Fans walking into theatres for Dhamaal 4 today were greeted with an unexpected and emotional surprise right at the start. The film, which marks the fourth installment of the long-running comedy franchise, opens with a specially designed animated sequence that features a digital resurrection of the late veteran actor Satish Kaushik. Reprising his iconic role as Bata Bhai from Double Dhamaal (2011), the late actor's appearance was made possible through a blend of high-end CGI and Artificial Intelligence. Satish Kaushik, whose sudden passing in 2023 left a void in the Indian film industry, was a key highlight of the second film with his hilarious underworld antics. By using AI to recreate his likeness and voice, director Indra Kumar has ensured that the actor's legacy remains part of the Dhamaal universe. In a touching gesture, the makers have specifically thanked Satish Kaushik's wife, Shashi Kaushik, in the opening credits for her support in making this digital tribute possible. This sequence serves as a bridge between the new story and the franchise's history, immediately setting a nostalgic tone for the audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The surprises don't stop with Bata Bhai. The same animated sequence also features an appearance by Jackie Shroff, marking his second unique contribution to the series. In the previous installment, Total Dhamaal (2019), Jackie Shroff had lent his distinct voice to a tapori-style GPS system that guided the characters—a gimmick that became a fan favorite. This time, his AI-generated appearance adds another layer of madness to the opening, signaling that the film intends to lean heavily into the slapstick, pure-comedy roots that made the 2007 original a cult classic. Produced on a reported budget of ₹200 crore, Dhamaal 4 is a high-stakes adventure that moves away from the multi-story structure of Total Dhamaal, functioning instead as a direct continuation. The film follows a massive treasure hunt involving sea pirates and supernatural elements, where the gang tracks down a hidden ₹50 crore treasure. The scale of the production is evident in the technical work, especially the use of CGI to bring back beloved characters, which allows the film to balance modern technology with old-school humor. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The core of the film remains the dynamic between the veteran cast. Ajay Devgn leads as the sharp-witted Guddu Rastogi, alongside the franchise's original trio: Arshad Warsi as Aditya Srivastav, Jaaved Jaaferi as the lovable but dim-witted Manav, and Riteish Deshmukh as the eccentric Deshbandhu Roy. Joining them in this chaotic race is Sanjay Mishra as Johnny D'Costa and Ravi Kishan, who plays the primary antagonist, a pirate captain named Michael. The film also introduces Sanjeeda Shaikh, Esha Gupta, and Anjali Anand, the latter of whom is already receiving praise for her performance as Paaro. By honoring Satish Kaushik right at the beginning, Indra Kumar has successfully tapped into the emotional connection fans have with this franchise, making Dhamaal 4 more than just a typical comedy sequel.

As of 8 PM on Thursday, the film has recorded 5 crore+ gross in advance bookings (with block seats) for Day 1, with final pre-sales expected to close at around 6 crore+ gross. These numbers are almost identical to the booking of Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle before its release. Despite similar advance sales, the box office trajectory of the two films is slightly different. Welcome To The Jungle went on to open at 15 crore+ net (19 crore net with previews), largely because its paid previews generated positive word of mouth before the official opening day, resulting in a surge in spot bookings from morning shows themselves. Dhamaal 4 does not have the benefit of paid previews, making its opening more dependent on Friday's audience response. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Nevertheless, the film still has the potential to exceed expectations. Comedy entertainers traditionally rely heavily on spot bookings and walk-in audiences, especially in mass circuits and smaller centres. If the initial audience reactions are positive, Dhamaal 4 could witness a strong jump in evening and night shows, giving it a realistic chance of touching the 15 crore net mark on its opening day. Positive word of mouth will be the key factor in determining whether the film can outperform its current projections.

The Dhamaal franchise has been a staple of Hindi comedy for years, known for its slapstick humor and an ensemble cast that usually brings chaos to the screen. As Indra Kumar prepares to release the fourth installment, Dhamaal 4, tomorrow on July 10, there is already significant news regarding the future of the series. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers are so confident in the latest film that they have ended it with a direct hint of a sequel. A source mentioned that a specific sequence at the end of the movie indicates that Dhamaal 5 is already in the offing, promising another madcap entertainer for the fans. Directed by Indra Kumar, Dhamaal 4 sees the return of the franchise core members including Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi. To keep the dynamic fresh, new faces like Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, and Ravi Kishan have been added to the mix. The film is produced by a large team including Ajay Devgn and Bhushan Kumar, and the industry is keeping a close eye on how this ensemble will perform at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the advance booking numbers, the film is showing a decent buildup for its opening day. So far, the all-India advance booking gross stands at 1.13 crore, excluding block seats. If we include block seats, that figure jumps to approximately 3.33 crore. A total of 44,659 tickets have been sold across 7,626 shows for the first day. Most of the sales are coming from the standard 2D format, which has contributed nearly the entire gross amount, while premium formats like 4DX are just beginning to see some movement. As we reach midday on July 9, the performance in national cinema chains is showing steady growth leading into tomorrow's release. Based on the latest tracking, PVR has sold approximately 7,100 tickets for a gross of 29.30 lakh. INOX follows with about 3,550 tickets and a gross of 10.95 lakh, while Cinepolis has added roughly 1,030 tickets for a gross of 3.35 lakh. In total, these major national chains have already accounted for approximately over 11,000 tickets and a combined gross of around 43 lakh as the film enters its final countdown before hitting theaters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The momentum on digital platforms like BookMyShow also indicates a rising interest as the release date nears. On July 7, the platform saw 6,170 tickets booked, which significantly increased to 21,260 tickets on July 8. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to approximately 27,430 so far. More recent tracking shows that between 11 am and 12 pm today, another 2,100 tickets were sold, bringing the total since 9 am this morning to 5,220 tickets. This hourly acceleration is a good sign for the film's spot bookings tomorrow. Regionally, the National Capital Region and Mumbai are the primary drivers for the advance bookings. NCR has recorded a gross of 21.48 lakh across 948 shows, a figure that goes up to 66.68 lakh if we include block seats. Mumbai follows with 19.47 lakh from 744 shows, reaching 41.32 lakh with block seats. While real occupancy in these major hubs currently stands at 2 percent, both cities have already seen one almost full show and several filling fast statuses. Hyderabad is performing slightly better in terms of engagement with a 5 percent occupancy across 230 shows, earning 6.18 lakh. Interestingly, Chennai reports the highest occupancy at 14 percent despite having a smaller window of 59 shows, contributing 2.37 lakh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In other markets, Ahmedabad has grossed 4.26 lakh across 438 shows, while Jaipur and Bengaluru have collected 3.85 lakh and 3.33 lakh respectively. Other cities like Pune, Kolkata, and Surat are currently seeing more modest movement, with gross totals ranging from 1.50 lakh to 2.90 lakh. Although overall occupancy levels are mostly around 1 percent right now, the presence of filling fast shows across multiple regions indicates that demand is starting to pick up. With the news of a fifth installment already being teased, the makers of Dhamaal 4 seem to be leveraging the strong franchise recall across these major urban centers.
