18|CNN-IBN]] has said &amp;quot;It was one of the most popular songs of Divya that made people swoon over her as well as the tune.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Box office===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deewana was released on 25 June 1992 to little expectations but had strong opening collections.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=198&amp;amp;catName=MTk5Mg==|title=Boxofficeindia.com|date=14 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014053544/http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=198&amp;amp;catName=MTk5Mg==|archive-date=14 October 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It earned a total of {{INR|77.5 million}} in India and had a worldwide collection of {{INR|162 million}}.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It emerged as the [[List of Bollywood films of 1992|second-highest Indian grossing film of 1992]] with a verdict of &amp;quot;Hit&amp;quot; being given by [[Box office India]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Themes== &lt;br /&gt;
Deewana deals with the central theme of love as well as its restorative and non-repressive power.{{sfn|Mishra|2002|p=6}} In the film, both Ravi and Raja manifest intense love for Kajal (the central protagonist), but the love which Raja possesses takes a higher precedence in the film over that of the former&#039;s (i.e. Ravi) as his love is &#039;undiluted&#039;; a pure form of the same.{{sfn|Chopra|2007|pp=91–96}} He advances to great heights in order to achieve his love and besides being possessive about her,  he is protective too.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=On this day in Bollywood: 26 years of Shah Rukh Khan&#039;s epic debut in &#039;Deewana&#039;|url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/cmcm/on-this-day-in-bollywood-26-years-of-shah-rukh-khans-epic-debut-in-deewana|access-date=2021-06-22|website=Free Press Journal|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Kajal is initially reluctant (because of the dominating [[Society|society]] and the otherwise strict [[patriarchal system]]), but on realizing how her each and every gesture has affected Raja and thereby he has become overwhelmingly passionate (&#039;Deewana&#039;) about her, she throws herself on his arms and lights up the hope of a new yet beautiful life with him.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=26 years of SRK: How his first movie Deewana and upcoming film Zero are similar|url=https://www.asianage.com/amp/entertainment/bollywood/250618/26-years-of-srk-how-his-first-movie-deewana-and-upcoming-film-zero-are-similar.html|access-date=2021-06-29|website=www.asianage.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Being a [[widow]], Kajal knows how society will condemn her on marrying the second time and thus her consequent unwillingness to reciprocate back her feelings to Raja shows exclusively the sanctity of [[Women in India|Indian women]]{{efn|In Indian culture, the issue of a widow marrying again is looked down upon with contempt by the people.}}, as to how they uphold the [[Culture of India|cultural integrity]].{{sfn|Patel|2012|pp=|p=235}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In another aspect, the film depicts how lovers do not hesitate for self-sacrifice and that the energy of love takes hold of oneself and resistance is futile.{{sfn|Mishra|2002|p=6}} For example: In the climax, when Dhirendra Pratap finds out that his gun is devoid of bullets (after subsequently shooting Ravi in an attempt to kill Raja), Ravi in a feat of revenge, moves forward, straps the bomb around his waist, pushes him and in a fatal explosion, both are killed. Thus, Ravi is portrayed as the one sacrificing for the sake of his love while Raja succeeds in getting Kajal. But, this is a complete contrast to the general rule of love traingles{{efn|Here, the previously known conception of love triangles was subjected to a change by completely reversing the usual storyline.}} where the second lead is implied to be an interloper who always died or left. In relevance to this fact, Deewana is considered to be the first pathbreaking love triangle in Bollywood.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Landmark film for lead actors===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Deewana is regarded as one of the finest Indian films based on the [[Social stigma|social stigma]] of [[Women in Hinduism|widow remarriage]]{{sfn|Patel|2012|pp=|p=235}} - by providing an insight into the miserable condition of [[widow]]s in [[Culture of India|Indian society]], exploring their plights and shows how their life can rejuvenate again if not limited by social restrictions and prejudices.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Deewana(1992) Story|url=https://www.indiaforums.com/movie/deewana1992_2059/story|access-date=2021-06-22|website=India Forums|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The film&#039;s [[music]] by the duo [[Nadeem-Shravan]] became a multi-platinum success.