Mumbai, July 20 - Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 continues to enjoy a superb run at the Indian box office, delivering a solid second weekend despite competition from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The comedy entertainer has held really well after a strong opening week, with family audiences continuing to drive collections across the country. The film's impressive hold has cemented its position as one of the biggest Hindi hits of the year. The Indra Kumar directorial collected an impressive 28.50 crore net in its second weekend, taking its 10-day India net collection to approximately 124.50 crore. The outstanding weekend performance underscores the film's strong word-of-mouth, as it recorded healthy growth on both Saturday and Sunday after a steady second Friday. With this, Dhamaal 4 has comfortably crossed the 100 crore milestone and remains one of the strongest performers in theatres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has also continued its decent run overseas, taking its worldwide gross collection to around 170 crore in just ten days. The comedy franchise has once again struck a chord with audiences, translating its popularity into impressive global box office numbers. The film has already emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi comedy films of the year. From now on, Dhamaal 4 is well on track to achieve another major milestone. If it maintains a steady hold during the weekdays, the Ajay Devgn-starrer is expected to cross the 200 crore worldwide gross mark by the next weekend. With no immediate threat to its target audience, the film is poised to continue its successful run at the box office.

Mumbai, July 16 - The first week of December 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest box office battlegrounds in recent memory. Three major Hindi and pan-India releases are set to arrive within two days of each other, setting the stage for an intense clash before Hollywood giants Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three, and Shah Rukh Khan's King dominate cinemas later in the month. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Prabhas' much-awaited period action drama Fauzi has officially locked December 3, 2026, as its theatrical release date. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the film has generated significant buzz ever since its announcement and is expected to be one of the biggest pan-India releases of the year. With Prabhas returning in a larger-than-life role, the film is expected to command a massive release across multiple languages. Just a day later, on December 4, Ajay Devgn's much-awaited Ranger is scheduled to hit theatres. Sharing the same release date is Akshay Kumar's untitled collaboration with director Anees Bazmee, setting up a direct three-way contest among some of Indian cinema's biggest stars. While all three films cater to different audiences, they will inevitably compete for premium screens, show timings, and opening weekend collections. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The timing makes the clash even more significant. The three Indian releases will have barely two weeks to maximise their theatrical business before Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three, along with King, arrive later in December, films that are expected to occupy a substantial share of IMAX and premium large-format screens worldwide. As a result, the opening weekend and first fortnight will be crucial for Fauzi, Ranger, and Akshay Kumar's upcoming entertainer. With Prabhas, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar all eyeing the lucrative year-end holiday season, the first week of December 2026 is set to become one of the most closely watched box office clashes in recent years. Whether all three films stick to their announced dates or one eventually opts to avoid the crowded window remains to be seen, but as of now, audiences are in for a blockbuster showdown.

