Race to Box Office 2024: Bade Miyan Chote Miyan secures 3rd and Maidaan 9th spot at Box Office Collections chart!

With combined sales of less than Rs 20 crores, both of the Eid movies have underperformed in terms of first revenue. Now, everything depends on how well the two movies do in the next days.

Despite being a holiday, the opening day box office receipts for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and starring Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Alaya F, Manushi Chhillar, and Sonakshi Sinha, and Maidaan, directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma and starring Ajay Devgn, Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and others, were disappointing. The majority of moviegoers liked Bade Miyan Chote Miyan over the other film, but it doesn't really mean anything when the numbers are this low—especially for a front-loaded actioner.

Miyan Bade Chote Miyan became the third best Hindi film of 2024 in India with an opening of approximately Rs 15 crores nett (Rs 18.50 crore gross), only behind Shaitaan and Fighter. Prior to the release, the advance reservations indicated a far lower opening day; nevertheless, in the final hours, there was an unusual spike in sales, which raised the initial projections. Accompanying that were respectable spot bookings for the Akshay Kumar-Tiger Shroff action film. The collections were comparatively superior abroad. With previews included, the movie has made almost Rs 28 crores on its first day worldwide after earning about 1.15 million dollars (about Rs 9.50 crores) in just two days.

On its first day of release, Maidaan had a miserable start, earning about Rs 4 crores nett. After Fighter, Ajay Devgn's own Shaitaan, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Crew, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Article 370, Yodha, and Crakk, it was the eighth-biggest opening of 2024. Notably, these releases coincided with the Eid holiday. With the paid previews included on the tenth night, Maidaan has made about Rs 6 crores nett (about Rs 7.25 crores gross). Maidaan is not receiving the expected amount of money abroad either, as it has made about $100,000 (about Rs. 85 lakhs in gross revenue) in just two days. As of right now, Maidaan has grossed between Rs. 8 and Rs. 25 crores.

The day following Eid is seeing a decline in the box office receipts for both films. It appears that Maidaan has a far stronger relative hold than Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Neither of the two movies is going to make much money in the end because of their enormous expenditures.

Sara Ali Khan’s NONSTOP Murder Mubarak and Ae Watan Mere Watan Promotions despite burns on belly!

In a recent video, Sara Ali Khan, known for her distinctive poetry delivery, disclosed that she suffered burns on her stomach while juggling the promotion of Murder Mubarak and Ae Watan Mere Watan.

One of the most well-liked actresses in Bollywood is Sara Ali Khan. Her two upcoming films, Murder Mubarak and Ae Watan Mere Watan, are currently anticipated by her. Both highly anticipated movies, though very different in genre, offer family-friendly enjoyment. However, Sara is also handling the promotion of both movies at the same time. She then proceeded to have a small stomach injury after this. She posted the news on social media using her own "Namaste Darshakon" aesthetic.

On March 6, Sara Ali Khan posted a vibrant video from her vanity van on Instagram, sporting her signature "Namaste Darshakon" look. In the video, one of her anxious employees says, "This is not something to be happy about as her belly is burnt," as she gets ready for the promotions in her makeup area. Sara maintained her positive attitude despite the wound and posted, “Namaste Darshakon, Jab aap kar rahe ho 2 filmon ka promotion (When you are doing promotion of two films), there is bound to be some commotion,” and caresses her worker’s cheek.

She further shares, “Ab kya karein jal gaya mera pet, ho gayi main late (what to do now, my belly is burnt, and I’ve got late), everybody has to wait,” further addressing her staff member, Jamna who she says is looking sad because the burn is very bad and she signs off. The actress, who was dressed casually, had also applied the ointment crème to her tummy.

She further added a poetic caption alongside the post as she wrote, “Welcome to

Sara ka Sara Radio

Aaj ki taaza khabbar I got burnt

Kya Kare lesson is learned

What can we say- bad bad luck

But kamsekam it’s not Murder Mubarak

Murder Mubarak out on 15th March only on @netflix_in

Ae Watan Mere Watan out on 21st March only on @primevideoin.”

Directed by Homi Adajania, the mystery-thriller Murder Mubarak will feature important performances from Sara Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Vijay Varma, Sanjay Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, and Pankaj Tripathi, among others. However, Kannan Iyer's patriotic period drama Ae Watan Mere Watan, supported by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, is a film. On March 15 and March 21, respectively, both films will be available on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
