Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

If you r in mood for fun...and want to just relax and enjoy...bade Miyan Chote Miyan is one of the movies to watch. Amitabh started off pretty good...but it is Govinda who steals the show from his hands... awesome timing for and good dialog delivery.....its inspired from Bad boys... but it has Indian Masala to it... people think it might be confusing and stupid...but the fact that David Dhavan is directing and Govinda is acting... should not raise any questions....other recommended movies in the same genre(David Dhavan/Govinda combo)...are Shola Aur Shabnam, Aankhen, Raja Babu, Saajan Chale Sasural, Deewana Mastana, Collie no. 1, Jodi no. 1, Hero no.1, Haseena Manjayegi, Ek Aur Ek Gyarah.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan review :

A much needed hit for Amitabh Bachchan in his otherwise dull late 90s phase; Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (BMCM) saw him collaborating with the super successful Govinda - David Dhawan jodi for a mindless zany entertainer which struck the right chord with the audience.

Released during Diwali weekend in 1998, BMCM was inspired from multiple sources from Bollywoods Angoor (1982) to Hollywoods Bad Boys (1995). It had both Amitabh and Govinda in double roles - as cops and chors- whose "adla badli" leads to some hilarious situations. Kader Khan in a cameo, is also in a double role and that restaurant scene still makes me laugh. So does Satish Kaushik's Sharafat Ali and his jhonga jeep story..

The sexy Ramya Krishnan was cast opposite Big B while Raveena Tandon grooved with Govinda to "Kisi Disco mein jaaye". The only film to feature Amitabh and Madhuri together, the Makhna item number became the films highlight.

This was amongst the last hit of Amitabh's glorious innings as lead hero (starting from early 70s) and he began a fresh innings in 2000 by taking on the highly appreciated character role in Aditya Chopra's Mohabbatein as well as appearing as the host in Kaun Banega Crorepati. New millenium - new change. Thats Bachchan Senior for you who always re-invented himself with the times.

As for BMCM, it remains a complete timepass entertainment leaving you no time to think and ponder; I still enjoy it whenever it plays on satellite tv. Dont miss if you havent seen yet!!

Bachchan's films post 1997 were flopping like no day this is his only hit those days

The film was a remake of BAD BOYS(first half)

It's a David Dhawan comedy so there are lot of funny situations but the movie is a cool timepass entertainer

The first half is full of fun with romance too

The second half is more on the robbers lookalikes of Bachchan and Govinda and the film gets more funny but sometimes sort of crude too considering it being made by DD

Climax is funny too but too overdone

Direction by DD is good Music is okay

Amongst actors Amitabh looks aged and wrinkled but does his part very well and pairs off well with Govinda and in the other role he does a great job as the Bihari robber Govinda suits such roles to the T and is a pleasure in both roles Amongst rest Ramya and Raveena are the heroines Anupam Kher is as usual Paresh Rawal is alright Sharat Saxena is okay

The first 2 hours are okay, but then it just turns to garbage, but fun garbage nonetheless. The songs in this movie are great. I understand that the first two hours of the movie was supposed to be a take on the movie Bad Boys, but after the bad boys story line is over the movie just goes into a downward spiral. I give it a 5 out of 10.

I strongly believe remakes (no dubs) are original enough to be given independent rating. Hence I would benchmark BMCM(Bade Miyaan CHote Miyaan) with itself.

Give your brains, stressed minds some rest and laugh your heart out watching this fun riot. Govinda's funny accent, coupled with Amitabh's acting, Satish Kaushik's on-liners this movie has everything that entertainment can define.

Agreed that the actresses in this movie were dampeners, but their roles were not. The movie has terrific one liners, comical setup, exciting and funny finish. Songs are colorful and funny too. Best one for me being "Makhna..." with Madhuri.

It is surely one of those movies which you can pick up when you are not sure what to watch. Go for it folks!
