The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has apprehended a Liberian national who arrived from Sierra Leone at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai on Friday.
In the latest buzz from the tinsel town, the dynamic duo of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff have stormed into the box office with their action-packed flick, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’. The much-awaited movie, reportedly crafted with a hefty budget of over Rs 300 crore, has finally hit the screens, setting the cash registers ringing on its opening day.
Despite its colossal budget, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ raked in a respectable Rs 15.5 crore on its debut across various languages in India, marking it as the second-biggest opener of the year, following Hrithik Roshan’s adrenaline-pumping ‘Fighter’. While it didn’t shatter records like ‘Fighter’, it still managed to surpass the opening day collections of other notable flicks like ‘Shaitaan’ and ‘Crew’, starring the likes of Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Tabu.
