Dhamaal 4 posted a worldwide collection of ₹92 crore by its third day, while the Indian domestic net climbed to ₹65 crore. The film earned ₹28.5 crore from 11,481 shows on Sunday – a 25% jump from Saturday’s ₹22.5 crore and a 60% rise over its opening‑day ₹14 crore.

Franchise Evolution and Record‑Breaking Opening

The ‘Dhamaal’ series began in 2007, with the first installment earning modest numbers. The second film, Double Dhamaal, managed only ₹22.78 crore, while Total Dhamaal (2017) raised the bar to ₹62.40 crore. ‘Dhamaal 4’ now tops the franchise’s opening weekend, establishing a new benchmark for Indra Kumar’s comedy brand.

Position in 2026 Box‑Office Landscape

With a net opening weekend of ₹65 crore, ‘Dhamaal 4’ sits behind only Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge (₹1,108.90 crore) and Border 2 (₹341.70 crore) among Hindi releases. It is the third‑highest‑grossing comedy of the year after Bhooth Bangla and Welcome to the Jungle, both headlined by Akshay Kumar.

Upcoming Competition and Market Dynamics

The film has benefited from a quiet release window – no new Hindi movies have premiered this week, allowing it to dominate screens. However, the arrival of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster The Odyssey on July 16 will test its staying power, as audiences may shift towards the high‑budget Hollywood spectacle.

Ajay Devgn’s Sequel Strategy

Ajay Devgn continues to bank on sequels, with ‘Dhamaal 4’ out‑performing his recent follow‑ups like ‘De De Pyaar De 2’ and ‘Son of Sardaar 2’. The upcoming Drishyam 3 (Oct 2) and Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 5 promise to keep his box‑office momentum alive.

In short, ‘Dhamaal 4’ proves that a well‑timed adventure comedy, backed by a familiar franchise and star power, can still generate blockbuster numbers in an era increasingly dominated by high‑concept action dramas.
