I honestly NEVER thought this film would be SRK's debut film. I thought Dil Aashna Hai would've been his debut and Deewana would be his breakthrough. But then again, DAH was supposed to be his debut film until it delayed a few months but thank God this film was SRK's first released film otherwise DAH would've sucked for him. Ravi (Rishi Kapoor) is a very rich and popular singer who meets and falls in love with Kajal (Divya Bharti) a poor village girl who is a big fan of Ravi. They get married and Ravi's mother (Sushma Seth) gives them a grand welcome, much to the detest of his uncle Virendra Pratap Singh (Amrish Puri) and his son and Ravi's cousin Narender (Mohnish Behl). Virendra is greedy for Ravi's wealth and would do anything to get his dirty mitts on it, so he plans on killing his nephew via Narender and his plan went backfired as Ravi was thrown off a cliff while Narender was stabbed to death. Ravi's mom and Kajal flee to avoid Virendra's next attack to and here come Raja (Shahrukh khan) to come into Kajal's new life and falling in love with her. He starts stalking her, following her, writing her name on his arm and begging her mother-in-law him to marry her, who is unable to move on from her first marriage. But after the persuasion of her mother-in-law, she finally agrees and they got married. However, more problems show when Ravi makes his return and Kajal facing a dilemma on her future. Also Virendra still trying to accomplish his goal of owning the wealth.Now let me remind you that bigamy is NEVER an issue when it comes to having more one spouse in India. But there are some questions that lead to the issue.How long has it been since Ravi was presumed dead? and if it was short, then shouldn't the marriage continue with Ravi and Kajal? These types of questions still come in mind whenever i watch this movie. But then again, it is a Bollywood movie and sometimes questions are best not answered and enjoy the movie. This movie is a romantic and an action film with a lot of musical dance numbers which by the way are terrific in the movie. I just don't really like the plot of the movie because it just gets confusing in the end. And the fact that it might have a sequel will clearly get more confusing than this. Performance wise: I clearly did not understand why Mohnish Behl was in the film. Hell, why did he do villain roles like this? Be it Sabse Bada Khiladi, Aashiq Awara, and even this film. He is clearly wasted in roles like this. The only movies i liked him in was HSSH, HAHK, Baaghi and MPK. Otherwise he is wasted in the film. Amrish Puri was one of a kind in most of his movies, this example is why Puri was named "India's greatest villain" God rest his soul. Sushma Seth was okay but she can never pull a Nirupa Roy or a Raakhee in mother roles like this. Alok Nath was okay in a short role and so was Dalip Tahil. Now, the hero of the film, Rishi Kapoor. Seriously? You putted a chubby, 40-year old man (back in the day) to romance a teenage debut who hasn't even developed adulthood yet? Come on guys. And yet, his dance skills, action sequences, and dramatic scenes are literally just awful. The only thing i liked about him in the movie is his expressions and dialogue delivery. Otherwise, he needs to lose weight in a film like this. Divya Bharti was amazing on her debut. She was mesmerizing and her expressions, dance skills with fatty Kapoor, dramatic sequences and her role transition was terrific. I'm shocked she passed away at a young age though. She would've carried the legacy of Bollywood actresses like Kajol, Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi and become a successful actress. God rest her soul though. But here is one of the reasons why the movie was considered a blockbuster back in the day and the saving grace of the film, and that is the King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan. This is how SRK became the KING of Bollywood and that is delivering one of the greatest performances and having the best debut possible. His expressions, his dialogues, and his emotions are considered the best and considered a legacy. Don't believe me? watch him carry this legacy in Baazigar, Darr, Anjaam, and the Don series. Basically, SRK saved the film onto becoming a disastrous confusion with his acting skills in play. i honestly THANK GOD Armaan Kohli was NOT in the film and SRK replaced him. His career was destroyed and him in the movie would make it the hugest flop possible. Kohli can never pull a role right. In fact, he should take some acting lessons from SRK and actually learn what it's like to be an actor.The other reason why it's considered a blockbuster was the music. I honestly love every song and every single one of them are my favourites. It's an album you cannot miss out. Nadeem-Shravan's second third awarded soundtrack won't disappoint you. I wish they can come back and make music like this again, otherwise I miss Nadeem-Shravan and their music. They need to come back and show other music directors who's boss (of course not A.R.Rahman and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) Overall, the plot is one aspect i do not like in the movie. Other than that, great music and watch the film for 3 of the greatest performances. Amrish Puri, Divya Bharati (God rest their souls), and above all, Shahrukh Khan!!

"Deewana is ShahRukh Khan's Debut Movie, Though His Appearance Shows on Second Half of the movie. This is a Love Triangle in 90s Era in Bollywood. The film is divided in 2 chapters of the Girl's Love life. The story and the Script is quite good. But The Direction of the movie is not so good. Due to the Bad Direction the Movie doesn't look so appealing. In terms of Acting Only Shahrukh Khan Did justice in his character though it was his First Film but in-spite of that he did a great job. Even He Won the most Prestigious Award in Bollywood The Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut . and the rest of the Others acting is Decent. Nothing More to say about this movie actually, Only the story and The acting Of Shahrukh khan is the main thing to watch this movie. VERDICT:- 4 STARS/10. (ABOVE AVERAGE)

Srk's first film had to be DIL AASHNA HAI(1992) but DEEWANA released before DAH was Hema Malini's directorial debut too while the film got delayed and bombedDEEWANA was a hit and it was Raj Kanwar's directorial debut too The film is divided in 2 chapters The first half shows a romance between an aged 40+ plus and chubby and fat Rishi kapoor and newcomer and perplexed late Divya Bharati the romance isn't too involving and the songs too are too many yet the turn of events are well handledThe second half focuses on SRK who loves the widow Divya Bharati and he marries her but as soon as they get close to each other Rishi returns and the rest is a clichéd Hindi film The film is well handled by Raj Kanwar though clichéd and formula driven yet the drama and the romance(in parts) is well handledMusic is a winner, most songs are a rage though too many songs Rishi looks too fat and old for his role but acts well Divya is okay, she wasn't too a great actress and looked too wooden as an actress yet here she does quite okay SRK for his debut is sincere and i miss this SRK nowdays he plays his part well though he was too awkward and there were rough edges Amrish Puri plays his 100000000th villain role Mohinish Behl is adequate Alok Nath is okay Sushma Seth is typecast

If you skip the first half of the film, which is incredibly boring and stars an elderly very pudgy Indian star on the decline, you will probably find enjoyment in the second half. The film comes to life for the first time after the intermission when Shahrukh Khan appears on a motorcycle, thank heavens. He just makes the screen come alive as soon as he appears. Although some of his actions after he first falls in love seem extremely melodramatic (like carving the girls name into his arm with a knife....this is not Darr after all, as once he wins the girl he's a nice sweet very understanding guy really) much else is quite entertaining. Liked his first song and parts of his song with the girl. Choreography seems non existent in that song but Shahrukh always moves nicely. I liked his dialogue in the bedroom on their first night. I liked the part where the first husband comes to the party and the results. I also thought the ending was quite good with some flaws. All in all a nice debut film for Shahrukh (just zip right through that first half or use the scenes subcategory to do so).