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=TUTEJA|first=JOGINDER|title=Nadeem-Shravan: Top 20 soundtracks|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/special/nadeem-shravan-top-20-soundtracks/20210423.htm|access-date=2021-06-22|website=Rediff|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Bharti&#039;s matured and apt performance as Kajal etched her name in the hearts of [[Indian people|Indian audience]]; the film&#039;s title became synonymous with the actress.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2019-02-25|title=45th Birth Anniversary of Divya Bharti: 5 Defining Moments in her Glorious Showbiz Journey|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/45th-birth-anniversary-of-divya-bharti-5-defining-moments-in-her-glorious-showbiz-journey/photostory/68150523.cms|access-date=2021-06-21|website=The Times of India|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   It capitalised on her popularity and she was quoted saying &amp;quot;The super success of Deewana helped me to get rid of my newcomer status and my name was added to the A-List.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Exclusive biography of #DivyaBharti and on her life.|url=https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/divya-bharti/biography.html|access-date=2021-06-21|website=FilmiBeat|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film is also notable for being the debut film of Khan as an actor, and despite his limited screen space in the second half, his much celebrated performance as an [[obsessive love]]r was a major highlight.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Seta|first=Keyur|title=25 years of Deewana: 5 early signs of Shah Rukh Khan&#039;s star potential|url=https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2017/jun/26/6625|access-date=2021-06-21|website=Cinestaan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The song &#039;{{Plain link|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0A6WPBsUHHI|name=Koi Na Koi Chahiye}}&#039; picturised on him has gradually gathered [[cult following]] and has been termed &#039;iconic&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2019-06-26|title=Shah Rukh Khan celebrates 27 years in Bollywood by recreating his debut Deewana&#039;s iconic bike scene|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/shah-rukh-khan-celebrates-27-years-in-bollywood-by-recreating-his-debut-deewana-s-iconic-bike-scene/story-VyDzrANG6JIOijN3qIzFOM.html|access-date=2021-06-21|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ashok Raj described his role in the film as &amp;quot;A small-town commoner who stalks a rich widow to gain access to a prosperous lifestyle.&amp;quot;{{sfn|Raj|2009}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, Deewana remains to be one of the most memorable works of [[Rishi Kapoor|Kapoor]] as a [[Romantic hero|romantic hero]] and one of his last works as a lead actor in the 1990s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-02|title=From Bobby To Deewana, Rishi Kapoor Taught Bollywood the Meaning of Romantic Hero|url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/from-bobby-to-deewana-rishi-kapoor-taught-bollywood-the-meaning-of-romantic-hero-2598857.html|access-date=2021-06-21|website=www.news18.com|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His looks in this film became a [[Innovation|trendsetter]] for himself, as he was seen with the same [[fashion]] in his following films too.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-02|title=Turtle Necks, Mufflers, Bold Colours: How Rishi Kapoor Ruled the Trend of Male Fashion|url=https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/turtle-necks-mufflers-bold-colours-how-rishi-kapoor-ruled-the-trend-of-male-fashion-2599489.html|access-date=2021-06-29|website=News18|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emphasising on the distinctive [[Dress|dressing style]], Speaking Chic comments &amp;quot;In his introductory song&amp;amp;nbsp; Koi Na Koi Chahiye, Shah Rukh Khan donned a [[brown]] [[leather]] [[jacket]], and this became a defining on-screen look for him for many years...

&lt;br /&gt;
===Critic reviews===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film garnered favourable reviews towards the performances of the lead actors, especially that of [[Shah Rukh Khan]] and [[Divya Bharti]], with the latter receiving high appraisals. Critics have cited that &amp;quot;...she broke the character stereotype&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Divya Bharti birth anniversary: 5 films that&#039;ll remind you that world lost a talented star way ahead of time {{!}} PINKVILLA|url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/news/divya-bharti-birth-anniversary-5-films-ll-remind-you-world-lost-talented-star-way-ahead-time-623128?amp|access-date=2021-06-16|website=www.pinkvilla.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2014, [[Filmfare]] described her performance as &amp;quot;She [Divya Bharti] fit perfectly into the character of a woman dealing with the loss of her husband.