Dhamaal 4 arrives as the latest installment in a comedy franchise that has historically relied on loud, slapstick humor to draw crowds. The film reunites the familiar ensemble of Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Javed Jaffrey, aiming to capitalize on the nostalgia of the earlier hits. However, the pre-release momentum was notably lukewarm; when the trailer first dropped, it failed to ignite the kind of massive social media conversation or high-octane buzz usually expected from a big-budget sequel. Instead of a wave of excitement, the initial reaction was quite measured, leaving the film to rely heavily on its theatrical performance to prove its worth. Now, six days into its run, the film is performing well at the box office, managing to find its footing and draw in consistent numbers. By the end of its sixth day, Dhamaal 4 has reached a worldwide gross of ₹124.66 Cr, a figure that highlights its steady performance across markets. This total is built on a solid domestic foundation, with India gross collections standing at ₹107.41 Cr. In the international circuit, the film has brought in a total gross of ₹17.25 Cr. When focusing on the core domestic earnings, the movie has officially secured a net collection of ₹90 Cr in India so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking specifically at the Day 6 performance, which fell on a Wednesday, the film collected a net of ₹6.75 Cr. When we compare this to Tuesday's net collection of ₹9.50 Cr, we see a drop of 28.9 percent. This decline is quite standard for a comedy film during the middle of its first week, as the initial weekend rush settles into a steady weekday pace. To achieve this Day 6 figure, the movie played across 11,137 shows, contributing to a massive cumulative total of 65,916 shows since its release. On the international front, early estimates suggest the film added another ₹1.25 Cr (approximately 149 thousand dollars) on its sixth day. According to Venky Box Office, the film earned 139 thousand dollars (roughly ₹1.16 Cr) on Tuesday alone. This brings its total North American gross to 714 thousand dollars (approximately ₹5.98 Cr). These numbers indicate a decent pull among the diaspora, even on working days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ticketing trends on BookMyShow further highlight the film's reach. On Tuesday, the platform recorded 133.65K tickets booked, while Wednesday saw 100.96K bookings. In total, the film has seen over 16,12,090 tickets sold through this platform alone. These figures reflect a healthy interest, though there is a visible downward trend as the week progresses. Looking at the performance across major national chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—we get a clearer picture of how the movie is trending through advance bookings. For its sixth day, these chains collectively sold around 5,300 tickets, resulting in a total gross of approximately ₹14.3 Lakhs. This was achieved across nearly 3,490 shows, reflecting a modest advance occupancy of about 0.9 percent. When we break these numbers down, INOX led the way with roughly 2,900 tickets sold, bringing in nearly ₹7.2 Lakhs from about 1,280 shows, which translates to a 1.0 percent occupancy rate. PVR followed with roughly 2,400 tickets, generating about ₹7.1 Lakhs from a slightly higher show count of around 1,540, resulting in an occupancy of approximately 0.8 percent. Interestingly, Cinepolis, which scheduled around 670 shows across nearly 80 venues, saw no activity in advance ticket sales for this period. These figures highlight that the film is currently relying more on spontaneous spot bookings and walk-in audiences rather than pre-planned ticket purchases, which is quite common for comedy sequels during the work week as they aim to maintain their screen count heading into the second weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When we break down the occupancy for Day 6, the overall average across India stood at 14.12 percent. The interest level grew steadily throughout the day, starting with a 6.92 percent occupancy in the morning shows. This jumped to 13.62 percent in the afternoon and 15.31 percent in the evening with the night shows peaking at 19.00 percent occupancy. Regional performance also tells an interesting story. The National Capital Region (NCR) led with 1,025 shows and an overall occupancy of 14.5 percent. Mumbai followed closely with 856 shows and 14.0 percent occupancy. Ahmedabad showed a strong preference for the film with 623 shows and a 15.5 percent occupancy rate, while Pune and Bengaluru saw 12.3 percent and 13.3 percent occupancy respectively. Surat recorded a lower engagement at 7.3 percent across its 381 shows.

Comedy sequels often carry a certain level of expectations at the box office, and Dhamaal 4 seems to be finding its rhythm as the first week progresses. With a legacy built on ensemble slapstick humor, the buzz around this fourth installment has been focused on whether it can recreate the madness of its predecessors. Let us dive into the numbers to see how the film is holding up after its first five days in theaters. Most films typically experience a downward trend on their first Tuesday, but Dhamaal 4 has managed to pull off a surprise. The film earned 9.50 Crore on Day 5, marking a growth of 8.6 percent compared to Monday's collection of 8.75 Crore. This slight uptick during a weekday is a positive indicator of audience interest. This performance was recorded across 11,077 shows on Tuesday, bringing the total India net collection to 83.25 Crore. In terms of gross figures, the domestic total has now reached 99.44 Crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The global footprint of the film is also expanding. Based on early estimates, Dhamaal 4 added 1.50 Crore from overseas markets on its fifth day, taking the total international gross to 16.00 Crore. When we combine the domestic and international numbers, the early estimates for the worldwide gross collection currently stand at 115.44 Crore. So far, the film has played across a cumulative total of 54,779 shows since its release. Providing some specific context for the North American market, data from Venky Box Office shows that the film collected 67,000 dollars (approximately 56 Lakhs) on Monday. This brings the total North American gross to 575,000 dollars (approximately 4.83 Crore). The film is now steadily nearing the 1 million dollar mark. If this milestone is achieved, it will mark Ajay Devgn's 17th film to cross 1 million dollars in North America, highlighting his consistent appeal in the international circuit alongside the film's domestic run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the digital footprint through BookMyShow, the film has crossed a significant milestone of 1.5 million tickets sold on the platform. The daily booking trend reflects the growth seen in the collections, as Tuesday saw 133,650 tickets booked, an increase from Monday's 124,050. However, in the context of the 2025-26 records for first Tuesday ticket sales, Dhamaal 4 narrowly missed a spot in the top ten. With 134K sales, it sits just behind Cocktail 2, while Dhurandhar 2 remains the leader of that list with 680K tickets. The overall occupancy for Day 5 was 20.78 percent. As is common with family entertainers, the night shows were the busiest with 29.31 percent occupancy. Morning shows started at a modest 9.31 percent, while the afternoon and evening slots saw a steady rise to 19.69 percent and 22.46 percent respectively. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Regionally, the National Capital Region was the most active hub, recording 24.5 percent occupancy across 1,050 shows. Mumbai followed with 21.8 percent occupancy from 839 shows. Other major regions like Ahmedabad and Bengaluru hovered around the 19 percent mark. Pune saw 16.0 percent occupancy, while Surat recorded a lower 14.3 percent. Looking at how the film performed in the major national chains, the figures show a steady level of support. PVR sold around 3.9K tickets resulting in a gross of 11.3 Lakhs. INOX followed with approximately 5.2K tickets and a gross of 11.8 Lakhs, while Cinepolis contributed 3.1 Lakhs from about 1.3K tickets. Together, these three chains accounted for 10.4K tickets and a total gross around 26 Lakhs for the day. This activity was spread across 3.57K shows, maintaining an average occupancy of 1.4 percent.

