Dhamaal 4 Release Date Moves Up As Bollywood Makes Way For Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey For Solo Release

Mumbai, June 9 - Bollywood star Ajay Devgn's much-awaited comedy entertainer Dhamaal 4 is reportedly set for another release date change as Bollywood reshuffles its release calendar ahead of Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated epic The Odyssey. The move is aimed at avoiding a direct clash and ensuring that both films get sufficient breathing space at the box office.

While an official announcement is still awaited, the development has already become a major talking point among trade circles. Dhamaal 4, directed by Indra Kumar and starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Sanjay Mishra, is now expected to release on July 10, 2026. The comedy sequel was previously scheduled to arrive on July 17, but the makers have reportedly decided to move it a week earlier to create room for The Odyssey, which is slated for a worldwide release on July 17.

Christopher Nolan remains one of the most bankable filmmakers in India, with films such as Oppenheimer, Interstellar, and Dunkirk enjoying tremendous success among audiences. Given the enormous demand expected for The Odyssey, particularly across IMAX and premium-format screens, exhibitors are likely to prioritise it over other films. The advance booking for the same has already begun in IMAX, and as expected, the initial response is super solid.

The revised strategy allows Dhamaal 4 to capitalise on its own theatrical window before the Hollywood spectacle takes over multiplexes. The decision reflects a growing trend within the industry, where producers are increasingly willing to adjust release plans to avoid major box-office clashes. If the new date is officially confirmed, Dhamaal 4 will benefit from a cleaner opening week, while The Odyssey will enjoy a solo release frame, setting the stage for two of the most anticipated films of the month to maximise their theatrical potential.
