Maidaan (above) and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan released mid-week. While initial global box office collections for both films are low, the producers will hope they pick up over the weekend.

The overseas performance of 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' and 'Maidaan' failed to set the box office on fire, marking a slow start for these Eid releases. As fans eagerly anticipated the arrival of these highly anticipated films, initial reports indicated a lukewarm response from international audiences.

'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan', a comedy-drama starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, failed to make a significant impact on its first day at the overseas box office. Despite the star power of its lead actors and the anticipation surrounding its release, the film struggled to attract audiences in international markets. The film grossed USD 600K (Rs 5 crore) approx on its first day overseas.

The underwhelming performance of these Eid releases underscores the challenges faced by Bollywood films in the global market. While Indian cinema has enjoyed widespread popularity abroad, certain factors such as competition from Hollywood releases and changing audience preferences have contributed to the subdued response to these films.

Despite the slow start, both 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' and 'Maidaan' have the potential to pick up momentum in the coming days. Word-of-mouth reviews and positive audience feedback could help drive ticket sales and propel these films to greater success at the overseas box office.

As the box office performance of these Eid releases continues to unfold, industry analysts will closely monitor their progress and assess their potential for success in international markets. While the initial response may have been tepid, there remains optimism that these films will find their audience and ultimately emerge as profitable ventures for their producers.
