Ekk Deewana Tha (Hindi:
एक दीवाना था; English:
There was a Passionate Lover) is a 2012 Hindi language romantic drama film, written and directed by Gautham Menon, featuring Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson in their Bollywood debut, and in lead roles.
This film is a remake of Gautham Menon's own Tamil film,
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, which also got remade into Telugu as
Ye Maaya Chesave in 2010, featuring soundtrack and film score composed by A. R. Rahman, while the cinematography and editing are handled by M. S. Prabhu and Anthony Gonsalves, respectively. Singer Chinmayi
has provided the talking voice of the female lead, reprising her role
from the original Tamil version and the Telugu remake where she dubbed
for actresses Trisha Krishnan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu respectively.
While on production stage, the film was titled
Prem Katha, but was renamed as
Ekk Deewana Tha, as the director wanted some abstract title for the movie, similar to the original.
The film, produced by Fox Star Studios, a subsidiary of Hollywood studio 20th Century Fox , Photon Kathaas
and R.S. Infotainment was released on 17th February 2012 in two
different versions with a number of endings to suit the taste of
regional viewers.
The film opened to overwhelmingly negative reviews by Indian film critics and has done very poorly at the Indian box office.