On account of the film&#039;s [[Film score|soundtrack album]] and special mention to the song &#039;Aisi Deewangi&#039;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:4&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;, [[CNN-News18|CNN-IBN]] has said &amp;quot;It was one of the most popular songs of Divya that made people swoon over her as well as the tune.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Box office===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deewana was released on 25 June 1992 to little expectations but had strong opening collections.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=198&amp;amp;catName=MTk5Mg==|title=Boxofficeindia.com|date=14 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014053544/http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=198&amp;amp;catName=MTk5Mg==|archive-date=14 October 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It earned a total of {{INR|77.5 million}} in India and had a worldwide collection of {{INR|162 million}}.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It emerged as the [[List of Bollywood films of 1992|second-highest Indian grossing film of 1992]] with a verdict of &amp;quot;Hit&amp;quot; being given by [[Box office India]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Themes== &lt;br /&gt;
Deewana deals with the central theme of love as well as its restorative and non-repressive power.{{sfn|Mishra|2002|p=6}} In the film, both Ravi and Raja manifest intense love for Kajal (the central protagonist), but the love which Raja possesses takes a higher precedence in the film over that of the former&#039;s (i.e. Ravi) as his love is &#039;undiluted&#039;; a pure form of the same.{{sfn|Chopra|2007|pp=91–96}} He advances to great heights in order to achieve his love and besides being possessive about her,  he is protective too.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=On this day in Bollywood: 26 years of Shah Rukh Khan&#039;s epic debut in &#039;Deewana&#039;|url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/cmcm/on-this-day-in-bollywood-26-years-of-shah-rukh-khans-epic-debut-in-deewana|access-date=2021-06-22|website=Free Press Journal|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Kajal is initially reluctant (because of the dominating [[Society|society]] and the otherwise strict [[patriarchal system]]), but on realizing how her each and every gesture has affected Raja and thereby he has become overwhelmingly passionate (&#039;Deewana&#039;) about her, she throws herself on his arms and lights up the hope of a new yet beautiful life with him.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=26 years of SRK: How his first movie Deewana and upcoming film Zero are similar|url=https://www.asianage.com/amp/entertainment/bollywood/250618/26-years-of-srk-how-his-first-movie-deewana-and-upcoming-film-zero-are-similar.html|access-date=2021-06-29|website=www.asianage.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Being a [[widow]], Kajal knows how society will condemn her on marrying the second time and thus her consequent unwillingness to reciprocate back her feelings to Raja shows exclusively the sanctity of [[Women in India|Indian women]]{{efn|In Indian culture, the issue of a widow marrying again is looked down upon with contempt by the people.}}, as to how they uphold the [[Culture of India|cultural integrity]].{{sfn|Patel|2012|pp=|p=235}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In another aspect, the film depicts how lovers do not hesitate for self-sacrifice and that the energy of love takes hold of oneself and resistance is futile.{{sfn|Mishra|2002|p=6}} For example: In the climax, when Dhirendra Pratap finds out that his gun is devoid of bullets (after subsequently shooting Ravi in an attempt to kill Raja), Ravi in a feat of revenge, moves forward, straps the bomb around his waist, pushes him and in a fatal explosion, both are killed. Thus, Ravi is portrayed as the one sacrificing for the sake of his love while Raja succeeds in getting Kajal. But, this is a complete contrast to the general rule of love traingles{{efn|Here, the previously known conception of love triangles was subjected to a change by completely reversing the usual storyline.}} where the second lead is implied to be an interloper who always died or left. In relevance to this fact, Deewana is considered to be the first pathbreaking love triangle in Bollywood.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Landmark film for lead actors===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Deewana is regarded as one of the finest Indian films based on the [[Social stigma|social stigma]] of [[Women in Hinduism|widow remarriage]]{{sfn|Patel|2012|pp=|p=235}} - by providing an insight into the miserable condition of [[widow]]s in [[Culture of India|Indian society]], exploring their plights and shows how their life can rejuvenate again if not limited by social restrictions and prejudices.