There were a lot of hopes from filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Apart from it being a high-octane action film, it is also a rare movie to star two massy heroes together; something not seen much in today’s times. However, the movie’s box office journey in week one was disappointing to say the least as it only managed to earn Rs. 46.17 crores.
Let’s have a look at how BMCM has fared in its first week in comparison to the week one score of other big releases of 2024. The film with the highest first week collection is Siddharth Anand’s Fighter with Rs. 139.50 crores, followed by Shaitaan and Crew with Rs. 81.60 crores and Rs. 47.54 crores respectively. Following these two films is Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
Interestingly, BMCM’s score in the first week is more than that of successful films like Article 370 (Rs. 38.82 crores) and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs. 41.97 crores). However, one needs to note that the budget and scale of BMCM are much higher than these two films and it enjoyed an extended week of eight days since it had released on Thursday.
Films with highest first week collections in week 1 at a glance:
Fighter – Rs. 139.50 cr