Dhamaal 4 marks the return of one of the most recognizable comedy brands in Indian cinema, bringing back the high-energy madness that the franchise is known for. Under the direction of Indra Kumar, the film relies on the established chemistry of its lead trio—Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Arshad Warsi—who have been the pillars of the series since its inception. This time around, the narrative is bolstered by the addition of talented actors like Ravi Kishan, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Esha Gupta, ensuring a mix of seasoned comedic timing and fresh screen presence. As a family-oriented entertainer, the movie aims to capture the same light-hearted spirit that made its predecessors box office favorites. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhamaal 4 continues its journey through the first week with a focus on stability. After crossing the 100 crore worldwide gross milestone on Monday, the film is now looking to maintain a consistent trajectory during the weekdays.

As of 7:15 PM, the film has already minted 5.67 crore net live today across 8,686 shows. This brings the cumulative India net collection to 79.42 crore, while the total India gross has climbed to 95.02 crore, putting the film within touching distance of its first major domestic milestone. The volume-led growth is highly evident on BookMyShow, where the film sold 8,900 tickets between 6 PM and 7 PM alone—comfortably surpassing the 8,390 tickets sold during the same window on Monday. The cumulative sales since 8 AM this morning have now touched 78,290 tickets, which is roughly 8 percent higher than yesterday's 72,440.

Regionally, the National Capital Region (NCR) continues to lead the charge with 21.7 percent occupancy across 1,044 shows, followed by Mumbai at 17.0 percent and Bengaluru at 16.7 percent.

This brings the total India net collection to 75.48 crore, while the cumulative India gross has officially crossed the 90 crore mark, currently standing at 90.37 crore.

The total sales since 8 AM this morning have now reached 45,210 tickets, comfortably outpacing yesterday total of 41,630 in the same period. This suggests that while the average ticket price is lower, the higher volume of audience walk-ins is helping the movie maintain a strong weekday baseline. In terms of occupancy, the film recorded an overall morning occupancy of 9.31 percent for its Hindi 2D version. Regionally, the National Capital Region (NCR) led the morning charts with 14 percent occupancy across 1,044 shows, followed by Mumbai and Bengaluru with 11 percent and 10 percent respectively.

Currently, the morning shows are maintaining an average occupancy of 9.0 percent. If the matinee and evening shows continue to see this growth in walk-ins, the movie is positioned to deliver a strong Tuesday performance that could closely rival its Monday collection. 10:35 AM (IST) 14 JUL 2026 Live Update: Dhamaal 4 Ranks 3rd in Post-Pandemic Comedy Single-Day Collections; Discounted Tuesday Advantage Kicks In As Dhamaal 4 moves through its first Tuesday, its performance over the opening weekend has cemented its place among the elite comedy entertainers of the post-pandemic era. Analyzing the highest single-day collections for films in this genre, Dhamaal 4 Sunday collection of 28.50 crore has officially secured the third spot on the list. It currently trails only the massive Day 3 and Day 2 figures of Housefull 5, which recorded 32.50 crore and 31.00 crore respectively. This achievement puts the Ajay Devgn starrer ahead of other major releases like Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome 3), which saw its highest single day at 24.75 crore on its first Sunday. It also managed to surpass the opening day collection of Housefull 5, which had started its run with 24.00 crore. 10:00 AM (IST) 14 JUL 2026 Live Update: Tuesday Morning Stability; Dhamaal 4 Matches Monday Momentum on BMS Dhamaal 4 is showing signs of a very steady Tuesday, holding its ground well compared to the previous day trend.

