Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Box Office Day 1: Akshay And Tiger's Film Performs Well, Earns Rs 15.50 Cr

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Box Office Collections Day 1: Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, released on Eid, April 11, amid much fanfare. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film marks Akshay and Tiger’s first onscreen collaboration. As per the early estimates, the film, which had sold over 1 lakh tickets in its advance sales, has got a decent opening.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan earned over Rs 15.5 crore net in India for all languages on its first day, according to the industry tracker Sacnilk.com. The film had an overall 30.35 per cent Hindi Occupancy on its release day.

News18 Showsha rated the film 3/5. Talking about Akshay and Tiger’s performances, our review stated, “Akshay and Tiger take on the roles of Captain Freddy and Captain Rocky, respectively. Their fun banters where they try to one-up each other provide a much needed respite amid all the combat scenes. Tiger gets almost all the funny one-liners and repartees (‘yeh aadmi hai ya dandruff, jaata hi nahi’, for instance) and he plays a role that’s tailor-made for him. Chote is suave, swashbuckling and a smooth charmer who revels in his comfort zone as he kicks and walks on air every now and then. Akshay is equally heroic and some of their scenes together are pure gold.”

However, it was Prithviraj Sukumaran, the antagonist of the film, who stole the show. “He dishes out some ultra-cool vibes in a black mask and keeps you on the edge in the first half. In Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, he plays to the gallery and pitches his performance several notches higher than what we usually see him do. His histrionics don’t always work and his deep, dubbed voice doesn’t quite add to his sinister motives. However, his Kabir walks the thin line between being an ambitious dreamer and a revengeful psychopath and he does a great job at that. Prithviraj seems to be reveling in his villain era and many a times, this anti-hero ends up stealing the thunder from the protagonists,” read our review.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was earlier scheduled to be released in theatres on April 10 along with Ajay Devgn starrer Maidaan. However, after it was confirmed that Eid will be celebrated in India on April 11, the release date of both the movies was changed to April 11.
