Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s film presents a rather dull day

Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s film presents a rather dull day

Published by Webster

Director: Sunil PandeyCast: Junaid Khan, Sai PallaviRating: 1 star Ek Din is a love story that involves memory loss, based on a Thai production titled One Day (2016). As was the last Hindi romantic hit, Saiyaara (2025), about a rare form of amnesia, with its premise derived from a Korean film, A Moment to Remember (2004). Besides desi scripts getting inevitably sourced from East Asia, one also learns how common memory loss is, as a central plot/movie idea, isn’t it? We’ve hardly met as many people experiencing amnesia in real life, as we have, forever, with characters on the big screen. That said, I seem to be suffering from a memory lapse myself. That’s what happens, when a film is so forgettable that you can barely recall what you sat through, while your famished brain was wandering towards the exit door, every now and then, anyway.  Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
