Director Ali Abbas Zafar’s action film ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, has been raking in moolah despite getting poor reviews from critics and fans alike. However, the film is now dominating the box office even in its second week in theatres, and has raced past ahead of the other fresh releases like ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ and ‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2’. Albeit, on their first Sunday, the two films saw a slight increase in their daily earnings, but are yet to pass the crucial Monday test.

Shirsha Guha Thakurta’s ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’, starring Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi, saw a dismal opening of Rs 55 lakh (domestic nett), but witnessed a 72.73 per cent increase in collections on Saturday, when it earned Rs 95 lakh. On Sunday, the film performed better and collected an India nett collection of Rs 1.1 crore, taking its total to Rs 2.65 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk.

The film collected a mere Rs 15 lakh and Rs 12 lakh on Friday and Saturday, respectively, and now the film’s total domestic nett now stands at Rs 79 lakh.
