According to Sacnilk, the film has struggled to gain momentum over the weekend.

Story and Review
The narrative follows Dinesh Kumar Srivastav, also known as Dino, a socially awkward yet kind-hearted man deeply interested in trivia and quietly in love with his colleague Meera Ranganathan. During an office trip to Japan, Dino makes a wish at the Fortune Bell, hoping to spend just one day with Meera. However, the wish leads to unexpected consequences, turning their lives upside down.
ETimes review states: "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. 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."
'Ek Din' is an official remake of the 2016 Thai film 'One Day'. Despite the fresh pairing of Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan, the film has yet to gain strong traction.
