Sagar Sarhadi wrote the screenplay based on a story by Ranbir Pushp. Guddu Dhanoa, Lalit Kapoor and Raju Kothari had co-produced the film under the banner, Mayank Arts. The cinematography was handled by Harmeet Singh while A. Muthu edited it. The duo Nadeem-Shravan composed the award-winning soundtrack for the film with lyrics penned by Sameer. The muhurat shot for the film took place on 14 July 1991.
Kajal, a beautiful young lady, falls in love with Ravi, a rich and handsome man. They happily marry with the blessings of Ravi's mother, Lakshmi Devi. Ravi's greedy uncle Dhirendra and cousin Narendra are disappointed to hear of this, because they are next in line to inherit the family's vast wealth after Ravi. Dhirendra hires hoodlums to murder Ravi. The hoodlums, along with Narendra, try to murder Ravi. During the struggle, Ravi manages to kill his cousin Narendra and both of them topple over a cliff. The hoodlums flee. The news reaches Ravi's family. Widowed and depressed, Kajal moves to another city along with Ravi's mother Lakshmi Devi.
Raja, a handsome, rich and good-hearted guy riding a motorcycle, accidentally knocks down Lakshmi Devi on the street, takes her to her home, and thus meets Kajal. He falls in love with Kajal, and tries to express it, but she cuts him short and reveals that she was already married and now a widow. Taken aback briefly, Raja returns with his suit, but Kajal continues to resist his advances. Raja's rich father, Ramakant, dislikes the idea of his son marrying a widow and tries to get rid of Kajal. After this, Raja quarrels with his father and begs Lakshmi Devi for her permission to marry her widowed daughter-in-law. Lakshmi Devi persuades Kajal to marry Raja, saying that Kajal has a long life ahead of her, she has no child, and will be totally alone after Lakshmi Devi's death. Kajal finally accepts at her mother-in-law's behest. Lakshmi Devi conveys the acceptance to Raja, but she also tells him how reluctant Kajal was, and advises him that even after the wedding, he should go slow and not approach Kajal in a sexual way until she genuinely, in a heartfelt way, accepts him as her husband.
News of Raja's forthcoming engagement is the last straw for his father, who throws him out without further ado. Raja now has to look for a job. His friends open a garage with him. He meets with an accident and is hospitalised. Kajal rushes to see and realises that she is also in love with him. They admit their feelings for each other.
A man is attacked by a gang of ruffians waiting to rob him, and Raja saves him. They soon become good friends. Little does Raja know that this man is none other than Kajal's first husband and Lakshmi Devi's much-mourned son, Ravi.
When Raja introduces Ravi to Kajal, she is shocked to learn that Ravi survived Dhirendra's attempt to murder him. However, she stays with Raja. Dhirendra learns about Ravi. He kidnaps Kajal and Raja, demanding Ravi's property in exchange. Raja escapes and beats Dhirendra along with Ravi. They find Kajal tied up with a bomb strapped around her. Ravi manages to stop the bomb timer. Dhirendra returns to kill Raja. Ravi pushes him and sets the bomb off, causing a large explosion that kills both. Raja and Kajal honor Ravi for his sacrifice.
