Bade Miyan Chote Miyan review: Fighter & Pathaan director Siddharth Anand praises Tiger Shroff but skips tagging Akshay Kumar

After long anticipation and wait, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff starrer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan released today at the box office. Amid the humongous buzz, blockbuster filmmaker Siddharth Anand, who directed movies like War, Pathaan and Fighter, reviewed the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial and lauded the action-entertainer.

While the filmmaker praised Tiger Shroff, he skipped tagging Akshay Kumar in his review, which raised the eyebrows of the netizens. Taking to Instagram stories, he wrote, “Tiger Shroff, my Munna! You were too good! So refreshing to see you in a light hearted and fun role after long.. Good luck, Ali Abbas Zafar, bro! Wish you big success again! Thoroughly enjoyed the film.. fun banters, filled with action and a superb interval twist! Extremely well produced so congratulations Vashuji and Jacky! Go enjoy the film on the big screen guys!!!”

For the unversed, Tiger Shroff and Siddharth Anand worked together in Hrithik Roshan starrer War , which earned over Rs 300 crore at the domestic box office.

Bankrolled by Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Jackky Bhagnani, Himanshu Kishan Mehra and Ali Abbas Zafar, the film also features Prithviraj Sukumaran, Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F and Manushi Chillar in pivotal roles.

Talking about the review, Firstpost gave Bade Miyan Chote Miyan 2.5 stars and wrote, Ali Abbas Zafar, who has impressed us with great action and massy sequences in Tiger Zinda Hai, failed to recreate that magic with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Despite having a big scale and all the noise, the action pieces were not up to the mark. The narrative along with twists and turns looked pretty much predictable. The biggest issue was that the core point of conflict between the antagonist and protagonists didn’t seem convincing enough. The runtime of 164 minutes (2 hours 44 minutes) makes this movie unnecessarily over-stretched.
