On this day, which is Eid, two movies are being released: Maidaan, starring Ajay Devgan, and Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff. Films starring Ajay and Akshay would occasionally collide like this. Both have faced off at the box office six times before. Two movies are clashing on Eid for the first time in ten years at the same time.
Regarding the relationship between Eid and movie releases, Salman Khan's movies are frequently released on this noteworthy day. Only in 2020 and 2022 has a Salman movie been released on Eid in the past ten years.
Tell us the trade expert's thoughts on the conflict between Bade Miyan and Maidan. Chhote Miyan, let's see how Akshay, Tiger, and Ajay have performed over the past ten years. We'll also find out how Salman's flicks are doing on Eid. How are you doing?
Let's first hear from trade analyst Taran Adarsh on his thoughts on the conflict between Bade Mian, Chhote Mian, and Maidan.
Question: Ajay Devgan's film and Akshay Kumar-Tiger Shroff's film are competing on the occasion of Eid. What should I say about this?
The response is that neither of the two movies has very good advance sales. This could be due to a variety of factors. The first explanation is that both movies' release dates have been altered multiple times. As a result, the audience's enthusiasm for the movie wanes.
Still, it's undeniable that Maidan is an excellent movie. Since it's a biography, the only publicity this movie will receive is word-of-mouth.
Simultaneously, it is unexpected to observe the state of the younger and older brothers. This movie is in the action genre. Its advance booking is not particularly good in spite of this. It is in poor shape even after the Eid vacations. Regarding the last three action movies, Pathan, Jawan, and Animal had incredibly high advance bookings.
Who stands to gain from the success of Akshay and Devgan's prior films?
In response, Ajay's earlier movies, including Shaitan and Drishyam 2, have done incredibly well at the box office. Track records are at least somewhat helpful in this kind of scenario.
In addition, I think Ajay does a fantastic job acting in the movie Maidaan. Even though he has always been the finest, he will undoubtedly win major accolades for this movie.
Conversely, the action movie Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan. A large budget was used for its production. Ali Abbas Zafar, who has directed successful movies like Sultan and Tiger Zinda, is the film's director. This is the reason this movie will do well as well.
Only when Akshay's movie opens with an opening of Rs 20 crore will it be a box office success. This kind of opening, though, is not to be expected.
What will the opening-day box office totals for both movies be?
In my opinion, Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan has the potential to earn between 13 and 16 crores. Still, the movie needs to debut for at least Rs 20 crore.
Maidan is expected to open for an investment of Rs 7-8 crore at the same time. The business will gain a lot if both movies have a stronger premiere.
Is Salman Khan's fan base going to feel alone this Eid?
Answer: Salman's fans will undoubtedly miss him greatly. Salman brings a lot of value to Eid. None of his movies are currently ready for theaters to open, though. We must hold off until then.
Let's now discuss the state of the films starring Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Ajay Devgan during the last ten years:
Of the 26 films that Akshay released throughout the decade, six were box office failures.
From 2015 to 2024, Akshay Kumar starred in 26 different films. Six of them have been box office failures. The remaining movies were mediocre, super-hit, semi-hit, and hit. Only in 2020, out of these ten years, has an Akshay movie been released. This is because everyone was terrified of the Corona virus at that time.
Tiger only produced one hit and one box office success in ten years.
Just nine of Tiger Shroff's films have been released in the last ten years, according to his career chart. Every movie has a budget of no more than Rs 200 crore. Five of these nine movies have not done well at all. Only the 2019 war has been a blockbuster at the same time. Baaghi 2, Baaghi 3, and the rest were all mediocre hits. Only launched in 2023, Ganpat turned out to be a complete failure.
In the ten years after Ajay's 14 films were released, just 3 of them were box office failures.
In the ten years after Ajay's 14 films were released, just 3 of them were box office failures. Shivaay, Bhola, and Badshaho received medium pay. In contrast, one movie was a semi-hit and the other a superhit. Tanaji and Drishyam 2, directed by Ajay, turned out to be box office hits. Four more movies fell into the hit category.

Let's now discuss Salman's films' link to Eid.-
In ten years, Salman Khan had seven Eid film releases.
Salman Khan released seven films on Eid. These were released between 2015 and 2024. Only Radhe of 2021 turned out to be a catastrophe. Two films made ordinary money, and two were hits. At the box office, Salman's Sultan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, made history.
Based on a review of these seven films, not one of their budgets has exceeded Rs 170 crore. Despite costing Rs 90 crore to make, Bajrangi Bhaijaan brought in a staggering Rs 922.17 crore globally.
Salman hasn't had a film released on Eid 2024. Just two years out of the last ten years—2020 and 2022—have Salman's flicks not been released on Eid. But in these two years, no movie was released on Eid. At the same time, no movie coincided with Eid from 2015 to 2023.
