Aamir Khan's production venture Ek Din stars Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles. The film's trailer was released on Thursday, and it received a mixed response from the audience. Well, in one of the scenes, Sai's character tells Junaid's character that this is the most beautiful day of her life, and he replies that she will forget this day tomorrow. This made people wonder whether the film also deals with Alzheimer's disease, just like Saiyaara.

While talking to Variety India, when Aamir was asked about it, the actor laughed and said, "No! No! Our film is completely different!”

Directed by Sunil Pandey, Ek Din is a remake of Thai film, One Day, which was release in 2016. The movie will mark the Bollywood debut of South star Sai Pallavi.

Well, the trailer of Ek Din has received mixed reviews from netizens. A netizen tweeted, "I thought this was a one day remake but it’s somehow worse (sic)."

Another X user wrote, "The Trailer looks good !! Such a Brilliant Actress 😊👑 Her expressions, her dance, the way she speaks, sings happy birthday 👌 Cant wait to watch the movie @Sai_Pallavi92 !! Best wishes to the actors, all the technicians, entire team of #ekdin (sic)."

One more netizen tweeted, "Amir Khan Production decided to make a movie that is a copy of a Thai movie One Day. The highlight is that they don't even bother to change the settings. Name, snowy mountains, giant bell, actor looks, all seems lifted from the original (sic)."

Ek Din Release Date

Ek Din is slated to release on May 1, 2026. The film won't get a solo release, as it is all set to clash at the box office with Riteish Deshmukh starrer Raja Shivaji, which is a biopic on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
