Action entertainers have always worked very well in Bollywood. In fact, this genre garners the most attention among cine-goers. Unfortunately, that is not the case for Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Prithviraj led Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which is struggling in terms of advance booking sales. Scroll below for all the details!
Ali Abbas Zafar, the man behind box office successes like Tiger Zinda Hai and Sultan, has directed Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. There are multiple reasons why fans should have already booked their tickets for BMCM. Akshay Kumar returns to his Khiladi avatar, while Tiger Shroff accompanies him in the action drama. Prithviraj will be seen as the antagonist. Despite all the favorable reasons, there has been no conversion.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Day 1 Advance Booking
As per the latest updates flowing in, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan has added 1.20 crores gross (excluding blocked seats) to advance booking collections on day 1. This is a considerable growth compared to yesterday’s numbers of 44 lakhs. But is that enough? Certainly not.
Shaitaan was made on a mere budget of 65 crores, but the pre-release hype was massive to garner pre-booking sales of 4.20 crores gross on the opening day. But a film like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which is made at a staggering cost of 350 crores, is even far from that mark.
So far, BMCM has sold around 47,000+ tickets and is soon to hit the 50,000 milestone. With less than 24 hours to go, there is very little hope for this Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff starrer. It will now be largely dependent on word-of-mouth.
BMCM vs Maidaan
BMCM is releasing on the occasion of Eid 2024. The action-thriller will be competing with Maidaan at the box office. Ajay Devgn is fresh from the success of Shaitaan. So it is now to be seen whether he will lead this race from the word go.
Both films were earlier scheduled for April 10 release but postponed their release to make the most of the Eid holiday across the country.
