Indra Kumar's latest directorial, Dhamaal 4, starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Jaaved Jaaferi, has delivered an impressive opening weekend at the global box office. The comedy film has emerged as the highest-grossing opener in the franchise's history, quickly nearing the prestigious ₹100 crore worldwide club.
Box Office Triumph: India and Global Figures
According to industry reports, Dhamaal 4 amassed a net collection of ₹65 crore in India over its opening weekend. This figure includes ₹14 crore on Friday, ₹22.5 crore on Saturday, and a substantial ₹28.5 crore on Sunday. In gross terms, the film's India collection reached ₹78 crore within three days.
Globally, the film's performance has been equally robust, with an additional ₹14 crore from international markets. This brings its worldwide gross collection to an impressive ₹92 crore by the end of Sunday. With just ₹8 crore remaining, analysts predict Dhamaal 4 will comfortably surpass the ₹100 crore worldwide mark early in its first week.
Strong Audience Engagement Across Key Markets
The film's widespread appeal was evident in its strong occupancy rates across major Indian cities on Sunday. Mumbai led with 55.5% occupancy across 868 shows, closely followed by Ahmedabad at 55%. Other significant contributions came from Pune (47.8%), Bengaluru (46.3%), NCR (45%), and Surat (43.8%), highlighting its pan-India success and healthy footfalls.
Outperforming Competitors and Franchise Predecessors
Dhamaal 4 has demonstrated significant early momentum, comfortably outperforming other recent releases. For instance, it surpassed Alia Bhatt's Alpha, which had grossed ₹63.64 crore worldwide after four days, including Monday. Dhamaal 4 achieved ₹92 crore in just three days, signaling a much stronger initial run.
Furthermore, the film's opening weekend collections have exceeded all previous installments in the Dhamaal series, solidifying its position as the franchise's most successful debut to date. Positive word-of-mouth and increasing theatrical attendance over the weekend have been key drivers of its success.
The Road Ahead for Dhamaal 4
The ensemble cast, including Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Ravi Kishan, has resonated with audiences, continuing the franchise's signature blend of slapstick comedy and adventure. As the film transitions into its first weekday run, a consistent performance on Monday will be crucial to securing its place in the coveted ₹100 crore worldwide club and reinforcing its status as a major Hindi comedy success of 2026.