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Deewana(1992) Story|url=https://www.indiaforums.com/movie/deewana1992_2059/story|access-date=2021-06-22|website=India Forums|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The film&#039;s [[music]] by the duo [[Nadeem-Shravan]] became a multi-platinum success.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=TUTEJA|first=JOGINDER|title=Nadeem-Shravan: Top 20 soundtracks|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/special/nadeem-shravan-top-20-soundtracks/20210423.htm|access-date=2021-06-22|website=Rediff|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Bharti&#039;s matured and apt performance as Kajal etched her name in the hearts of [[Indian people|Indian audience]]; the film&#039;s title became synonymous with the actress.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2019-02-25|title=45th Birth Anniversary of Divya Bharti: 5 Defining Moments in her Glorious Showbiz Journey|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/45th-birth-anniversary-of-divya-bharti-5-defining-moments-in-her-glorious-showbiz-journey/photostory/68150523.cms|access-date=2021-06-21|website=The Times of India|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   It capitalised on her popularity and she was quoted saying &amp;quot;The super success of Deewana helped me to get rid of my newcomer status and my name was added to the A-List.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Exclusive biography of #DivyaBharti and on her life.|url=https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/divya-bharti/biography.html|access-date=2021-06-21|website=FilmiBeat|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film is also notable for being the debut film of Khan as an actor, and despite his limited screen space in the second half, his much celebrated performance as an [[obsessive love]]r was a major highlight.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Seta|first=Keyur|title=25 years of Deewana: 5 early signs of Shah Rukh Khan&#039;s star potential|url=https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2017/jun/26/6625|access-date=2021-06-21|website=Cinestaan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The song &#039;{{Plain link|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0A6WPBsUHHI|name=Koi Na Koi Chahiye}}&#039; picturised on him has gradually gathered [[cult following]] and has been termed &#039;iconic&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2019-06-26|title=Shah Rukh Khan celebrates 27 years in Bollywood by recreating his debut Deewana&#039;s iconic bike scene|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/shah-rukh-khan-celebrates-27-years-in-bollywood-by-recreating-his-debut-deewana-s-iconic-bike-scene/story-VyDzrANG6JIOijN3qIzFOM.html|access-date=2021-06-21|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ashok Raj described his role in the film as &amp;quot;A small-town commoner who stalks a rich widow to gain access to a prosperous lifestyle.&amp;quot;{{sfn|Raj|2009}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, Deewana remains to be one of the most memorable works of [[Rishi Kapoor|Kapoor]] as a [[Romantic hero|romantic hero]] and one of his last works as a lead actor in the 1990s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-02|title=From Bobby To Deewana, Rishi Kapoor Taught Bollywood the Meaning of Romantic Hero|url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/from-bobby-to-deewana-rishi-kapoor-taught-bollywood-the-meaning-of-romantic-hero-2598857.html|access-date=2021-06-21|website=www.news18.com|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His looks in this film became a [[Innovation|trendsetter]] for himself, as he was seen with the same [[fashion]] in his following films too.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-02|title=Turtle Necks, Mufflers, Bold Colours: How Rishi Kapoor Ruled the Trend of Male Fashion|url=https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/turtle-necks-mufflers-bold-colours-how-rishi-kapoor-ruled-the-trend-of-male-fashion-2599489.html|access-date=2021-06-29|website=News18|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Emphasising on the distinctive [[Dress|dressing style]], Speaking Chic comments &amp;quot;In his introductory song&amp;amp;nbsp; Koi Na Koi Chahiye, Shah Rukh Khan donned a [[brown]] [[leather]] [[jacket]], and this became a defining on-screen look for him for many years...
