Overview
- The fourth Dhamaal film, directed by Indra Kumar and starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi, opened in theatres on Friday, July 10, with trade tracker Sacnilk reporting an India net Day‑1 of about ₹13.75 crore.
- Sacnilk and multiple trade reports show a substantial second‑day jump to around ₹22.50 crore net, taking the film’s two‑day India net to roughly ₹36.5 crore and pushing worldwide gross past the ₹50 crore mark.
- Critical and audience reaction is mixed with praise for cast performances and nostalgia for franchise characters and criticism aimed at weak writing and heavy CGI use.
- A post‑credits scene confirms Dhamaal 5 is planned and names Farhad Samji to lead the next instalment.
- Box‑office prospects hinge on sustained weekend and weekday hold because pre‑release advance sales were modest and reported production costs range high in industry coverage, creating a steep breakeven target in a crowded release window.
