Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is a 1998 Indian Hindi action comedy film starring Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in double roles along with Ramya Krishnan, Raveena Tandon, Anupam Kher and Madhuri Dixit in a special appearance. Directed by David Dhawan, the mahurat shot of the film was done on 22 December 1996 by Shweta Bachchan. It was released on 16 October 1998 along with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was the first box office hit of Amitabh Bachchan since his comeback after a few years of hiatus from Bollywood. The film was the second highest grosser of the year after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
A woman Neha (Ramya Krishnan) witnesses the murder of a friend of her named Madhu (Divya Dutta) by a notorious smuggler Zorawar (Paresh Rawal) but she skips while being chased by Zorawar's goons and ends up in the secure custody of police inspector Arjun Singh (Amitabh Bachchan), a friend of police inspector Pyare Mohan (Govinda). In reality, Neha, unaware of their identities, believes Arjun to be "Pyare", about whom she was agreeably apprised of by Madhu, and so, Arjun has to impersonate Pyare, giving rise to hilarious situations. Concurrently, Pyare flirts with Seema (Raveena Tandon) - Arjun's sister. Everything could have been passable for the two cops if two lookalikes of the cops, by the nicknames "Bade Miyan" (Amitabh Bachchan) and "Chote Miyan" (Govinda) had not been a cause of concern for them because of the misdeeds they commit leading to Arjun and Pyare being accused as the miscreants every time. With background scores of the songs (specially "Bade Miyan Toh Bade Miyan") that stir the listeners, the movie advances through scenes of thrill and amusement.
This movie is inspired from the 1995 action-comedy Hollywood film Bad Boys' directed by Michael Bay
