The box office performance of Dhamaal 4, the latest installment in the beloved comedy franchise, has been a topic of discussion among Bollywood enthusiasts. On its second day, the film collected ₹10.50 crore net from 7,996 shows, with occupancy at 26%. While this is a decent performance, it falls short of its predecessor, Total Dhamaal, which collected a massive ₹20.40 crore net on its second day alone. The sharp drop on its second day has slowed its early momentum, and for now, it is trailing behind both its predecessor and several recent comedy releases.
One of the key factors contributing to the film's underperformance is the mixed word of mouth. While some viewers enjoyed the comedy, others were less impressed, and the negative reviews seem to have affected the film's box office numbers. The film's performance also looks modest compared to Welcome To The Jungle, which was released in theatres on June 26 and collected a solid ₹20 crore net on its second day.
Despite the film's underperformance, the makers have already hinted that the franchise is far from over. A post-credit scene in Dhamaal 4 reportedly confirmed that Dhamaal 5 is in the works, with Farhad Samji set to write the next instalment. This suggests that the franchise has a strong fan base and that the makers are confident in its potential to continue.
In conclusion, while Dhamaal 4 has not performed as well as expected at the box office, the franchise's popularity and the makers' confidence in its potential suggest that there is still a lot of life left in the series. The film's underperformance may be a temporary setback, and the franchise is likely to continue for many years to come.
