When Junaid Khan made his debut with the film ‘Maharaj’ on OTT, he received a lot of appreciation. Next came his first theatrical release, ‘Loveyappa’ opposite Khushi Kapoor, which performed poorly at the box office.
However, when released on a digital platform, the film received good reviews. Now in 2026, Junaid Khan is back on the big screen with a love drama titled ‘Ek Din’. He stars alongside one of the most loved stars of the South, Sai Pallavi, who is making her Hindi debut with this film. However, it seems that neither this pairing nor the hype created by Sai’s Hindi debut can attract the audience to the theatres. As released on 1 May 2026, ‘Ek Din’ had a slow opening at the box office; It has minted just over Rs 1 crore.
‘Ek Din’ first day box office update.
According to Sakneelak, ‘Ek Din’ opened to Rs 1.15 lakh crore on Friday, with a low occupancy of 14.3% across 1,961 shows. The film did not have any direct competition for a Hindi remake, as the release window gave enough time for even Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla to enjoy its run.

In recent times, after Bollywood’s triumph with films like ‘Dhurandhar 2’, and amazing numbers with ‘Bhooth Bangla’, ‘Ek Din’ has failed to make an impact on the audience.
Meanwhile, ‘Raja Shivaji’ topped the box office. The film was released in Marathi and Hindi and has impressed everyone. It opened to over Rs 11 crore at the box office, and is receiving positive words from netizens.
About “Ek Din”
“Ek Din” features a traditional romantic setup, where Dinesh Kumar Srivastav, also known as Dino, is a sincere and socially awkward person who falls in love with his co-worker, the beautiful Meera Ranganathan. Of course, the girl is unaware of his feelings, as he is her secret admirer, and someone who feels outside of his interests.
And so, on a business trip to Japan, Dino, being a hopeless romantic, makes a wish at the famous lucky bell that Mira will also fall in love with him for just one day.
At least he knew that his only wish was a recipe for chaos!Disclaimer: The box office numbers and data contained in this article are compiled from various public and industry sources.
