Ajay Devgn’s Dhamaal 4 Crosses Rs 100 Crore As Audience Love Beats Mixed Reviews
Ajay Devgn’s Dhamaal 4 has entered the Rs 100 crore club in India , continuing its impressive theatrical run despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. The Indra Kumar directorial achieved the milestone on its second Friday, with the film showing a strong hold at the box office and benefiting from positive audience word of mouth.
The comedy entertainer collected around Rs 5.95 crore nett on its second Friday , registering only a minor drop from the previous day. The stable performance has strengthened expectations that the film could enjoy a successful second weekend.
Released on July 10, Dhamaal 4 opened with a solid Rs 13.75 crore nett in India on Day 1 , while its worldwide opening day gross crossed Rs 20 crore. The film witnessed strong growth over the weekend, with family audiences and franchise fans driving footfalls.
The film’s biggest strength has been the nostalgia factor attached to the Dhamaal franchise. The return of popular comic faces including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh and Jaaved Jaaferi helped attract audiences looking for a lighthearted entertainer.
Directed by Indra Kumar , Dhamaal 4 brings back the franchise’s signature madness, featuring a large ensemble cast including Sanjay Mishra, Ravi Kishan, Anjali Anand and Sanjeeda Sheikh. While some viewers criticised certain jokes in the film, especially around Anjali Anand’s character, Indra Kumar addressed the controversy and said the humour was part of the story’s context.
Unlike many recent Bollywood releases that faced immediate competition, Dhamaal 4 initially enjoyed a relatively open theatrical window, allowing it to build momentum. However, the arrival of major releases has started affecting its collections in later days.
The success of Dhamaal 4 highlights the continued demand for family comedy entertainers , with audience response once again proving that strong franchise recall and mass appeal can help films overcome divided critical reactions.
