Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Eyes £51M Milestone By Day 9 Amidst Box Office Struggle
Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's cinematic venture, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, has been the talk of the town since its announcement. This high-budget action entertainer, also starring Manushi Chhillar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Alaya F, opened to decent audience reviews. Despite the anticipation and star power, the film's performance at the box office has been less than stellar.
After a promising start with an opening collection of Rs 15.65 crores, making it the second-highest opener, the film's revenue saw a significant downturn. Post-opening weekend, it struggled to cross the Rs 3 crore mark in a single day. As it entered its second week, the downward trend continued, with daily collections further dropping.

Recent reports indicate a continued decline in box office numbers for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. On its eighth day, the film managed to collect only Rs 1.55 crores, bringing its total earnings to approximately Rs 49.8 crores. Predictions for day 9 suggest a collection of Rs 1-2 crores, as it slowly approaches the Rs 51 crore mark.
| Day 1 (First Thursday): | Rs 15.65 crores |
| Day 2 (First Friday): | Rs 7.6 crores |
| Day 3 (First Saturday): | Rs 8.5 crores |
| Day 4 (First Sunday): | Rs 9.05 crores |
| Day 5 (First Monday): | Rs 2.5 crores |
| Day 6 (First Tuesday): | Rs 2.4 crores |
| Day 7 (First Wednesday): | Rs 2.5 crores |
| Day 8 (Second Thursday): | Rs 1.55 crores |
The film's box office journey is further complicated by its competition with Ajay Devgn's Maidaan. This isn't the first box office face-off between Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, but Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is facing stiff competition. Additionally, with Ekta Kapoor and Dibakar Banerjee's Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 (LSD 2) releasing today, it remains to be seen how Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will fare against this new contender.
The film's struggle at the box office highlights the unpredictable nature of cinema where not all big-budget films guarantee blockbuster success. Despite having a strong cast and crew, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan's performance underscores the challenges faced by filmmakers in capturing audience interest and sustaining it post-release.
