The madness is already in full swing. After Dhamaal 4 opened to a respectable Day 1 collection of around ₹13.75 crore net in India (with India gross touching ₹16.5 crore and worldwide gross around ₹21.5 crore), the film is eyeing a strong hold on Saturday.
Early signs from theatres suggest the classic Dhamaal humour is working its charm on family audiences, especially in the evening and night shows where occupancy picked up nicely. Trade circles are talking about a Day 2 net in the ₹16-20 crore range.
That would be a healthy jump, driven by word-of-mouth and the franchise’s loyal fanbase turning up for a clean, no-nonsense comedy. The cast — Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffrey — still carries that effortless chemistry that pulls in both multiplex and single-screen crowds.
What’s working in its favour is the steady footfall in key markets like Maharashtra, Gujarat and the North. Spot bookings have been decent, and if the positive reactions continue through the weekend, we could see the film build decent momentum.
Overseas, especially in Australia and New Zealand, it’s also showing some early promise. For a non-holiday Friday opener, this is a decent start. The real test will be how it holds through the rest of the weekend and into next week.
Right now, the mood in trade circles is cautiously optimistic — the kind of vibe that says “not a blockbuster yet, but definitely not a disaster either.” Keep an eye on the numbers as Saturday unfolds. The Dhamaal gang might just surprise us with a better-than-expected run if the laughter keeps spreading.
