Dinesh Kumar Srivastav aka Dino, a sincere, socially awkward, trivia-loving nerd is secretly in love with his co-worker, the beautiful Meera Ranganathan. Way out of his league! So, when the entire office travels to Japan for the annual company offsite, a heart- broken Dino makes a wish at the famous Fortune Bell that Meera be with him, for just one day, not realising that this one wish will throw his and Meera’s life into total chaos!

Ek Din

Times of India

Pinkvilla

Love is all about cherished, lasting memories. But what if the most beautiful moments are forgotten the very next day? This happens to a socially awkward and missable guy who spends a day with the woman he loves in Hokkaido, Japan, in this remake of the Thai film One Day.
Directed by Sunil Pandey and written by Sneha Desai and Spandan Mishra, Ek Din is a unique romance drama that makes for a breezy watch. One of the refreshing things about the narrative is how the day unfolds like an easy friendship, with gentle undertones of romance. The film’s first act establishes Dinesh’s unrequited love for Meera, who is in a relationship with her married but nearly-divorced boss, Nakul (Kunal Kapoor). Things take a curious turn when Dinesh and Meera end up spending two extra days at their offsite in Japan after their team returns to India. The second act follows their discovery of companionship and warmth in each other, while the third act explores Meera’s memory being reset and whether Dinesh can help her remember what they shared.
Their time together in Japan is beautifully captured by cinematographer Manoj Lobo, who films the snow-capped locales and snow-covered beach with breathtaking beauty. The narrative explores the magic of one perfect day and the bittersweet emotion that comes with knowing it is transient. However, the film also relies on several clichés, such as wishes coming true or Dinesh saving a child’s life, leaving Meera impressed. The movie takes time to establish its central story and feels slow in places, especially in the second half. The third act, however, feels convincing and delivers an emotional payoff.
Junaid Khan pulls off his nerdy IT support guy act well. He embodies the good-at-heart, socially awkward man, especially when he rattles off statistics or talks earnestly about nerdy details, such as how some vegetables are actually fruits. Sai Pallavi is likable and convincing, bringing warmth and natural charm to Meera. Kunal Kapoor lends able support in a limited role.
Ek Din has an unconventional concept but a fairly conventional romantic set-up, with an odd couple finding love in each other. It has its share of contrived plot points, but it still makes for a decent watch, especially for those who enjoy heartfelt romances.

The direction of the film ensures that you notice the detailing, because the heart of the screenplay lies in those micro moments. It is in the silences, the pauses, and the unsaid emotions where Ek Din truly shines.

The dialogues are witty and make the theatre laugh in unison, a quality that feels increasingly rare these days. They feel natural, sharp, and emotionally grounded, helping the audience stay invested in the characters.
The cinematography is beautifully scenic and complements the emotional tone of the film. The visual storytelling feels intimate and warm, while the music does complete justice to the narrative, elevating both the romance and the heartbreak without overpowering either.

Interestingly, the second half catches a stronger emotional pulse, making the film far more engaging as the story unfolds.
Sai Pallavi immerses herself in Meera’s character seamlessly and once again proves why she remains such a compelling performer. She beautifully captures Meera’s emotional arc, from being a happy-go-lucky, carefree girl to someone carrying heartbreak and emotional vulnerability. Her performance feels honest and effortless.

Junaid Khan is growing steadily as an actor and plays Dinesh with finesse. His portrayal of a man battling self-doubt, silence, and unspoken love feels sincere and relatable. He particularly stands out in the quieter moments where emotions speak louder than words. Together, their chemistry feels soft, believable, and emotionally rooted in realism rather than cinematic grandeur.

Final Verdict
If you are a hopeless romantic or someone who has experienced one-sided love, Ek Din will definitely make you manifest an ‘ek din’ in your own life. The film understands the ache of loving someone quietly and the hope that often survives in silence. It may not be a perfect love story, but it is sincere, warm, and emotionally resonant enough to stay with you.
