The laughter riot continues at the box office as Dhamaal 4, starring Ajay Devgn, has officially crossed the prestigious ₹100 crore net mark in India. The fourth installment of the popular comedy franchise achieved this milestone on its eighth day of release, showing remarkable resilience at the ticket windows.
According to early estimates from industry trackers, Dhamaal 4 collected approximately ₹5.35 crore net on its second Friday (Day 8). This brings the film's total domestic net collection to an impressive ₹101.35 crore. The film managed this feat despite the much-anticipated release of Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' on the same day, which dominated premium formats and multiplexes in urban centers.
Trade analysts report that the film's total India gross collection now stands at ₹120.85 crore. The worldwide gross has also seen a significant boost, crossing ₹139.60 crore, as the overseas markets continue to contribute steadily. This performance has cemented the film's status as a 'Clean Hit' and a worthy successor to the beloved franchise.
Weekday Momentum and Franchise Success
After a phenomenal opening weekend, where the film collected ₹65 crore, Dhamaal 4 demonstrated stability during the weekdays. The film's first-week total stood at a robust ₹96 crore net in India. The hold on the second Friday, with a nominal drop from the previous day's ₹6 crore collection, is a strong indicator of positive audience word-of-mouth, particularly among family audiences.
This box office feat also places Dhamaal 4 as the highest-grossing film in the franchise's history. It has also become Ajay Devgn's 16th film to cross the ₹100 crore net mark in India, and the 6th fastest to do so, matching the pace of his other blockbusters.
Cast and Crew Spotlight
Directed by Indra Kumar, the film brings back the beloved comic duo of Arshad Warsi and Riteish Deshmukh, along with Jaaved Jaaferi, Sanjay Mishra, and Ravi Kishan. The film's ensemble also features Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, and Vijay Patkar in pivotal roles.
The production is a massive collaborative effort, backed by a powerhouse team of producers including Ajay Devgn, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Indra Kumar, Anand Pandit, and Kumar Mangat Pathak. The story and screenplay have been penned by Paritosh Painter, Balvinder Singh Suri, and Vedd Prakash, with dialogues by Bunty Rathore. The technical team is equally impressive, with cinematography by Sudhir K. Chaudhary and editing by Sanjay Sankla.
With the weekend ahead and the word-of-mouth continuing to be strong, Dhamaal 4 is projected to collect an additional ₹16-20 crore over its second weekend, pushing its total well beyond the ₹115 crore mark. The film's ability to hold its ground against a Hollywood giant like 'The Odyssey' speaks volumes about the enduring appeal of the Dhamaal brand and its ensemble cast.