Kanwar had several actors in mind for the role of Raja. Some of them included Armaan Kohli, Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Govinda and Telugu actor Nagarjuna.[6] Kohli had shot for it a few days, but later opted out citing a misunderstanding between him and Shabnam Kapoor (wife of Lalit Kapoor, one of the producers of the film) on the sets of Insaaf Ki Devi (1992).[4] Shah Rukh Khan, then a budding artist, was finally selected.[7] Kanwar had liked his performance in Circus and Dil Dariya and thus suggested his name to the producers.[3] He worked in the film alongside his prior commitments to Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992), his other film which was supposed to mark his debut.[4] He expressed his enjoyment on hearing that [Rishi Kapoor] was also a part of the film.[4]
Principal photography took place in and around Mumbai and Ooty, being handled by Harmeet Singh.[8][9] B. H. Tarun Kumar was the choreographer while Ram Shetty and Harish Shetty were the action directors.[9] Leena Daru acted as the costume designer.[9] Songs were shot at various locations in Ooty, such as the Botanical Gardens and Ooty Lake.[10] After filming ended by early 1992, it was edited by A. Muthu.[9]
The soundtrack album features 7 songs composed by Nadeem-Shravan, a duo. Sameer wrote the lyrics and Kumar Sanu (singing for Kapoor), Sadhana Sargam, Alka Yagnik (both singing for Bharti), and Vinod Rathod (singing for Khan) performed the vocals. The album sold between 7 million and 8 million units,[12] making it the best-selling Bollywood soundtrack album of 1992.[13]
The soundtrack was #79 on the list of "100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks of All Time", as compiled by Planet Bollywood.[14] News18 included "Aisi Deewangi" as one of the "5 Memorable Songs of Divya Bharti" and raved about her presence in it by saying that it made "people swoon over her as well the tune. Her effortless beauty, along with her charming on-screen chemistry with Shahrukh Khan multiplied the X-Factors and made it a delightful watch."[15] Rediff listed it among the "10 Amazing Nadeem-Shravan songs".[16]
Modern film reviewers, however, appreciated Deewana. In 2007, the author Anupama Chopra described the film as a "crude and melodramatic" work, with Khan's performance being "equally loud". She said that the film established his position as a leading actor of Hindi cinema, despite his "over-the-top" performance.[27] Rachit Gupta of Filmfare in 2014 stated, "Divya seemed at ease sharing screen space with Rishi Kapoor. She also matched Shah Rukh Khan's manic intensity emotion to emotion. She fit perfectly into the character of a woman dealing with the loss of her husband."[28] In 2018, Sampada Sharma from The Indian Express wrote that her performance is unforgettable, adding, "From playing a newly married girl to being the one who is at a crossroads in her life, Deewana was Divya's film and she delivered a performance that was applause-worthy."[29]
Deewana deals with the central theme of love.[34] [Raj Kanwar] had compared the role of [Divya Bharti] to that of female roles in his other films like Laadla (1994), Jaan (1996), Jeet (1996) and Judaai (1997) stating that they all were "strong female characters", portraying either the plight of women or displaying the acting prowess of the respective actresses.[3] The film also shows how individuals become "obsessed" while in love, through the character of [Khan].[35] He himself talked about this as a lesson he learnt from the film while at University of Edinburgh to receive an honorary degree.[36] Several critics compared [Rishi Kapoor]'s role to that in Chandni (1989) for in both the films, he was portrayed as the sacrificing husband.[37] In another aspect, [Deewana] emerged as the pathbreaking Bollywood love triangle with its storyline portraying the first lover to be sacrificer, a reversal to the general rule.[38]
Deewana has been regarded as one of the earliest Indian films based on the social stigma of widow remarriage.[39] The film's music, composed by the duo Nadeem-Shravan, became a multi-platinum success.[40] Bharti's performance fetched her critical appreciation; the film's title became synonymous with her.[41] The film is also notable for being the film debut of Shah Rukh Khan.[42] Despite having limited screen presence in the second half of the film, his portrayal of an obsessive lover achieved him a major career breakthrough.[43] The song "Koi Na Koi Chahiye" picturised on him has gradually gathered a cult following.[44] Ashok Raj described his role as "A small-town commoner who stalks a rich widow to gain access to a prosperous lifestyle."[45] News18 remarks that Kapoor's "filmography came to a head" with Deewana and that it remains it to be one of his most memorable works, his fashion in the film being considered a trendsetter for himself.[46][47]
The film has been referenced many times in the following years. In Pehla Nasha (1993), Khan says to Deepak Tijori, "You have done a miracle (Chamatkar) gentleman, I have become a crazy fan ([Deewana]) of you."[54] Moreover, in the "Chennai Express Special - Part 2" episode of the popular television sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Popatlal dances along the song "Koi Na Koi Chahiye".[55] The film's poster is shown in the film Dhanak.[56] A footage from Deewana is also shown in Fan.[57]
