Overview
- Dhamaal 4, which opened theatrically on July 10, 2026, brings back the franchise’s core cast led by Ajay Devgn in a broad treasure‑hunt comedy directed by Indra Kumar.
- Advance bookings closed at about 96.7K tickets and roughly Rs 2.57 crore gross for opening‑day pre-sales, while morning shows reported approximately Rs 1.96 crore by 11am; trade trackers still project a double‑digit opening and will reassess across the weekend.
- Early reviews and audience posts are split: many praise Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi and Sanjay Mishra for comic timing, while others call portions uneven or 'cringe' and fault parts of the film's humour.
- Critics and viewers singled out technical choices for criticism after reports that makers used CGI/AI to recreate the late Satish Kaushik’s Bata Bhai in an opening sequence and thanked his wife in the credits, and the film features a recreated 'Bella Ciao' variant titled 'Paisa Lao'.
- The CBFC granted a U/A (13+) certificate after minor cuts and listed the runtime at 143 minutes, the film ends with a tease for Dhamaal 5, and industry watchers say weekend footfall will determine whether this instalment outperforms earlier franchise openers.
