Aamir Khan’s production house has had its share of highs, but *Ek Din* — his latest venture starring son Junaid Khan and fan-favourite Sai Pallavi — has officially become one of Bollywood’s most painful 2026 flops. Let’s break down exactly how bad it got.

### Ek Din Box Office Collections — Final Numbers

| Period | Collection (India Nett) |
| --- | --- |
| Week 1 | Rs. 3.75 crore |
| 2nd Weekend | Rs. 0.25 crore |
| **Total (Final)** | **~Rs. 4.00–4.50 crore** |

The Sunil Panday directorial romantic drama collected around Rs. 4 crore nett across its 10-day theatrical run, with virtually no momentum left to push it further. A few lakh rupees may trickle in before it exits cinemas, but the damage is done.

### What Went Wrong?

Honestly, almost everything. The film met with average to poor word-of-mouth, combined with a low-key buzz and the baggage of being a remake. Audiences simply didn’t show up, and no amount of star power — not even Sai Pallavi’s loyal fanbase — could save it. ]

What makes this sting more is the comparison. Ek Din couldn’t even match Junaid Khan’s debut film Loveyapa at the box office — itself a dud — and will end up collecting around 50% of what Loveyapa managed in India. That’s a sobering stat for a production backed by Aamir Khan.

The concept of [box office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_office) collections as a performance metric matters deeply in Bollywood, where theatrical success directly impacts a film’s OTT valuation, satellite rights, and future greenlights — making this result doubly damaging for the franchise.

### What’s Next for Junaid and Sai Pallavi?

Despite the disappointment, both leads have big projects lined up. All eyes are now on Junaid Khan’s next, *Ragini 3*, and Sai Pallavi’s high-stakes mythological epic *Ramayana*. Sai Pallavi especially has everything to prove — and gain — with Ramayana, which is arguably the most anticipated Hindi film in years.
