Rajiv Vijaykar of Koimoi gave the film 4 and 1/2 stars. He praised Ek Din as a beautifully written, emotionally engaging romance that turns a one-day love story into a memorable, heartfelt experience. The review strongly appreciates Sunil Pandey’s direction, Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan’s performances, the Japan visuals, music, and the film’s strong emotional finish. ^[13]. Subhash K jha gave film 3 and 1/2 stars and wrote "‘Ek Din’ is like an elegantly arranged symphony whose notes are not particularly profound. But they suggest an enduring harmony between the location and the heart. And if all fails — and that’s not the case here — there is always Sai Pallavi, an actress so far ahead of the competition she makes the rest look like cheerleaders”. ^[14]. Anuj Kumar of The Hindu wrote "At a time when the box office menu is brimming with masala entertainers, Ek Din tastes like a palate cleanser, blending mood and memory with a touch of magic".^[15] Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India "In other words, the shield of fiction collapses to reveal a film that fumbles the basics. By now, it’s obvious that Ek Din is more bust than boom. The notes outweigh the feelings. There’s a lack of interiority — a cultural emptiness in the storytelling (the rest of the album fails to register) — that stops the love from transcending the story".^[16] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2 out of 5 stars, writing "The Junaid Khan–Sai Pallavi starrer isn’t outright bad. It attempts to revive clean, old-school romance in Bollywood, standing apart from the industry’s current wave of hyper-violent and misogynistic themes".^[17] Vineeta Kumar of India Today gave 2 out of 5 stars, and wrote "Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan's romantic film follows Dinesh and Meera through a one-day love story shaped by memory loss. The film's striking Japan backdrop cannot compensate for thin writing and a romance that never convinces".^[18] Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times gave 2.5 out of 5 stars, writing "While the first half is engaging, the second falters with a confusing climax. Sai Pallavi shines, but the film lacks lasting emotional impact".^[19] Sahir Advik D'Souza of The Quint gave 1 out of 5 stars, writing "It is impossible to take this premise seriously—or the film at large, despite its blue-chip backing by Aamir Khan".^[20]
