The much awaited action comedy “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” was released on Thursday with a galaxy of stars including the main actor Tiger Shroff and the director Ali Abbas Zafar.
In a nostalgic nod to the late ’90s hit, “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” director Ali Abbas Zafar brings forth a reimagining that merges rib-tickling humor with bone-breaking action. With a stellar cast led by Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, Zafar injects new life into the classic buddy cop genre.
Plot and Direction
Zafar’s version centers on soldiers Freddy (Akshay Kumar) and Rocky (Tiger Shroff), a formidable duo tasked with an impossible mission against an anonymous enemy. As he weaves in his signature style of blending action, comedy, and thrill through ways of computers and science fiction dialogues, he makes sure that the narrative feels like nothing you have ever seen before.
Action Sequences and Choreography
Zafar doesn’t shy away from presenting heart-pumping action sequences filled with adrenaline. Every scene is an optical feast from complicated fight choreography to defy-gravity stunts. The film’s cinematography raises the stakes for its fast-paced drama as it ensures that audiences remain on edge throughout.
Balancing Action and Humor
Nevertheless, even though focusing primarily on action, Zafar employs humor well in this movie; fun or playfulness can be found throughout its plot. For example, dance numbers like “Mast Malang” or the track named after the film reinforce the entertainment value without derailing the progress of a storyline. They are adorable friends who make us follow their journey tightly.
Performance Highlights
Akshay Kumar’s charismatic role of Freddy is the leading one in the film. It is worth watching his action and humor skills, which he combines so effortlessly. As Rocky, Tiger Shroff brings his athletic prowess to the fore with youthful exuberance. The onscreen chemistry of both actors adds depth to their bromance.
Supporting Cast
Manushi Chhillar and Alaya F act well, and Sonakshi Sinha’s special appearance gives a nostalgic touch. Prithviraj’s Kabir is emblematic; it significantly contributes to the suspense that runs throughout the movie.
Additional Insights

Taking on X, netizens hailed the movie, and said, “BADE MIYAN CHOTE MIYAN review – “OVERLOADED WITH MASALA.” Meanwhile, others wrote, “Most Awaited Movie of the Year.”
According to Venky Reviews, “BadeMiyanChoteMiyan” is an average action film with good moments but unoriginal. The story operates under the common cliché where once a villain who was an ally of Indian forces is double crossed and gets back for revenge. Despite its foreseeable narrative, the critic emphasizes Akshay Kumar’s on-screen rapport with Tiger Shroff as well as some compelling action set pieces and an interesting performance from Prithviraj. However, the screenplay is predictable and doesn’t have a proper emotional connection and feels tiring after a while as we’ve seen the same structure in many movies. Overall, a so-so-time-pass film that is mostly forgettable.”
On its opening day, the action-packed film, featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, raked in ₹1.1 crore in box office earnings, as reported by tracking portal Sacnilk.com.
“BadeMiyanChoteMiyan” has received its first review, and it is filled with praise! This reviewer terms it a “knockout punch for Bollywood action”, giving it 4.5 stars out of 5. They hail the movie for being a visually stunning spectacle that will redefine Bollywood action movies through this unholy marriage of comedy and action.
In this film, Akshay and Tiger perform risky maneuvers while acting as two highly trained soldiers sent on a mission to recover an AI weapon stolen by a formidable enemy.
Pooja Entertainment in association with AAZ brings Bade Miyan Chote Miyan into life; starring Manushi Chhillar and Alaya F among others.
