Dhamaal 4 Crosses ₹84 Crore Domestic Mark as Ticket Sales Surge
Strong Domestic and Global Performance:
Ajay Devgn’s comedy franchise, Dhamaal 4, has maintained a robust trajectory at the box office, crossing the ₹84 crore domestic collection mark on its sixth day. The film has demonstrated exceptional holding power during the weekdays, earning approximately ₹9.50 crore on Tuesday alone. Globally, the movie has surpassed ₹115 crore in gross earnings, proving the enduring appeal of the ensemble cast and the franchise’s slapstick humour. Analysts suggest the film is well on its way to entering the ₹100 crore domestic club by the end of its first week.
Growth Amidst Minimal Discounts:
In a departure from recent industry trends, Dhamaal 4 has seen a surge in ticket sales despite the absence of major mid-week discounts or promotional offers. While many big-budget films rely on 'Buy One Get One' schemes to sustain weekday numbers, this film has thrived on pure organic demand and positive word-of-mouth. The Tuesday surge is particularly notable, as it typically marks a decline for most releases. This performance mirrors the success of previous high-grossing comedies that relied on family audiences returning to theatres during non-holiday windows.
Future Forecast and Week One Outlook:
With its current momentum, Dhamaal 4 is projected to reach the ₹90 crore domestic milestone by the conclusion of its first week in theatres. The film features a recurring cast including Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Jaaved Jaaferi, whose chemistry remains a major draw for the target demographic. As there are no major competing releases scheduled for the upcoming weekend, the movie is expected to dominate the box office for a second consecutive week. This success further solidifies Ajay Devgn’s position as a reliable lead for both high-octane action and mass-market comedy.
