Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, helmed by director Ali Abbas Zafar, hit the big screens on April 11, aiming to captivate audiences with its star-studded cast featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff. The film’s opening weekend witnessed a commendable performance, accumulating a total of ₹40.75 crore in box office earnings over four days.

However, the real test for any film arrives on its first Monday, often referred to as the litmus test, as it reflects the audience’s sustained interest and the film’s potential for longevity at the ticket window. Unfortunately for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Monday brought a significant decline in earnings, with the film collecting only ₹2.50 crore on its fifth day of release.
Produced by Pooja Entertainment and AAZ Films, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan boasts an ensemble cast including Sonakshi Sinha, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Alaya F, and Manushi Chillar. The film, released in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Kannada, debuted strongly with ₹15.65 crore net earnings on day one.
However, the following days witnessed a noticeable drop in box office collections, with earnings plummeting to ₹7.6 crore and ₹8.5 crore on days two and three, respectively. Despite a slight uptick on day four, with earnings reaching ₹9.05 crore, the significant drop on the fifth day poses a challenge for the film’s sustained success.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, boasting a budget of ₹300 crore, was filmed across various exotic locations including Mumbai, Jordan, London, and Dubai, among others. Despite its lavish production and star-studded cast, the film’s total collection at the Indian box office currently stands at ₹43.30 crore, according to industry trade tracker sacnilk.com.
BMCM vs Maidaan
With its current trajectory, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, featuring action-packed performances by Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, faces the risk of fading from theaters by the end of its second week. The film encountered competition from Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan, but neither film managed to surpass expectations at the box office, diminishing the significance of their clash.
Maidaan, despite being highly anticipated, also struggled to make a mark, with its total collection still falling below ₹30 crore. The underwhelming performance of both films underscores the challenges faced by Bollywood productions in captivating audiences amidst increasing competition and evolving audience preferences.
