Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

During the initial 30-35 minutes (until the title card appeared), I was actually enjoying the ride.

The action sequences were engaging, the grandeur of the production was impressive, and most importantly, I found myself quite entertained by the friendly banter between Akshay and Tiger.

However, following this promising start, the quality of the film took a sharp decline shortly thereafter.

The writing, action sequences, and performances all suffered a noticeable drop in quality. The screenplay became sloppy and muddled, the dialogues became quite generic and cheesy.

For me however, the biggest surprise was to witness the sheer inefficiency of the action pieces. Inspite of their scale and intent, they failed to make a lasting impact on me.

For a movie that was specifically marketed as an action entertainer, it is disappointing to say the least.

P. S. I liked Prithvi in here, he did good, his commitment was more visible compared to others.

Bade Miya Chote Miyan, helmed by director Ali Abbas Zafar, embarks on an ambitious journey but falters due to its lackluster screenplay, cringe-worthy dialogues, and subpar performances. Each actor, notably Alaya F, fails to deliver convincingly, while the actions feel passé, reminiscent of clichés seen in prior productions. Regrettably, the film lacks standout moments; its plot twists are predictable, and there's a conspicuous absence of gripping action sequences. Cinematography is passable, and the background score, though serviceable, fails to elevate the viewing experience. Moreover, the song choices feel out of sync with the narrative. The narrative's disjointedness leaves viewers bewildered within the first half-hour, resulting in an overall disappointing cinematic experience. Overall, 'Bade Miya Chote Miyan' falls short of expectations, marking an epic letdown.

The movie lacks everything. There is no storyline, the actions sequences are copied and performed badly,the music is below average, acting department lacks conviction. Why on earth Akshay was sporting a fake moustache? What were Manushi and Alaya F doing in the movie. They should first join some acting schools. The direction is also mediocre to say the least. The dialogues are cringe. Akshay seems to sleep walk through the entire movie. Tiger needs to buckle up and choose his scripts wisely as he is giving disaster after disaster. 350 Cr were spent on this bogus product. I wasted my time and would request viewers not to waste theirs.

I was really hoping for this movie to be good based on the trailer. A great trailer, well cut, with well done sequences and a bit of comedy with loads of action. But when you watch the movie, the trailer turns out to be fools gold. Supposedly cool one liners are unimpressive and badly delivered by Tiger. For AK, it now seems like a 9-5 job to churn out as many movies as he can. He looks uninterested and has given a clumsy performance.

The only right casting in this action movie is Prithviraj. He tried to hold it together on the behalf of everyone throughout the movie. The story is illogical and the mindless action tries to cover up the bad performances by the leading ladies of the movie. It looked like their faces were stunned before starting the shoot everyday. Action in the movie lacks conviction and a fairy tale plot is the undoing of the movie. The second star in the rating is for Prithviraj.

Dude, I was so hyped for "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan." Like, seriously, a desi buddy-cop flick with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff? Sign. Me. Up. But let me tell you, this movie left me feeling more disappointed than after finding out the pizza place was closed.

Director Zafar seems stuck on repeat. Instead of something fresh, we get reheated Bollywood clichés. The only surprising thing was the pre-interval helicopter stunt, and even that felt more like a magic trick than anything mind-blowing. The rest of the action scenes? Total snoozefest. Shaky camerawork made it impossible to see the fight choreography, and the whole thing felt rushed and forgettable.

Don't get me wrong, I love Kumar and Shroff. They're both awesome actors. But the script did them a dirty trick. Their banter felt forced, and their characters had zero depth. They never clicked as a team, which left me wondering why they were even paired up. Even the villain, played with some energy by Prithviraj Sukumaran, couldn't save this flick from being a total meh.

The jokes were stale, like week-old reheated puns that wouldn't even make my dad laugh (and trust me, that's a low bar). The plot itself was a narrative wasteland, with no real stakes or emotional connection. Zafar's previous films at least had a touch of heart or social commentary, but "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan" felt completely hollow.

Adding to the disappointment was Alaya F's performance as Pam. Her acting felt one-note and forgettable. It makes you wonder if a more experienced actress could have brought more life to the role and maybe even lifted up the whole movie.

Honestly, skip this one. Bollywood has tons of fantastic comedies and action flicks. Don't waste your time on this forgettable mess with recycled jokes, generic action, and zero originality. Do yourself a favor and find something else to watch. You deserve way better.
