elshikh4 (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!

Shashi Krishna One of the best "Amitabh comeback" movies I liked. This was the phase when Govinda was going strong with Dhawan. The songs were awesome and totally as we call it "masti" type. An evergreen entertainer with the likes of the multifaceted Anupam Kher chipping in. The story line has a lot of hilarious twists and turns as is known for David Dhawan's potboilers. With a timely appearance by Mrs.Madhuri "Nene" Dixit, it was a total riot towards the end. It was great to see Amit perform with such force and humor after a long exile. Although some may consider it a typical "Bollywood Masala" movie, I would watch it any day. I am giving it an easy 8 out of 10 just for being pure Bollywood.

hammer_pants 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.

Rahul This is a David Dhavan slapstick comedy starring Govinda as usual but also Amitabh in his third come back film after Mrityudaata and Major Saab. Although the other two have not been so succesful, I think this one will be. Govinda and Amitabh star as two police inspectors under the auspices of their senior, Anupam Kher. The beginning part is very reminiscent of the Will Smith film Bad Boys. Basically, the two heroes are sent to investigate a series of murders which have involved the bad guy Paresh Rawal. For a string of reasons, one of the main witnesses (Ramiya) will only speak to Pyare Mohan (Govinda) but at the time only Inspector Arjun (Amitabh) is available, so Amitabh has to assume the identity of Govinda's character and take the lady to Pyare's flat where he has to pretend to be Pyare. Obviously as a result, the real Pyare has to go to live in Arjun's house, where Arjun's mother and younger sister live. To spice matters up Govinda is in love with Arjun's sister (played by Raveena Tandon) and Amitabh is not at all pleased by this.All seems to be going well until just before the interval when Bade Miya (Amitabh again in a dual role) and Chote Miya (Govinda in a dual role) arrive. These two are petty theives from the village. Inevitably, confusion ensues as the two sets of characters are mistaken. Our inspector heroes are suspended for a string of misdemeanours which they have not been a party to and they cannot understand why! All of this leads up to a climactic ending.This film is very funny. It won't change your life or make you think but it will definitely keep you entertained for its duration. Amitabh is on top form. His comedy is up to Don or Laawaris standard and his dancing is great. He may not have the muscles of Sunny or Shahrukh but he is convincing in his action scenes. Govinda, however, is fantastic. He is now a master of this type of role after the likes of Raja Babu and Coolie no 1. Our female leads do not have much to do, but there is a very welcome guest appearance from Madhuri, including the song "Makhna". This is a treat for film fans as it is the first combined screen appearance of Amitabh and Madhuri.In short, I highly recommend this film but only to those who watch films to be entertained rather than educated or to have their lives changed!
