The much-anticipated film featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, faced a significant setback on its crucial Monday test, witnessing a sharp decline in collections. Initial estimates indicate that the film managed to gather a mere Rs. 2.25 to 2.50 crores on its fifth day, bringing its total earnings to Rs. 40 crores over the span of five days. Despite the enticing offer of tickets priced at Rs. 127 in select theaters, the film failed to sustain its momentum.
With a budget exceeding Rs. 350 crores, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is now poised to become one of the biggest failures in Hindi Cinema history. The disappointing performance is evident not only in multiplexes but also in single screens, where one would expect action-packed films featuring popular stars to flourish. The current collections are lackluster at best, and if the current trend persists, the film’s lifetime business is projected to fall below Rs. 60 crores.
The industry is reeling from the shock of such underwhelming numbers, highlighting the immense financial losses incurred by the producers. Despite the star power and anticipation surrounding the project, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’s inability to resonate with audiences across all segments has proven to be its downfall.”
