Shah Rukh Khan's Debut Film Deewana Turns 32
While we thank our stars for all the good things they have aligned for us in this lifetime and list them all down, most of us have Shah Rukh Khan on that list. The majority of us may never even meet him, but his existence itself is a gift for the fans. The lover boy who could do anything for his lady love is on a trajectory that King Khan marked his attendance on and never really let go. His debut film Deewana has so many facets to it, and even the behind-the-scenes drama is iconic. The movie was released exactly 32 years ago today. This means that today is also Shah Rukh’s 32nd anniversary as an actor and the superstar we all love. So what better time than today to revisit Deewana? Read on to learn everything you should about the same below.
Released on June 25, 1992, Deewana stars Rishi Kapoor, Divya Bharti, and Shah Rukh Khan in pivotal roles. The movie had two massive stars of their times, with Shah Rukh making his debut, and it was indeed the talk of the town back in the day. The story revolves around a singer played by Kapoor who marries his biggest fan, but it is her uncle who becomes the roadblock in their lives. He tries to kill the singer to take revenge and gain his money. The film was directed by Raj Kunwar and was hailed by fans back in the day. However, the wait for Shah Rukh is longer in this one.
Yes, Shah Rukh Khan is in the second half of the film and nowhere in the first. The first half is all about Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti, with Khan entering their dynamic in the second half. However, his performance was so loved by the audience that he became a sensation overnight, and everyone was excited to know who he was and when they would get to see the charming man next. Khan even won the Best Debut Filmfare for his performance in Deewana.

Deewana has had a very long satellite TV run with much love coming its way, and we are pretty sure it continues even today. But with the advent of streaming and the option to tune into a movie at one's convenience, we look out for options on OTT. It turns out there are multiple ways to watch the Shah Rukh Khan, Rishi Kapoor, and Divya Bharti starrer. The film is streaming on ShemarooMe, Disney+ Hotstar, and Prime Video. You can even watch the film with your OTTplay Premium subscription on ShemarooMe. What are you waiting for, then?
Deewana opened to a rather lukewarm response on the big screens with empty theatres and not much buzz, but with time the buzz intensified, and soon word of mouth did its magic. The film turned out to be a blockbuster in no time. Shah Rukh Khan’s debut film was on the big screen for 50 weeks, making it a golden jubilee film, which was an achievement and a milestone for a debutant. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more information on this and everything else in the world of streaming and films.
