A romantic drama excites the audience when it involves a heavily dramatic breakup and emotional chartbuster songs. One film of this genre that was released on May 1, 2026, and does not offer either of those elements is Ek Din, led by Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan. The film was directed by Sunil Pandey and was carrying very low expectations during its release. Due to Junaid Khan’s negative public perception and the film being a remake, the excitement among the audience for the movie was negligible. Read to know how Ek Din performed in its lifetime run, what was the final Ek Din movie box office collection, and whether the movie was a hit or flop.
What Should You Know About Ek Din?
The cast of Ek Din consists of Junaid Khan, Sai Pallavi, and Kunal Kapoor in the lead. For Sai Pallavi, Ek Din is her Bollywood debut film before Ramayana. All three of the leads started their career in three different consecutive decades, but none of them hold any face value that can attract the audience towards a film.
How is the Pre-Release Hype For Ek Din?
The hype for Ek Din was very poor before the Ek Din movie release date. Two trailers of the movie, along with the whole album composed by Ram Sampath and five out of six songs sung by Arijit Singh, were released before the film. None of them worked as the team expected and put the film on its back foot. As a result of the failure of the team in promotions, the trade expectations for day wise box office collection Ek Din were negligible.
Only the Ek Din title track got the film decent traction as it was. This is because the song was used as promotional material for Arijit Singh singing even after he retired from playback singing, as the film was one of his many prior commitments.
What is the Ek Din Advance Booking Report in India?
Ek Din advance booking started in India 39 days before its release, giving the film a record on its name. However, it turned out to be a useless record as the pre-sales of the film were very poor. In the entire duration of advance booking, Junaid Khan’s Ek Din sold 14,560 tickets for Day 1 on BookMyShow, giving rise to a really low Ek Din box office Day 1 prediction. Out of this advance booking total, 9,550 tickets were sold across Indian national chains (PVR Inox and Cinepolis).
How Much is the Ek Din Box Office Opening in India and Overseas?
On its opening day, Ek Din got 1,961 shows in India. On Day 1, the film collected only Rs 1 crore India nett, showing a disastrous opening on the partial holiday of Labour Day. This poor performance was expected after seeing the film’s advance booking. As for its overseas box office collection, its Day 1 gross was not reported due to extremely low numbers.
In its opening weekend, the film collected Rs 2.75 crore nett at the Indian box office in 3 days. With its overseas 3-day gross of Rs 53 lakhs included, the worldwide box office collection of the film in its opening weekend was Rs 3.88 crore.
What is the Ek Din Movie Box Office Collection Worldwide Prediction?
The trade has no expectations from the Ek Din movie collection worldwide. Bringing acclaimed names from the music industry like Arijit Singh, Ram Sampath, and Irshad Kamil benefited the movie in no way.
Junaid Khan, Sai Pallavi, and Aamir Khan were the highlights of the film’s promotion. Out of them all, Junaid Khan carries a negative PR due to the tag of nepotism he carries. Lead actress Sai Pallavi has negligible popularity among the Hindi audience, and her presence barely affects this film.
As for Aamir Khan, he is not starring in the film. Hence, he does not help to bring a positive update for the box office collection report of Ek Din. Neither does his name attached to the film help it open on a good note, nor does it help to cross the very low Ek Din movie budget. Additionally, it clashed against Raja Shivaji at the box office, a much bigger and more awaited movie. Keeping all these factors in mind, Ek Din is expected to be a box office disaster.

Verdict:
Why Did Ek Din Flop?
Being a romantic drama, it is important for Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s Ek Din to make people emotionally connect with the film. However, connecting comes at a much later stage of the process, as the first thing for the audience is to at least know about the film. Due to poor awareness and even poorer excitement as the film is a remake, Ek Din day wise box office collection showed a low performance.
