''Bade Miyan Chote Miyan'' was theatrically released on 11 April 2024, coinciding with [[Eid al-Fitr]], and received generally negative reviews from critics. It emerged as a [[box-office bomb]].

== Plot ==
A masked perpetrator attacks an Indian [[convoy]], containing a weapon, and tells the [[Indian Army]] that they will have to race-against-time to prevent the destruction of India. Captain Misha faces off against a masked attacker in [[Shanghai]], where she impales him, but the attacker's wounds inexplicably heal instantly and he escapes. Misha reports the incident to [[Colonel|Col.]] Azad, who instructs her to enlist [[Court-martial|court-martialed]] soldiers Firoz "Freddy" and Rakesh "Rocky" for the mission. Only Rocky agrees to help.

Misha and Rocky arrive in London and meet Parminder ''Pam'', an [[Information technology|IT]] specialist assigned to assist them. In London, Azad gets shot by the masked perpetrator. The team infiltrates the [[London Underground|London tube]] to retrieve the stolen package. Freddy arrives to help them fight the masked men. Pam unlocks the vault, revealing that the package is actually Captain Priya Dixit, Freddy's ex-girlfriend. Since the hard drives were at risk of being hacked, the codes to ''Karan Kavach'', a highly advanced defence system, were encrypted inside Priya's brain. The masked perpetrator and his army take Priya hostage and the perpetrator reveals himself as Kabir, a scientist and Freddy and Rocky's former friend.  

In the past, Kabir intends to help the Indian Army with his latest invention: a [[cloning]] program where clones based on Freddy and Rocky's [[DNA]] could be programmed with orders and win wars without being killed. When Kabir reveals his intentions to conquer the world using this invention, Azad orders him to shut it down since it would be unethical. Kabir switches sides and sells the invention to India's enemies. Priya reveals this information to Azad, where Freddy and Rocky are given orders to capture Kabir alive, but they end up killing Kabir and are court-martialed for not following orders, after which Freddy breaks up with Priya without giving her any reason. 

In the present, Kabir reveals that he survived because the person who died at the hands of Rocky and Freddy, was actually his clone Eklavya. Eklavya's death left him vengeful as he loved the clone like a son. The masked men were actually Freddy and Rocky's clones. Kabir reveals that he has also cloned Azad and killed the real one.

Kabir kidnaps Priya and leaves Freddy and Rocky to die, but they kill Kabir's henchmen and reveal to the team that Kabir plans to turn [[Pakistan]] and [[China]] against India by deactivating the ''Karan Kavach'' and launching [[airstrike]]s against the two countries, which would cause India's reputation to be globally tarnished. 

Freddy, Rocky, Misha and Pam infiltrate Kabir's base, where Kabir decrypts the password from Priya's brain. Freddy and Rocky eventually face off against their own clones, who keep rejuvenating due to an internal power source. The duo kills the clones by luring them into a [[Electrical grid|power grid]], causing them to explode. Kabir launches the airstrikes before Freddy and Rocky kill him. Priya reveals that ''Eklavya'' is the password. The ''Karan Kavach'' is reactivated, averting the airstrike and a potential war.

In a post-credits scene, the team leaves the base, while Kabir survives, hinting at a [[sequel]].
