'Such a big person, yet no apology': Abhijeet Bhattacharya opens up on his falling out with Shah Rukh Khan

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Ek Din, starring Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan and South Indian actor Sai Pallavi, is the official Hindi remake of the Thai romantic drama One Day. Directed by Sunil Pandey, the film is positioned as a soft, feel-good romance and tries to showcase heartbreak, fantasy, and fleeting love into a quiet narrative. Backed by producers including Aamir Khan, Ek Din marks the Bollywood debut of Pallavi. Let's find out if the film is worth watching in theatres. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h2>Plot of Ek Din movie</h2><p>Ek Din follows Dinesh (Junaid Khan), an introverted IT employee in a Noida-based company who calls himself "invisible" because nobody notices him. He quietly lives his life, unnoticed by colleagues, including Meera (Sai Pallavi), the woman he is in love with.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Meera is a cheerful and free-spirited woman who dreams of visiting Japan. She is romantically involved with her boss Nakul (Kunal Kapoor), who claims he is in the process of divorcing his wife. After the company achieves its targets, Nakul announces an office trip to Japan, Meera’s dream destination, and even plans to extend his stay there with her.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Dinesh, aware of Meera’s happiness with Nakul, chooses not to express his feelings. However, in Japan, he makes a quiet wish at a fortune bell to spend just one day with Meera.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Soon things take an unexpected turn, and Meera and Dinesh decide to stay back for a couple of days, while the rest of the team heads back to India.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/ek-din-is-junaid-khan-sai-pallavi-starrer-an-adaptation-of-thai-film-one-day-1768560245030"><strong>Ek Din: Is Junaid Khan-Sai Pallavi starrer an adaptation of Thai film One Day?</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>At night, in the middle of heavy snowfall, Meera meets with an accident, and Dinesh rescues her and rushes her to the hospital, where she is diagnosed with Transient Global Amnesia (TGA), a condition that wipes out her memory for a day. In a twist of fate, Meera wakes up believing Dinesh is her boyfriend.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, Dinesh, conflicted yet hopeful, goes along with the misunderstanding. What follows is a single day where they explore Japan together, visit places like the Sapporo snow festival, and create memories Meera will soon forget.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>As the clock ticks, the film builds toward the inevitable question: what happens when Meera regains her memory? Will she recognise Dinesh, or will their love remain just “one day”?&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: &nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/here-s-why-aamir-khan-wanted-ek-din-to-be-junaid-khan-s-debut-film-1775197826302"><strong>Here's why Aamir Khan wanted Ek Din to be Junaid Khan's debut film</strong></a></p><h2>What works &nbsp;</h2><p>The biggest strength of the film lies in its visual appeal. Shot extensively in Japan, the film beautifully captures snow-covered landscapes, scenic streets, and tourist spots. The aesthetic often feels like a soft, Christmas-style romance.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The core idea of the film, a one-sided lover getting one perfect day, is emotionally compelling. The portions where Meera forgets everything, and lives and enjoys her day with Dinesh, are engaging too.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aamir-khan-tears-up-during-ek-din-event-in-mumbai-sai-pallavi-offers-support-1777263769034"><strong>Aamir Khan tears up during Ek Din event in Mumbai, Sai Pallavi offers support</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When it comes to performance, Sai Pallavi stands out. Her portrayal as Meera appears warm and sincere. While Khan delivers a limited performance as Dinesh, his role requires little expression. Though not extraordinary, his performance occasionally feels grounded.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The film also includes some lighthearted moments that work well without being too much. Some dialogues and exchanges between the Khan and Sai Pallavi come off as authentic and heartfelt.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>One thing I liked about the film was its runtime and pacing. It avoids getting stretched and maintains a smooth flow. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><h2>What doesn't work&nbsp; &nbsp;</h2><p>Despite its interesting premise, Ek Din is disappointing in its execution. The main issue is its predictability. Even though I haven't seen the original Thai film, the trailer reveals much of the story. The only part that I was waiting for was what happens after Meera regains her memory, which also unfolds in a largely expected way.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The chemistry between Khan and Pallavi works only in parts. While there are a few sweet and tender moments, the overall film misses the spark.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Another thing that I didn't like was that Khan’s role was restricted. I understand, his character demands minimal expression, but this restraint sometimes comes across as a lack of emotional range.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/ek-din-trailer-out-junaid-khan-and-sai-pallavi-s-unlikely-romance-takes-center-stage-1776328525965"><strong> Ek Din trailer out: Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s unlikely romance takes center stage</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Another major issue is the underutilisation of supporting characters. Kunal Kapoor’s Nakul, despite being central to the conflict, gets very limited screen space. According to me, the role was too small for someone like him. Other characters barely leave an impression.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Overall, the film feels like a two-person story focused only on Meera and Dinesh.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The music, while decent, is largely forgettable, with even the final song feeling unnecessary.&nbsp;</p><h2>Is Ek Din worth watching?&nbsp;</h2><p>Ek Din is a simple and sweet love story that works best when it focuses on momentary emotions. While I loved its core idea, scenic visuals, and a few heartfelt moments, the film fell short of delivering what I had expected.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re looking for a light, one-time watch with a feel-good movie, this film fits the bill. But if you expect a powerful, unforgettable romance, Ek Din is not for you.&nbsp;</p>

