Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's highly-anticipated actioner 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' has failed to live up to expectations at the box office. After a decent opening weekend, the film has witnessed a steep decline in collections, making it unlikely to reach the coveted Rs 100 crore mark.
Opening Weekend Performance
'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' opened to mixed reviews on January 12, 2023. Despite the star power of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, the film struggled to generate buzz among audiences. It collected a modest Rs 24.53 crore on its opening day, followed by Rs 21.93 crore and Rs 19.38 crore on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
Steep Decline in Collections
However, the film's collections plummeted sharply during the weekdays. On Monday, the film earned only Rs 6.12 crore, a drop of over 50% from the previous day. The decline continued throughout the week, with the film collecting Rs 4.75 crore, Rs 5.11 crore, and Rs 5.88 crore on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, respectively.
Box Office Collection Day 15
As of Day 15, 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' has collected a total of Rs 67.8 crore net at the domestic box office. This is a significant decline from the Rs 89.23 crore net collected by another recent Akshay Kumar film, 'Emperor Prithviraj,' in its first 15 days.
Unlikely to Reach Rs 100 Crore
Based on its current trajectory, 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' is unlikely to cross the Rs 100 crore mark, which is considered a benchmark for success for big-budget Bollywood films. Trade analysts predict that the film will end its box office run with a total collection of around Rs 80-85 crore.
Factors Contributing to the Decline
Several factors may have contributed to the film's underwhelming performance at the box office, including:
Mixed reviews:
Critics and audiences were divided in their opinions about the film, with some praising the action sequences but criticizing the story and screenplay.
Competition:
'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' faced stiff competition from other recent releases, such as 'Pathaan' and 'Varisu,' both of which performed well at the box office.
Audience fatigue:
The film may have suffered from audience fatigue due to the recent release of several other big-budget action films, such as '83,' 'RRR,' and 'Brahmastra.'
Despite the disappointing box office performance of 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,' Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff remain bankable stars in the Indian film industry. They will be hoping to bounce back with their upcoming releases, which include 'Selfiee' and 'Ganapath,' respectively.
