'Ek Din,' a romantic drama featuring Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan, premiered in cinemas on May 1, 2023. The film has sparked a wave of mixed reactions on social media, with some viewers expressing disappointment over its perceived lack of originality and an unimpressive title. Critics have noted a growing fatigue with remakes and adaptations, particularly given the involvement of Aamir Khan's production banner, known for high-quality films. However, not all feedback has been negative. Film critic Subhash K Jha praised the film for its gentle and heartfelt depiction of love, highlighting its absence of aggression and violence. He described the film as a refreshing choice that embraces tenderness, with Japan serving as an essential backdrop that shapes the narrative. Directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, 'Ek Din' marks Sai Pallavi's entry into Hindi cinema. The film adapts the core narrative of the 2016 Thai film 'One Day,' focusing on the protagonist Rohan, who wishes for a single day to connect with his coworker Meera during an official trip to Japan, leading to a fleeting yet meaningful love story.
