Backed by Aamir Khan, Ek Din hit the big screens on May 1. The movie marks the Bollywood debut of Sai Pallavi, who will be seen next in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. Son of Aamir Khan, Junaid Khan, plays the lead role in the movie, which marks his third release. Despite a strong backing, the movie failed to generate enough buzz among cinegoers.
Social media users who caught the early shows of Ek Din took to their X (formerly Twitter) account to share their first impression of the film. While some social media users heaped praises on the romance drama, most found the film ‘disappointing’. The story, screenplay and songs of the movie received a unanimous thumbs up online. However, most reviews criticised the slow narration and lacklustre performance.
#EkDin was a beautiful light hearted love story.. the visuals, songs were amazing ❤️?. The performances made it even more good. The chemistry between lead pair was very nice. Gives you a kind of kdrama feels.

#EkDin is a DISAPPOINTING affair. Junaid & Sai tried hard but couldn’t save it. I’d often say #AamirKhan productions is a production house with ZERO bad films. Unfortunately, they delivered TWO back to back mid films in a single year 2026 - #HappyPatel in January & now EK DIN ?

Ek Din is a perfect example of how to not make a Remake, It’s not a Remake it’s just a Frame to Frame copy of ‘One Day’
Positives : #SaiPallavi is the only positive in the Movie, She is Charming, Her Eyes speaks the sequences, Generational… pic.twitter.com/q0yHuN3oSx
