On Friday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the opening day box office figures of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan He posted a detailed note on X (formerly Twitter) that read, “Despite timing its release on the big holiday [#Eid], #BadeMiyanChoteMiyan doesn't live up to the mammoth expectations on Day 1… The big total - expected on a national holiday - is clearly missing… Thu ₹ 16.07 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice #BMCM.”
Taran Adarsh continued, “With a dream cast + lavish making + holiday factor + aggressive promotions + terrific track record of its director, #BMCM should've opened anywhere between ₹ 25 cr and ₹ 30 cr [even higher] on Day 1… The numbers, frankly, are way below expectations, since the costs are extremely high. Going forward, it's very, very important for #BMCM to score big numbers from Fri to Sun for a respectable 4-day extended weekend total… It's a wait and watch situation right now.”
In an NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Bade Miyan Chote Miyan 1 out of 5 stars and said, “The story is astonishingly hollow. Freddy and Rocky, two crack soldiers, are court-martialled and dismissed from the Army for insubordination. It is not until much later in the film that the audience is able to figure out why. But before we get to that point, we find Freddy working in an oil mine in a desert and Rocky fighting a fire and rescuing a trapped cat in Delhi.”
“Even before that, a protracted action sequence is mounted to let the world know why the two men are regarded as such a dreaded pair of extraction specialists. India's ambassador to Kabul and his family are taken captive by terrorists. Freddy and Rocky ride on their steeds and barge into the camp,” Saibal Chatterjee added.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan also stars Manushi Chillar and Alaya Furniturewalla.
