This Eid, all eyes will be on the clash of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan. Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn have clashed at the box office on many occasions. Both the films are from two totally different genres. Maidaan is a sports drama around the life and times of football coach Syed Abdul Rahim. He took India to a couple of victories in the Asian Games in 1951 and 1962. On the other hand, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is a high-octane entertainer that is shot in exotic locations with lavish production values. Also, Maidaan has a run-time of over three hours like the 2023 blockbuster Animal. Will the run-time impact Maidaan? Here are a few reasons why it is a force at the box office?

Maidaan: A genuine sports film
The last sports drama from Bollywood that left a huge impact was Chak De! India. In between, we have had movies like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Soorma, Gold, Shabaash Mithu and Saina, which did not attract audiences like the Shah Rukh Khan starrer. Even Ranveer Singh's 83 was a damp squib.
Ajay Devgn's box office track record
Ajay Devgn is one of the few stars whose box office performance after the pandemic has been superb. His Drishyam 2 made over Rs 250 crores while Shaitaan has minted Rs 150 crores plus. As an actor, he never fails to deliver. Even Bholaa did decent business.

Ajay Devgn teaming with South Indian actresses
Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran is a jodi, which is liked by his fans. His pairing with Jyothika in Shaitaan was also appreciated. This time, he is coming on screen with Priyamani. She is loved for her work on the show, The Family Man. We have to see what kind of magic they bring on screen.
Vibe and feel of Maidaan
People are loving the aesthetics of the trailer. It looks authentic to the period it is set in. The stadium scenes look impressive. They are the mainstay of any sports drama film.
Run-time of films immaterial for Bollywood fans
From the times of Sholay to Animal, Bollywood fans have proved that run-time of movies is immaterial. Even lengthy South films like RRR have been appreciated.
