What happens

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (transl. Big Mister and Little Mister) is a 1998 Indian Hindi-language buddy cop action comedy film directed by David Dhawan and produced by Vashu Bhagnani under Pooja Entertainment. The film, which was the first Hindi film to be shot in the Ramoji Film City, stars Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda playing dual roles, alongside Raveena Tandon, Ramya Krishnan, Anupam Kher, Paresh Rawal, Sharat Saxena and Satish Kaushik. The core plot of the film is borrowed from Bengali film Bhranti Bilas (1963), a reworking of William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, and also is an adaptation of the 1995 American film Bad Boys. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was theatrically released on 16 October 1998 and became 4th highest grossing Hindi films of 1998, despite clashing with Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
