Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in its first week earned Rs 49.9 crore, it entered the second week on a promising note as it earned Rs 1.3 crore on Friday, on Saturday it jumped to Rs 1.7crore and on Sunday it earned to Rs 2.25 crore. But on Monday the film crashed by more than 60 percent to collect just Rs 85 lakhs and maintained the same earning for the next two days, as per early estimates by tracker Sacnilk. The second week collection of the film stands at Rs 8.6 crore, which is slightly lower than Maidaan’s collection of Rs 10.2 crore. The total collection of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan now stands at Rs 58.50 crore.
The film has been made on a reported budget of Rs 350 crore. A significant portion of the budget was allocated to the salaries of the lead actors. According to a Financial Express report, Akshay received around Rs 80 crore, Tiger received Rs 40 crore, and Prithviraj received Rs 5 crore. The three actresses,
Manushi Chillar
,
Alaya F
, and
Sonakshi Sinha
, charged between Rs 1 to Rs 2 crore each. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is expected to have an extended theatrical run due to the absence of major film releases in the upcoming weeks.