Ek Din, backed by Aamir Khan marks the collaboration between Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi. It is the story of an IT nerd who falls in love with his charming colleague but does not have guts to ask her out. Read on to find out if the film is worth watching in theatres.

Directed by Sunil Pandey, the film is positioned as a soft, feel-good romance and tries to showcase heartbreak, fantasy, and fleeting love into a quiet narrative. Backed by producers including Aamir Khan, Ek Din marks the Bollywood debut of Pallavi. Let's find out if the film is worth watching in theatres. Plot of Ek Din movie Ek Din follows Dinesh (Junaid Khan), an introverted IT employee in a Noida-based company who calls himself "invisible" because nobody notices him. He quietly lives his life, unnoticed by colleagues, including Meera (Sai Pallavi), the woman he is in love with. Meera is a cheerful and free-spirited woman who dreams of visiting Japan. She is romantically involved with her boss Nakul (Kunal Kapoor), who claims he is in the process of divorcing his wife. After the company achieves its targets, Nakul announces an office trip to Japan, Meera’s dream destination, and even plans to extend his stay there with her. Dinesh, aware of Meera’s happiness with Nakul, chooses not to express his feelings. However, in Japan, he makes a quiet wish at a fortune bell to spend just one day with Meera. Soon things take an unexpected turn, and Meera and Dinesh decide to stay back for a couple of days, while the rest of the team heads back to India.

At night, in the middle of heavy snowfall, Meera meets with an accident, and Dinesh rescues her and rushes her to the hospital, where she is diagnosed with Transient Global Amnesia (TGA), a condition that wipes out her memory for a day. In a twist of fate, Meera wakes up believing Dinesh is her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Dinesh, conflicted yet hopeful, goes along with the misunderstanding. What follows is a single day where they explore Japan together, visit places like the Sapporo snow festival, and create memories Meera will soon forget. As the clock ticks, the film builds toward the inevitable question: what happens when Meera regains her memory? Will she recognise Dinesh, or will their love remain just “one day”? Also Read: Here's why Aamir Khan wanted Ek Din to be Junaid Khan's debut film What works The biggest strength of the film lies in its visual appeal. Shot extensively in Japan, the film beautifully captures snow-covered landscapes, scenic streets, and tourist spots. The aesthetic often feels like a soft, Christmas-style romance. The core idea of the film, a one-sided lover getting one perfect day, is emotionally compelling. The portions where Meera forgets everything, and lives and enjoys her day with Dinesh, are engaging too. Also Read: Aamir Khan tears up during Ek Din event in Mumbai, Sai Pallavi offers support When it comes to performance, Sai Pallavi stands out. Her portrayal as Meera appears warm and sincere. While Khan delivers a limited performance as Dinesh, his role requires little expression. Though not extraordinary, his performance occasionally feels grounded. The film also includes some lighthearted moments that work well without being too much. Some dialogues and exchanges between the Khan and Sai Pallavi come off as authentic and heartfelt. One thing I liked about the film was its runtime and pacing. It avoids getting stretched and maintains a smooth flow. What doesn't work Despite its interesting premise, Ek Din is disappointing in its execution. The main issue is its predictability. Even though I haven't seen the original Thai film, the trailer reveals much of the story. The only part that I was waiting for was what happens after Meera regains her memory, which also unfolds in a largely expected way. The chemistry between Khan and Pallavi works only in parts. While there are a few sweet and tender moments, the overall film misses the spark. Another thing that I didn't like was that Khan’s role was restricted. I understand, his character demands minimal expression, but this restraint sometimes comes across as a lack of emotional range. Also Read: Ek Din trailer out: Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s unlikely romance takes center stage Another major issue is the underutilisation of supporting characters. Kunal Kapoor’s Nakul, despite being central to the conflict, gets very limited screen space. According to me, the role was too small for someone like him. Other characters barely leave an impression. Overall, the film feels like a two-person story focused only on Meera and Dinesh. The music, while decent, is largely forgettable, with even the final song feeling unnecessary. Is Ek Din worth watching? Ek Din is a simple and sweet love story that works best when it focuses on momentary emotions. While I loved its core idea, scenic visuals, and a few heartfelt moments, the film fell short of delivering what I had expected. If you’re looking for a light, one-time watch with a feel-good movie, this film fits the bill. But if you expect a powerful, unforgettable romance, Ek Din is not for you.

