Junaid Khan BREAKS SILENCE on Ek Din underperforming at the box office; reveals Aamir Khan’s reaction: “It still really bothers him. But…”
EK DIN is the story of a man in an unusual situation. Dinesh Srivastava aka Dino (Junaid Khan) works in the IT department of a Noida-based company, Mycon Digital. He is very shy, and his personality is such that he often gets ignored and overlooked. He is madly in love... with Meera Ranganathan (Sai Pallavi), who also works at Mycon. However, Meera is in a relationship with her boss, Nakul (Kunal Kapoor). Nakul is married to Ritu (Jenifer Emmanuel), and he tells Meera that he is about to get divorced. Meera continues the relationship, assuming that she can marry Nakul once he separates from his wife. The company makes huge profits and hence, Nakul takes the whole staff to Japan. It is a five-day trip for the whole team; however, Nakul tells Meera that he’ll stay back with her for two extra days. All is going well until Meera learns a harsh truth about Nakul, leaving her devastated. While Nakul returns with the rest of the team after five days, Meera decides to stay behind alone for two days. A concerned Dino also stays back, without Meera’s knowledge. Meera is involved in an accident, and Dino saves her life. She wakes up the next day, on February 12, and has no memory of being in Japan. This is because she is diagnosed with Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). The doctor, Ketki Patel (Reshma Shetty), assures Meera and Dino that this is a temporary condition and that once Meera wakes up the next day, she’ll regain her memory. However, she won’t remember the current day, that is, February 12. The doctor assumes that Dino is her boyfriend, considering he takes good care of her. In order to prevent her from getting stressed, Dino tells Meera that he’s Nakul and that they both are in a relationship. Meera assumes he’s telling the truth. Both then decide to explore Hokkaido and other places in Japan. This way, Dino gets to finally be with Meera, albeit for just one day. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
