Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (literally translating to "Big Brother, Small Brother" in English) is a 1998 Bollywood film starring Amitabh Bachchan in a double role, Govinda in a double role, Anupam Kher, Ramya Krishnan, and Raveena Tandon. Directed by David Dhawan, it was released in the Diwali of 1998 along with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. This movie was the first hit of Amitabh Bachchan at the box office since his comeback after a few years of hiatus from Bollywood. It's a remake of the Hollywood film Bad Boys[2] and is inspired by William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors.[3] This movie was the second highest grosser of the year after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The bumper collections at the Box Office and the thunderous opening ensured that the movie was the second biggest hit of the year.

[edit] Plot
Two friends, Arjun Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) and Pyare Mohan (Govinda), are in the police force. Arjun's sister Seema (Raveena Tandon) is in love with Pyare. Arjun has no female companion and some petty comments are made about his age.
The villain Jorawar (Paresh Rawal) kills a cop who tries to pry into his private affairs—smuggling arms and diamonds. Rawal appears terrified of the police, but the mood seems to come and go: When it comes to snuffing one out, he has no problem doing it. Along with the cop, he gets rid of an eyewitness, played by Divya Dutta (in a cameo role).
But there's another: Neha (Ramya Krishnan), friend of the first eyewitness. She conufuses Arjun for Pyare, but it's cleared up in a few song sequences.
The trouble begins when the villains begin hunting for Neha, as she's cavorting around with Arjun. Just when the heroes are all ready to go up a notch over the villains, in pop two petty thieves whom even their mothers would confuse for Arjun and Pyare. They call themselves Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan.
Arjun and Pyare are blamed for every crime the crooks commit and things aren't helped when Anupam Kher, the police commissioner, is thrashed by the doubles.[1]
