Ek Din Collects 3.85 Cr Net in India in First 3 Days

Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi's romantic drama Ek Din opened to a disappointing box office performance on May 1, 2026, collecting just 3.85 crore net in India over its first three days amid stiff competition from other major releases.

According to Sacnilk estimates, the film earned 1.15 crore net on its opening Friday across 1,962 shows with 14.3 percent occupancy. Collections dipped slightly to 1 crore net on Saturday with 1,765 shows at 14.2 percent occupancy, before a modest rise to 1.70 crore net on Sunday, its highest single-day figure. The India gross stood at 4.26 crore, with worldwide collections reaching around 2.82 crore after two days. The movie played on approximately 1,200 screens, primarily in metros and multiplexes.

Ek Din faced a three-way clash with Riteish Deshmukh's historical drama Raja Shivaji, which amassed 21.90 crore net in two days, and the sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, which earned 9.50 crore net in the same period. Produced on a reported budget of 15 to 25 crore including prints and advertising, the film requires significantly higher earnings for commercial viability.

Directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Aamir...
