About Deewana
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 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.