The momentum on BookMyShow is mirroring Monday performance closely. Between 8 AM and 9 AM today, the film sold 1,880 tickets, which is a marginal improvement over the 1,840 tickets sold during the same window yesterday.

Leading the charge is INOX with 5.2K tickets (11.8 lakhs), followed by PVR with 3.9K tickets (11.3 lakhs) and Cinepolis contributing 1.3K tickets (3.1 lakhs).

The Dhamaal franchise has always been a reliable performer at the box office, and the fourth installment continues this trend with a star-studded ensemble led by Ajay Devgn. While analyzing the current run, it is interesting to look back at Total Dhamaal, which remains the highest-grossing entry in the series. On its first Monday, Dhamaal 4 collected a net of 8.75 crore, which is slightly lower than the 9.85 crore managed by its predecessor on its own fourth day. However, the overall picture looks more promising for the new release when we look at the cumulative totals. In terms of the total four-day India net collection, Dhamaal 4 currently stands at 73.75 crore, successfully surpassing the 72.25 crore that Total Dhamaal had collected by the same stage. This edge is primarily due to a significant surge in ticket sales over the opening weekend. While the film did not break the Monday record of the previous film, the current numbers represent a healthy stabilization for the project after such a high-energy start. This steady performance ensures the franchise remains a strong contender in the comedy genre, maintaining its momentum as it moves into the weekdays. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Also Dhamaal 4 has reached its first major global milestone by crossing the 100 crore mark in worldwide gross collections. After a solid opening weekend, the film entered its first crucial weekday testing ground on Monday. As is typical for big-ticket releases, the movie saw a significant dip in numbers following the Sunday rush, but the overall tally remains healthy for the franchise. On its fourth day, the film collected a net amount of 8.75 crore in India. This figure represents a 69.3 percent drop compared to the Sunday collection of 28.50 crore. While the drop might look steep on paper, it is a common trend for sequels in the comedy genre. This brings the total India net collection to 73.75 crore after four days. In terms of gross revenue, the domestic market has contributed 88.33 crore across 10,598 shows on Monday, taking the cumulative India gross to that same figure. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The international market is also contributing steady support to the total tally. According to early estimates, the film added 1.50 crore from overseas territories on Monday, bringing the total overseas gross to an estimated 14.50 crore. When we combine these international figures with the domestic numbers, the worldwide gross collection stands at an estimated 102.83 crore. Reaching this 100 crore milestone within just four days is a positive sign for the star cast led by Ajay Devgn. According to data from Venky Box Office, the film has specifically made its mark in North America, where the Sunday gross was 175K dollars, which is roughly 1.47 crore. This brings the total collection in that region to 508K dollars, or approximately 4.27 crore. On the digital front, BookMyShow recorded around 124K ticket sales for Monday alone, bringing the total tickets sold on the platform to approximately 13.77 lakhs so far. Despite these solid numbers, the film narrowly missed a spot in the top 10 list for first Monday ticket sales in the 2025-26 period. It currently occupies the 12th spot, finishing just behind other recent releases like Bhooth Bangla and Sitaare Zameen Par. While the volume of sales remains healthy, the competitive landscape of this year has pushed the benchmark for Monday performance significantly higher than previous seasons. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the daily advance booking numbers for national chains on Monday, the film sold approximately 17.3K tickets, resulting in a gross of 44.8 lakhs. Breaking this down by specific chains, PVR recorded around 7.4K tickets sold with a gross of 21.3 lakhs and an occupancy of 2.2 percent. INOX followed with a solid 8K tickets sold, earning 18.8 lakhs at an occupancy of 2.6 percent. Meanwhile, Cinepolis contributed roughly 1.9K tickets and a gross of 4.7 lakhs with an occupancy rate of 1.2 percent. In terms of theater occupancy across the country, the film maintained an overall average of 17.79 percent on Monday. The day started slow with a morning occupancy of 7.62 percent but saw a steady climb as the day progressed. The afternoon shows recorded 16.62 percent, evening shows rose to 19.54 percent, and the night shows peaked at 25.15 percent. Among the major regions, Mumbai led the way with 19.3 percent occupancy across 807 shows, while the National Capital Region followed with 18.5 percent over 1,084 shows. Other cities like Pune and Ahmedabad stayed in the 16 percent range, while Surat saw a lower turnout at 11.3 percent. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing this performance to Ajay Devgn's previous post-covid releases, Dhamaal 4 holds a respectable position. It currently ranks as his third-highest first Monday collection in this period, trailing only Singham Again and Drishyam 2.
