The Eid releases could not benefit much from the partial holiday of Ram Navmi as Bade Miyan Chote Miyan collected 2.25 crore nett which is a 10% jump from the previous day while Maidaan went up by 25% as it collected 2 crore nett.

This now takes Bade Miyan Chote Miyan to around 46 crore nett while Maidaan stands at 26.25 crore nett. The combined total of both films is 72 crore nett and 100 crore nett combined is not a foregone conclusion though with open period and incentives which will come you would think the films can at least do 100 crore nett combined.

The week was a fantastic week for collections with first the Eid period and then a weekday boost from Ram Navmi but it has all gone all wrong with content of both films not appealing. The marginal jumps on Ram Navmi shows the rejection of both films.

It will be testing times for exhibitors as these two films were supposed to give some breathing space with limited releases over the election period but both films were pretty much dead on arrival.
