Deewangee is a conventional commercial thriller that prioritizes genre clichés over progressive representation. The narrative relies on the 'obsessive lover' archetype and psychological tension to drive its mystery. The film operates within a traditionalist framework, focusing on individual romantic pursuits rather than systemic critique. It maintains the social hierarchies and gender roles common to early 2000s Bollywood cinema. While neurodivergence is present, it is used as a tool for suspense rather than a meaningful exploration of disability. This reliance on clichés limits the film's depth regarding multi-layered identities.
