Ek Din: A Warm Feel-Good Movie!

-

“Aur Ek Din Ek Din Aur Ho...” (Just one more day… let there be one more day.) A remake of the 2016 Thai film One Day, it is surprising to see so many negative reviews for this heartfelt romantic drama.

Directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Mansoor Khan, Aamir Khan, and Aparna Purohit, Ek Din is a slightly slow-paced film that requires patience and emotional investment.

The story follows Meera Ranganathan (Sai Pallavi, in her Hindi debut) and Dinesh “Dino” Shrivastava (Junaid Khan), centering on a shy young man who struggles to confess his feelings.

There are emotional complexities too—particularly Meera’s involvement with Nakul Bhasin (Kunal Kapoor), a man still tied to his past.

Shot beautifully in Japan, especially in Sapporo, the film uses its snowy landscapes to enhance its emotional depth, while parts were also filmed in Mumbai’s Film City.

After a tragic accident, Meera develops a condition that prevents her from forming new memories beyond a single day. What follows is Dino’s quiet, persistent effort to make her fall in love with him—again and again, every day.

Junaid Khan delivers a sincere performance, fully embodying Dino’s innocence and devotion. Sai Pallavi brings natural charm and emotional depth, making their chemistry feel effortless and real.

Though the film may feel slow at times and follow a familiar narrative, its warmth lies in the small, intimate moments of love and care. Complemented by a soothing soundtrack featuring Arijit Singh, the film reminds us that cinema is not always about spectacle—but about feeling.

Perhaps, just for one day, we can learn to appreciate cinema for what it truly is.

Habitat – My First Performance Venue

-

In 2016, although I had written extensively, I had never actually performed open-mic poetry. Writing had always been my primary form of expression, with speaking coming second. So, when I decided to take the stage for my first performance at The Habitat in Khar, I was nervous, especially doing it alone. I wanted to build my confidence, and this seemed like the only way to do it. Coincidentally, 2016 was also the year The Habitat was founded. It became the place where I made my debut as an artist. The Habitat quickly became a safe space where I forged friendships with fellow poets and artists. I still remember the moment that turned my life around—stepping onto that dimly lit stage, microphone in hand. It felt like opening a door I had been too afraid to touch before.  Some of the people I shared space with over there are Zoheb Khan, Bikram Bumrah, Kunal Jhawar, Navaldeep Singh, Jackie Thakkar, Simar Singh, Aranya Johar, Rakesh Tiwari, Ramneek Singh, Hussain Haidry, Kartikey Sehgal,...

Time is running out. At least, this is what the protestors who gathered at a public meeting at Real Party Hall at Colaba Arthur Bunder Road at 4 PM on Saturday, April 5 th , 2025, believe. The skyline of Colaba was built over time – stone by stone and voice by voice.   It is this very same skyline which is at threat owing to the danger of the construction of the newly proposed passenger jetty being constructed near Radio Club which will affect the flow of traffic, especially near the Radio Club stretch and the iconic view of the Gateway of India.   To voice their opposition, residents have launched an online petition against the project garnering over 3,000 signatures. A special WhatsApp group has also been formed to organise peaceful protests, which has already been joined by over 2,000 members.   The petition, known as ‘Save Colaba: Stop the Jetty Project’ proposes that the jetty project is a mammoth 2-acre structure that will be constructed in a space that has no room ...
