'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' and 'Maidaan' witness a slow start at the overseas box office

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.

Similarly, 'Maidaan,' a sports drama featuring Ajay Devgn in the lead role, also experienced a lacklustre opening at the overseas box office. Despite its compelling storyline and the buzz surrounding its release, the film failed to generate the desired traction among international viewers and minted around USD 150K (Rs 1.25 crore).

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.
