This movie came at a time when every big heroine wanted to act opposite either to the Khans or Govinda. Govinda was at the top of his game in those days. Even his flop movies used to do more business than average movies. Especially David Dhawan and Govinda combination was like Shahrukh-K Jo combination.Amitabh was trying his hand at his comeback.He desperately needed a hit at that time.This movie and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" were released on the same day. Though KKHH went on to become a blockbuster, this movie was nonetheless entertaining.Raveena was probably the only actress after Karishma who could match up to Govinda's standards. Even though she was nothing when compared to Karishma who shared an incomparable chemistry with Govinda, she was only other possible alternative. This was the second last time Amitabh had a heroine opposite him(the last being "Suryavansham"). Though he looked old, but curvaceous and wholesome Ramya Krishnan was not a wrong choice to be casted opposite him.Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik provided full entertainment in supporting roles. Songs were typical Govinda style with "Kisi Disco Mein Jaayein" and "Makhna" being the top chart-busters of that time. Bollywood was so much of fun in those days. If one makes these kind of movies today, it won't run for even a week, but it certainly entertained people in those days.One of the things to be noted was Govinda towering over Amitabh. It was evident that Govinda was in charge here and not the Bachchan.

(Amitabh Bachchan) is an icon, a movie legend, and as one of my favorites whatever he made I would watch it. But I found myself hoping that this rule may get its exceptions, since not ALL of his works, especially lately, is worth watching ! After some retirement from cinema, his fans at the time became more than longing to watch him in one of his great flicks again. But the result was devastating !, it was flop after another, and such an embarrassment for the Big B and all of his audience.At the start of 2000, I rented it after watching (Mrityudaata), for a lot of reasons one of them is to forget all about (Mrityudaata) ! I found it on 2 VHS tapes, (Amitabh) was on the poster as a policeman, it had a commercial Arabic title stands for (The Foxes), so I promised myself "what an evening I'd have", and what a fool I was ! They want the assured formula, so let's remake the American hit (Bad Boys) after 3 years of its release. They took nearly every inch of it yet ridiculously. Maybe the only difference that (Will Smith) in the original ran in the street without his shirt on, but in here (Bachchan) ran in the street with his shirt on !, after that particular scene you'd watch another movie that you've watched before hundreds of times. So (Bade Miyan Chote Miyan) gives you the chance to watch nearly 2 previous movies for a second time ! Moreover I couldn't stand the matter of 750 numbers, the non-comic comedy, and the dead rhythm for an action. But who said that this one is an Action? It's a huge brainless musical comedy with a thin plot of police and criminals. However the whole thing was too damn heavy and totally uninteresting.Except for seeing (Ramya Krishna) dancing to seduce (Bachchan), It was unbearably super boring, a very shocking come back for (Bachchan), and far from being Great Entertainer, or even an Entertainer ! Going to sleep is of course better, though if you watch it.. I bet you, you'll sleep in front of it simply but with powerful provocation.P.S: At the finale number while his singing (Amitabh)'s head separates from his body then comes back again??.. How BRUTAL!

The first 2 hours are okay, but then it just turns to garbage, but fun garbage nonetheless. The songs in this movie are great. I understand that the first two hours of the movie was supposed to be a take on the movie Bad Boys, but after the bad boys story line is over the movie just goes into a downward spiral. I give it a 5 out of 10.

Full of fun - perfect comedy - great relief from the crappy 'love' movies - Amitabh & Govinda are great!!!
