"The much-anticipated film starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan', has had a sluggish start at the Indian box office. Despite the Eid holiday boost, early estimates suggest a lukewarm opening day collection of Rs. 15 to 16 crores. The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial, backed by external support, fell short of expectations, with single screens failing to draw anticipated crowds."
The highly anticipated release of 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan', featuring Bollywood stalwarts Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, commenced with a lackluster performance at the Indian box office. Despite the added advantage of the Eid holiday, the action-packed entertainer fell short of expectations, garnering an estimated Rs. 15 to 16 crores on its opening day. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and buoyed by external support, the film failed to resonate strongly with audiences, particularly in single screens where footfall remained below anticipated levels. Although the Eid holiday provided a slight uplift, it wasn't sufficient to propel the film to the anticipated heights. Notably, the film amassed Rs. 7.75 crores across major national chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, contributing around 50 percent to its total business. However, the anticipated turnout from mass belts did not materialize as expected. As the industry shifts its focus to weekend projections, all eyes are keenly set on whether 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' can regain momentum and draw larger crowds in the days ahead.
