Dhamaal 4 released in theatres today, July 10, 2026, opening as one of the most anticipated family entertainers of the year. The film marks the return of one of Bollywood's most successful comedy franchises, which has collectively grossed approximately ₹355 crore across its previous three installments. The fourth part looks to build on that legacy with a mix of returning favorites and new faces.

The film sees Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Arshad Warsi returning to the madness, this time joined by Ravi Kishan, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Esha Gupta. Deviating from the standard road-trip formula, Dhamaal 4 introduces sea pirates and supernatural elements as the gang tracks down a ₹50 crore treasure. Notably, the film received a UA 13+ rating from the CBFC with zero scene cuts, making it a wide-access film for family audiences.
Initial trends suggest the film is finding its footing in major circuits like Maharashtra and Delhi-NCR. While the franchise started in 2007 as a cult comedy inspired by the Hollywood classic 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World', the fourth installment aims to capture the box office momentum seen by Total Dhamaal. The coming hours will be crucial to see how spot bookings translate into the final Day 1 numbers.
