Ek Din is the most anticipated Hindi romantic drama of May 2026, marking Aamir Khan Productions' latest release and the Hindi film debut of acclaimed actress Sai Pallavi. Directed by Sunil Pandey, this film is a remake of the beloved 2016 Thai romantic drama One Day, adapted for Indian audiences by writers Sneha Desai and Spandan Mishra. The film stars Junaid Khan (son of Aamir Khan) in the lead role alongside Sai Pallavi, with Kunal Kapoor in a pivotal supporting role.
The buzz around Ek Din has been building steadily, with its advance booking opening an extraordinary 39 days before release — a strategy that PVR INOX Executive Director Sanjeev Kumar Bijli called a testament to Aamir Khan's innovative approach to film marketing. Aamir Khan himself has been actively promoting the film, hosting a unique musical event called "Ek Din Ki Mehfil" where aspiring singers performed live before him, Sai Pallavi, and the cast. At the event, Aamir Khan described Sai Pallavi as "the best actress we have in the country today", setting sky-high expectations.

Ek Din tells the story of Rohan (Junaid Khan), a young man secretly in love with his colleague Meera (Sai Pallavi). Unable to muster the courage to confess his feelings, Rohan's chance arrives during a company trip that gives him one magical day to make his wish come true. The premise, adapted from the acclaimed Thai original, promises a blend of gentle romance, emotional depth, and a touch of magic realism that sets it apart from conventional Bollywood love stories.
The pairing of Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi is the film's biggest draw. Junaid, who made his debut in the Netflix film Qala (2022) followed by Maharaj, brings a quiet intensity that the role demands. Sai Pallavi, already a superstar in Telugu and Tamil cinema with hits like Premam, Fidaa, and Sita Ramam, makes her highly-anticipated Hindi debut here. The film's trailer, released in April, has been praised for its dreamy tone, ethereal cinematography by Manoj Lobo, and the soulful score by Ram Sampath.
The soundtrack, with lyrics by Irshad Kamil and music by Ram Sampath, has already produced a breakout hit in "Konichiwa" — sung by Indian Idol winner Rishi Singh and Arijit Singh — which is trending on music streaming platforms. The unique "Ek Din Ki Mehfil" promotional concept, where singers from across India competed to perform live before Aamir Khan and the cast, has generated substantial goodwill and word-of-mouth buzz for the film's music.
If you are a fan of heartfelt love stories, Sai Pallavi's work, or simply looking for a beautiful storyline and scale this May 1 weekend, Ek Din is the one to watch.
