Ek Din X Review: 'Another Unfaithful Remake By Aamir Khan', Netizens Trash Junaid Khan's Performance, Praise Sai Pallavi

Backed by Aamir Khan, Ek Din hit the big screens on May 1. The movie marks the Bollywood debut of Sai Pallavi, who will be seen next in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. Son of Aamir Khan, Junaid Khan, plays the lead role in the movie, which marks his third release. Despite a strong backing, the movie failed to generate enough buzz among cinegoers.

Watch it or skip it? What is the netizens' verdict on Ek Din?

Social media users who caught the early shows of Ek Din took to their X (formerly Twitter) account to share their first impression of the film. While some social media users heaped praises on the romance drama, most found the film ‘disappointing’. The story, screenplay and songs of the movie received a unanimous thumbs up online.

#EkDin Review : ⭐️?/5 : CRAP !!!!

Ek Din is a perfect example of how to not make a Remake, It’s not a Remake it’s just a Frame to Frame copy of ‘One Day’
