Maidaan Vs Bade Miyan Chote Miyan
Maidaan hit theaters with a full-fledged release on April 11, 2024, but eager audiences had the opportunity to catch paid previews of the film starting from 6 pm on April 10. The initial responses to Maidaan were positive, contrasting with the lukewarm reception received by Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which failed to impress critics and audiences alike.
