It was a very low Monday for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan as only 2.25 crores came in. On its opening day, the film had brought in Rs. 16.07 crores but since that was Eid, a drop was always expected. However, on Friday the film stood at 6.50 crores. Though even this was low, one would have gauged the drop from this day and hence even a 50% drop would have meant collections around the Rs. 3.75 crores mark.
Hence, with Monday turning out to be even lower, it’s really surprising. There are all sorts of offers also going around the ticket prices, but the numbers have just not come. More than surprisingly, it’s also very disappointing because by no means are these numbers justifying the kind of scale and setting at which the film has been made. Moreover, in all earnestly, this isn’t the kind of a film with such disastrous content that collections just don’t come in. Yes, there are certain issues for sure but still, there is a lot of action in there and at least at the mass centres such kind of content does pay off to some extent at least.
Nonetheless, what has happened has happened and now all involved with the film can well expect to move on to their next. Currently, the film stands at Rs. 40.32 crores and it would stay under the Rs. 50 crores mark by the close of extended first week. Post that, even though there are quite a few open weeks ahead, it would be difficult to imagine where Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will eventually conclude its theatrical run.
This one deserved better.
