Thereafter came his first theatrical release, \u2018Loveyappa\u2019 opposite Khushi Kapoor, which underperformed at the box office. However, when released on a digital platform, the film did receive decent reviews. Now in 2026, Junaid Khan has again made it back to the big screen with a love drama titled \u2018Ek Din.\u2019 He stars alongside one of the South\u2019s most loved stars, Sai Pallavi, who made her Hindi debut with this movie. Yet, it seems neither this pairing nor the buzz of Sai\u2019s Hindi debut could bring the audience to the theatres. As released on May 1, 2026, \u2018Ek Din\u2019 saw a slow opening at the box office; it minted a little over Rs 1 crore.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Ek Din\u2019 box office day 1 update<\/p>\n<p>According to Sacnilk, \u2018Ek Din\u2019 opened with Rs 1.15 crore on Friday, with a low occupancy of 14.3% across 1,961 shows. The movie didn\u2019t have any direct new Hindi release competition, as its release window gave enough time for even Akshay Kumar\u2019s \u2018Bhooth Bangla\u2019 to enjoy its run. In recent times, after Bollywood\u2019s triumph with films like \u2018Dhurandhar 2,\u2019 impressive numbers with \u2018Bhooth Bangla,\u2019 \u2018Ek Din\u2019 has failed to leave an impact on the audience. Meanwhile, \u2018Raja Shivaji\u2019 took the lead at the box office. Released in Marathi and Hindi, the movie impressed all. It opened with over Rs 11 crore at the ticket counter, and is receiving positive words from the netizens.<\/p>\n<p>About \u2018Ek Din\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Ek Din\u2019 shows a conventional romantic set-up, where Dinesh Kumar Srivastav, aka Dino, is a sincere, socially awkward nerd 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 he feels is way out of his league. Thus, on an office trip to Japan, Dino, as a hopeless romantic, makes a wish at the famous Fortune Bell that Meera also falls for him for just one day. Least did he know that his one wish was the recipe of chaos!DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
