In a surprising turn of events, the makers of two highly anticipated Bollywood films, “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” and “Maidaan,” have decided to revise their release strategy. Originally slated for a full-day release on April 10th, the films will now hit the screens from 6 PM onwards, a move attributed to the looming uncertainty surrounding Eid, which may fall on April 11th.
“Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” featuring the dynamic duo of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, initially faced skepticism due to lackluster promotional material. However, despite average songs and a below-par trailer, the film has managed to garner significant anticipation and is poised to offer a unique cinematic experience.
Meanwhile, “Maidaan,” starring Ajay Devgn, has been perceived as a content-driven film with a patriotic theme. Although none of its songs achieved chartbuster status, positive reviews are expected to drive its success, potentially leading to a prolonged theatrical run.
The decision to delay the release timings stems from a joint meeting held by the respective production teams. Disappointing advance booking numbers, coupled with the uncertainty surrounding the Eid holiday, prompted the alteration in plans.
Multiplexes have assured patrons that tickets purchased for the morning to 6 PM shows on April 10th will be fully refunded. This adjustment has sparked curiosity among industry observers, who are keen to see if the revised release strategy will bolster ticket sales for both films.
With both “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” and “Maidaan” vying for audience attention, the clash between these two major releases promises an intriguing battle at the box office this Eid.
