Ek Din, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, is a Hindi adaptation of the 2016 Thai film One Day. The story follows Dinesh, an IT professional who falls in love with his colleague Meera, but struggles to express his feelings. When Meera develops Transient Global Amnesia, Dinesh gets his chance to be with her, but the film fails to deliver an emotional payoff.

The film starts off on a promising note, with a fresh and fuss-free plot, but loses steam in the second half. The casting, particularly Junaid Khan, is decent, but the writing falters as the film approaches its climax. Sai Pallavi shines as Meera, bringing a sense of depth and emotion to the character.

The music and cinematography are notable, but ultimately, Ek Din fails to leave a lasting impact. The film settles for a fleeting emotional connection, rather than a lasting one, making it a disappointing watch.
