The Ajay Devgn-led comedy caper, Dhamaal 4, is proving to be a resilient entertainer at the box office. After a blockbuster opening weekend, the film has successfully navigated its first major weekday test, holding steady and even registering a slight growth on its fifth day. According to early trade estimates, the film has collected a solid Rs 9.50 crore net on its first Tuesday, taking its total domestic net collection to an impressive Rs 83.25 crore.
The film's day-wise journey has been a textbook example of a successful franchise film's box office run. After kicking off its theatrical run with Rs 14 crore on its opening Friday, the film saw a massive surge over the weekend. Collections jumped to Rs 22.50 crore on Saturday and peaked at Rs 28.50 crore on Sunday, resulting in a powerful opening weekend total of Rs 65 crore. As expected, the first Monday witnessed the usual weekday dip, bringing in Rs 8.75 crore. However, the Tuesday collections showed an encouraging recovery of approximately 8.6%, signaling strong word-of-mouth and continued audience interest.
At the global box office, the film's performance is even more commendable. The ensemble comedy added Rs 1.50 crore from overseas markets on Day 5, pushing its total overseas gross to Rs 16 crore. This has catapulted the film's worldwide gross collection to a massive Rs 115.44 crore, firmly establishing it as a global success. The film is now inching closer to the Rs 100 crore net mark in India, a milestone it is expected to cross within the coming days.
Directed by Indra Kumar, who has been at the helm of the entire franchise, Dhamaal 4 brings back the beloved chaotic energy of its predecessors. The film boasts a fantastic ensemble cast with the core team of Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Jaaved Jaaferi returning to reprise their iconic roles. They are joined by a talented supporting cast including Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Upendra Limaye, Anjali Anand, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Esha Gupta.
The film's performance is particularly noteworthy as it has surpassed the opening weekend records of other recent major comedy releases like Welcome To The Jungle and even outperformed Ajay Devgn's own previous hit, De De Pyaar De 2. While it has opened to mixed reviews, the commercial success of Dhamaal 4 underscores the enduring appeal of the franchise and its strong connect with family audiences looking for a clean, loud, and chaotic entertainer.
With no major Hindi releases to challenge it in the coming week, Dhamaal 4 is poised for a strong second weekend, although it will face competition from Hollywood heavyweight Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey on July 17. For now, the Dhamaal gang continues to reign supreme at the Indian box office.
