The film Ek Din, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, has had a bit of a rocky start at the box office. On its opening day, it managed to pull in around Rs. 1 crore, but instead of seeing an uptick on day two, the numbers fell to about Rs. 75 lakh. This brings its total to roughly Rs. 1.75 crore after just two days.
A drop on the second day isn’t usually a great sign, especially when the opening figures are already on the lower side. Movies like this often rely on some early buzz to gain traction, but so far, that hasn’t happened here.

Backed by Aamir Khan and directed by Sunil Pandey, the film comes with a hefty budget of around Rs. 75 crore, which makes the current box office numbers quite concerning. If this trend continues, it looks like the final earnings will be pretty limited.

May 3, 2026For Junaid Khan, this is another theatrical release following his earlier projects. One of his previous films went straight to streaming, while another didn’t do well in theaters. So, this outcome is particularly important for him as he navigates his early career and tries to connect with audiences.
Sai Pallavi, on the other hand, has a few other projects in the pipeline, including a film with Ranbir Kapoor. Unfortunately, her role in Ek Din hasn’t translated into strong box office numbers this time around, which can happen when the overall reception to a film is lukewarm.
The film also features Kunal Kapoor, along with a supporting cast that includes Kavin Dave, Jenifer Emmanuel, and Astha Gulati. The story revolves around a couple grappling with a memory-related condition that impacts their time together. It’s said to be adapted from a Thai film with a similar theme.
At this point, the film’s performance highlights just how quickly things can change for a theatrical release when the initial response is tepid. The next few days will determine its fate, but the first two days have already set a clear course.
