Ek Din, starring Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan, is now in theatres, and the movie has been making headlines ever since the trailer first came out. While this is Junaid’s third film outing, it also marks Sai’s Bollywood debut.

Social media reactions have already started coming in, and so far, it doesn’t seem to be very positive. Here’s what the audience has to say.

The film’s trailer had everyone excited because it marks Aamir’s reunion with Mansoon Khan after a significant hiatus, and the first look felt all things dreamy. Now, the social media reactions to the film have been rather negative, with some questioning the acting skills, while other wondering whether this was a remake that anyone needed, among other things.

Someone wrote, “#EkDinReview Just watched the film, and I'm not impressed. The writing is below average and the performances are average to say the least. The only saving grace was Sai Pallavi's performance and the title track. Give it a miss.”

Someone wrote an extensive review, and said, “#EkDinReview: Think about it—what’s the difference between “One Day” and “Ek Din”? Just that one has an English title and the other is in Hindi—and that’s pretty much the only difference in the film too. The story feels almost copy-pasted, with just a change in packaging.”

Someone else said, “Started with promise but slowly turns into a tiring watch - weak emotional impact, flat execution & performances that never truly connect. Only one performer keeps the film alive with pure screen presence… rest feels surprisingly outdated.”
