वाढदिवसाच्या दिवशी दाभोळकरांना एक मोठी ऑर्डर मिळणार असते. त्यासाठी दिल्लीहून मोहनलाल म्हणून एक व्यक्ती दाभोळकरांना १० वाजता भेटायला येणार असते. आज वाढदिवस म्हणून बायकोला वाटत असते कि यांनी आज घरी राहावे. पण विश्वासला काही ते मान्य होते नाही. मात्र संध्याकाळी त्यांच्या व्यवसायातील सगळ्यांना एक पार्टी मात्र ठेवलेली असते. दाभोळकरांना त्यांची बायको म्हणते कि मी एक लेख वाचला त्यात असे म्हटले आहे कि तुम्ही जर वर्षातून एक दिवस जरी तुमचे रुटीन सोडून वेगळ्या विषयावर, वेगळ्या माणसांना भेतानात तर तुमचे आयुष्य ५ वर्ष्यांनी कमी होते. पण या सगळ्यावर दाभोल्काराचा अजिबात विश्वास नसतो. त्यामुळे ते हट्टाने ऑफिसला जातात.
ऑफिसला जाताना ड्रायव्हर उशिरा येतो, त्यामुळे त्याच्यावर खेकसतात. व स्वताच गाडी घेऊन जातात. मोहनलाल खूप उशिरा येतो. हे वैतागतात. पण त्यांच्या व्यवसायातील पार्टनर अग्रवाल त्यांना शांत राहून मोहनलाल बरोबर व्यवहार करायला सांगतात. मोहनलाल अपेक्षेपेक्षा जास्त पैश्याची ओर्देर घेऊन येतो. दुपारी जेवण झाल्यावर दाभोळकरांना म्हणतो कि मला तुमची गाडी आजच्या दिवस द्या, तुम्ही तक्षिने परत जा. दाभोळकर गाडी मोहनलालच्या ताब्यात देऊन टक्सी पकडायला जातात, तर नेमका त्यांचा संप सुरु असतो.
त्यामुळे विश्वास दाभोळकरांना चालत जाण्याशिवाय पर्याय राहत नाही. असेच जात असताना त्यांचा बालपणीचा मित्र भेटतो. हा मित्र आता बराच म्हातारा दिसू लागलेला असतो, त्यामुळे दाभोलकर त्याला ओळखत नाहीत. पण हा मित्र मात्र ओळखतो, आणि मग त्याच्या आयुष्यातील गोष्ट ऐकता ऐकता दाभोळकरांना खूप आश्चर्य वाटते, कि इतका कमी पगार असून देखील हा माणूस स्वप्नं कशी काय बघू शकतो. तर दाभोळकर त्यानंतर कोणा-कोणाला भेटतात त्यांचा दिवस कसा जातो हे बघा "एक उनाड दिवस" मध्ये.
सिनेमा तसा छोटा आहे. सामान्य माणसाच्या आयुष्यातील काही चांगले प्रसंग या सिनेमात घातले आहेत. जीवनाकडे एका नवीन दृष्टीने बघण्याचा आनंद मात्र हा सिनेमा निश्चित देतो. अशोक सराफची अक्टिंग मस्तच आहे. त्याचा आधीचा इस्त्री केलेला चेहरा आणि नंतरचा विनोदी अशोक सराफ दोघेही आवडले. सिनेमात बरेच कलाकार थोड्या थोड्या वेळासाठी येतात, छोट्या छोट्या गोष्टींसाठी. पण सगळ्या गोष्टींमध्ये सुतुत्रता आहे. विनोदी सिनेमा आवडत असेल तर हा सिनेमा बघायला हरकत नाही.

The movie begins with Birthday of Vishwas Dabholkar. Vishwas is a very disciplined person, and can not tolerate people getting late for official business, people not adhering to etiquettes. He is living a routine life with certain norms pf his own,like he will were only White or creme colored shirts only. On his birthday, his wife and only son, greet him in the morning with a beautiful bouquet. He accepts it with a ironed face. On the breakfast table, they also present him with a nice shirt which is bright colored. At this point he looses his patience and shows his anger saying the color of the shirt is totally unsuitable and he is not going to wear it at all. But his wife mentions him that this color suits him well.
It was an important day for him in the office. He is working on a big deal for his company and is expecting a client visit to discuss about the order in his office at 10, so he in his usual morning rush. His wife feels he should take off from work and relax, do something different on the day and rewind. But Vishwas belives only in routine life and hard work. As a formality he has agreed for a party in the evening for his office mates and friends. His wife tells him that she recently read an article mentioning if one lives bit differently one day in year, he will feel younger by five years. Vishwas does not believe in such things and just ignores it. 
As he gets ready and comes out of the house, his driver is not on time for work. On arrival driver gets good scolding form Vishwas, and with anger Vishwas tells him to be at home and help his fife and takes the car and leaves. After reaching office, he had to wait foe the Client Mohanlal for a log time. He starts loosing patience, but his boss Agrawal helps him calm down and receive Mohanlal with a smile. Vishwas is plesently surprised by Mohanlal's order of much higher amount than expected and without any negotiations. As Mohanlal has come all the way from Delhi, Vishwas takes him for lunch in a nice restaurant. After the lunch, Mohanlal requests Vishwas for his car for the day and Vishwas could not deny, and decides to take a taxi back to office. As he reached the nearest Taxi stand, he learns there is Taxi strike on that day.
Upset Vishwas starts walking towards his office which was not really too far. But in recent years Vishwas has not really walked on busy streets like this. He bumps on one of his friends on the way. For a while Vishwas could not recognize his friend, because he was meeting him after years. This person has a very simple and low paying job. He is not even able to afford to keep his family with him in Mumbai, and staying in a small rented place. But he seems to be enjoying the life and Vishwas is surprised to see his friend dream with such a small income and meager life compared to him. After this he meets several people in his journey through the day and spends the day a bit of off track. Do watch in the movie "Eak Unad Diwas".
This a small movie with a different flavor. It touches so many incidence you and me might come across in our day to day life. But it definitely adds a different perspective to out thinking. Ashok Saraf is really good as usual. The initial serious and later jovial role is really depicted well by him. There are several actors in small roles, but the only significant role in the movie is Ashok Saraf. It is a must watch for Comedy and Ashok Saraf fans.
Please do write your comments on the movie and the review.
