'Maidaan Outperforms Bade Miyan Chote Miyan at Box Office in Second Week
Despite a late start, Maidaan's stability in its second week at the box office suggests a level of acceptance, albeit minimal. Conversely, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan's steep decline of over 80% from its first week reflects its poor reception.
Maidaan Adds More than Bade Miyan Chote Miyan
Maidaan's second-week earnings of Rs 10.50 crores nett surpass Bade Miyan Chote Miyan's Rs 6 crores nett. In the absence of significant new releases, both films may continue to linger at the box office, but their lack of appeal limits their potential. Their combined target in India is Rs 100 crores, while their combined worldwide gross is projected to be only Rs 165 crores against a budget of Rs 600 crores.
Box Office Failures Prompt Industry Adjustments
Maidaan's underperformance stems from its delayed release, while Bade Miyan Chote Miyan's dismal reception as a multi-starrer by a renowned director underscores the harsh reality facing the Hindi film industry. These box office failures have led to budget re-evaluations and a cautious approach to films with limited profit potential.
