Bollywood Wastes Prithviraj’s Talent Once Again!

The Telugu audiences are not aware of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s career before ‘Salaar’. Though they are familiar with his name, we have not watched enough movies of him. He is a big star in Malayalam but none of his movies were dubbed and released in Telugu before. With him gaining a lot of craze after ‘Salaar’ and people started watching his previous movies and realises how great of an actor he is.

His passion for his craft is visible in his latest venture ‘Goat Life’. He spent 16 years on this project and underwent severe physical challenges to play the role. His performance was Oscar-worthy and he is an actor who can take your breath away. He is known for playing key roles in other language movies and Prithviraj always proved his mettle in whatever role he got.

But Bollywood has failed to utilize such a terrific actor once again. He did movies like ‘Aiyyaa’ and ‘Aurangzeb’ which ended up being failures. He was underutilized in those movies as well. He played the role of a villain in Bollywood’s latest high-budget action flick ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’.

People expected a lot from his role after the trailer got released. But the character is very poorly written and director Ali Abbas Zafar should be blamed for putting a mask on Prithviraj for most part of the movie. His voice of modified and we don’t get to see his performance at any point in the movie. One wonders what made an actor like Prithviraj to take up such a bad role and an even worse film.

Bade Miya Chote Miyan 1+1 Promotion Fails to Spark Interest

The revival of the classic comedy duo Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan” seems to have hit a snag. The film’s attempt to woo audiences with a “buy one, get one free” ticket offer failed to generate significant interest, raising concerns about the movie’s commercial prospects though it has touched ₹100 crores gross mark already.

This promotional strategy, often employed to boost ticket sales for opening weekends, appears to have backfired for “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan.” Industry experts speculate that factors like lacklustre trailers or competition from other releases might be dampening audience enthusiasm to buy tickets for this Akshay-Tiger starrer. While coffers filled up to ₹100 crores gross, that wouldn’t be sufficient as the film’s budget is more than ₹300 crores.

The film serves as a sequel to the 1998 hit of the same name, originally starring Govinda and Ram Kapoor. Replicating the magic of the original has proven a challenge, though Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are known for their box office pull, even their star power seems insufficient to overcome the current lull.

Even the glam dose of Manushi Chillar and Alaya F, along with Prithviraj Sukumaran’s villainy failed to click. The coming days will be crucial for “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan” as it attempts to turn things around and find its footing at the box office.
