Ajay Devgn’s comedy ‘Dhamaal 4’ kept its momentum on the fifth day, bringing the film within striking distance of the coveted ₹100 crore domestic box‑office threshold. Discounted Tuesday tickets boosted footfall, resulting in a net collection of ₹9.50 crore, which lifted the cumulative India gross to ₹99.44 crore and net to ₹83.25 crore.

Box‑Office Trajectory

The film opened with a modest ₹14 crore on Friday, playing across 10,669 shows with an occupancy of 24%. Saturday saw a rise to ₹22.5 crore from 10,954 shows, and the Sunday weekend peak reached ₹28.5 crore with 44% occupancy across 11,481 shows. Monday’s earnings dipped to ₹8.75 crore (19% occupancy), but Tuesday rebounded with a ₹9.50 crore haul (20% occupancy), confirming the effectiveness of price‑sensitive showtimes.

Overseas Performance

Outside India, the film added ₹1.50 crore on Tuesday, pushing its overseas gross to ₹16 crore. The cumulative worldwide gross now stands at an impressive ₹115.44 crore, underscoring the franchise’s growing appeal beyond domestic borders.

Critical Reception

India Today rated the film 1.5 stars, noting that while the premise mirrors classic ‘Dhamaal’ antics—a pirate hunting a lost treasure—its execution feels forced, as if audiences are being asked to laugh at jokes that have already worn thin. Directed by Indra Kumar and released on July 10, the ensemble features Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, Sanjay Mishra, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar, and Ravi Kishan.

Future Outlook

Crossing the ₹100 crore mark would not only cement Devgn’s box‑office clout but also set a new benchmark for high‑budget Indian comedies. The confirmation of ‘Dhamaal 5’ in the pipeline suggests that the studio is banking on this momentum, potentially attracting further investment in the genre.
