Ek Din Opens Weak at Box Office as Praise for Sai Pallavi Meets Tepid Word of Mouth

The slow start signals an uncertain theatrical run for Aamir Khan ProductionsHindi remake of One Day.

Overview

  • Trade trackers, which reported Friday's opening, pegged day-one India net at roughly ₹0.81–1.00 crore with about 14% occupancy.
  • Early Saturday estimates point to less than ₹1 crore as the film faces stiff competition from Raja Shivaji and The Devil Wears Prada 2.
  • Reviews highlight Sai Pallavi’s confident Hindi-film debut and striking Japan visuals, while many fault the leads’ chemistry and call Junaid Khan’s performance too restrained.
  • The romantic drama is directed by Sunil Pandey for Aamir Khan Productions and is an official adaptation of the 2016 Thai film One Day.
  • Several critics note the Hindi version tweaks the final stretch compared with the original, and the music draws lukewarm notices, with no OTT date announced yet.
