Bade Miyan Chote Miyan vs Maidaan Box Office: Akshay Kumar’s Movie Takes Lead But Ajay Devgn’s Film Is High On Expectations

Big Weekend at the Box Office: Akshay vs. Ajay in Eid Release

Two big movies are hitting theaters this Eid weekend, and there’s a lot of excitement for both! Here’s the breakdown:

• Action Comedy vs. Sports Drama: Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff team up for the action-packed comedy “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” while Ajay Devgn stars in the biographical sports drama “Maidaan.”
• Early Lead for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan: Ticket sales are strong for both films, but “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” seems to be edging ahead with more tickets sold in advance bookings.
• No Competition, All Opportunity: There aren’t any other major releases this month, so both movies should have a good chance to succeed at the box office.
