Dhamaal 4 Day 1: Ajay Devgn Leads Comedy to Solid Start with ₹15.5 Cr Nett

Ajay Devgn’s latest comedy entertainer, Dhamaal 4, kickstarted its theatrical run with an impressive ₹15.5 crore nett on its opening day across India. This robust figure is particularly notable given the film’s modest advance bookings and mixed critical response, signalling strong walk-in footfalls, especially in mass circuits.

While detailed breakdowns for Telugu states such as Andhra Pradesh and Telangana remain unavailable, industry trackers note that Hindi mass belts have powered the initial surge. The film’s opening is remarkably similar to Akshay Kumar’s recent comedy, Welcome to the Jungle, which also overcame soft advances with strong day-one numbers, suggesting a trend of mass audiences driving box office despite pre-release buzz.

Comparing with current season releases, Dhamaal 4’s debut matches or exceeds many recent Bollywood comedies, holding its own against a lineup of big-star films. For Ajay Devgn, whose recent box office track has been mixed with both hits and underperformers, this marks a welcome return to strong opening day territory.

The film is yet to achieve breakeven, but the surging bookings and positive word-of-mouth in family and mass segments put Dhamaal 4 on a promising trajectory. If the momentum holds through the weekend, the film could comfortably recoup its investment and deliver healthy returns for distributors.

With Saturday bookings witnessing a palpable uptick, and more footfalls expected in the coming days, all eyes are on whether Dhamaal 4 can sustain this kinetic start. The industry will be watching closely to see if this signals renewed audience appetite for ensemble comedies, hinting that strong walk-ins can trump lukewarm advances in the current box office climate.