<p>For actor Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji isn’t just a historical epic for moolah. It's also a film he wants younger audiences to experience to understand the story of Maratha king Shivaji. He insists that while this is a film for every age group, he wants young adults and children to definitely watch the film. It is, thus, conducive to the film that the Central Board of Certification (CBFC) has given it a U/A 16+ certificate. The film is 3 hours 15 minutes long. Deshmukh plays the titular character in the film and also directs the epic.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In earlier interviews, Riteish had said, “The biggest mistake we make is thinking everyone will view a film in the same way. Children understand movies very differently than adults, which I’ve realized, after becoming a dad. My younger son’s friends saw some scenes while I was editing; and their perspective was, ‘Oh, that’s a double kill! Oh, wow, that’s a triple kill!’ In one shot, three people were hit and they were looking at it through a video game lens, using that terminology. I feel kids are much more accepting when they watch movies.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He also said, “There has never been an atmosphere at home where we made them feel, “You’re too young, so we can’t tell you about this.” Never. Whatever questions they have, we’ve always believed they deserve honest answers. Whenever they ask us about our work, we explain it to them. They should know what their parents do, and also understand the struggles that come with it. Sometimes they visit our sets and see everything for themselves. Of course, they’re busy with things that children their age do, but they still know what a night shift is, what a day shift is, what happens during a song shoot—they’ve seen it all. I really believe that innocence travels into the universe. I truly do. I feel like there is someone out there listening to them. I remember once, my younger son had won this medal, and both of us were standing there thinking—who is he? Where does this confidence come from? It’s such a beautiful feeling.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That realization shaped how Deshmukh approached the tone and treatment of the film, especially given the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. “He died young at the age of 50, but by that time, he had achieved so much. I am just trying to encapsulate his life within two and a half or three hours. But he lived that intensity every single day of his life," he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It’s indeed the vision of a filmmaker that defines how he makes a movie accessible for all.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Raja Shivaji brings together a formidable ensemble from Hindi and Marathi cinema, including Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Boman Irani, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi, Amol Gupte, and Genelia Deshmukh, with Riteish Deshmukh, who has written, directed, produced, and headlined the film at its helm.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Presented by Jio Studios, Raja Shivaji, a Mumbai Film Company production, is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Genelia Deshmukh.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>On Wednesday, Rahul took to Instagram to share a note that seemed to address all the chatter around his recent videos online. The actor also called out trolls, slamming those who mocked him and his struggles while asserting that such reactions reveal more about them than him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rahul wrote that if people ridicule his “simplicity or make fun of his struggles”, it reflects more on them than it does on him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p> </p><p>“I do my work with honesty and modesty. I have some legal matters to pay for, and these are not from today—they are from before the brain stroke happened,” Rahul wrote.</p><p> </p><p>The actor revealed that he is dealing with legal matters that require significant expenses.</p><p>The actor continued, “If you mock my simplicity or make fun of my struggles, it says less about me and more about you. If you are truly so concerned, then help me find some genuine and decent work so I can pay for these cases. At least I am earning through hard work, not by mocking others.”</p><p> </p><p>The actor also stated that he has intended to stay active after he suffered a brain stroke.</p><p>“And after the brain stroke, it is important for me to stay active. I want to work for as long as I am alive. It keeps my mind active and gives me the sense of purpose and responsibility that I am still working today. Yes, it may hurt a little sometimes, but you cannot break me,” Rahul wrote as he concluded the note.</p>
