The madness is back on the big screen. Dhamaal 4 finally hit theatres on July 10, bringing together an ensemble cast led by Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi. Packed with slapstick comedy, treasure hunts and over-the-top chaos, the latest instalment in the popular franchise has already sparked conversations online. Fans rushed to the first-day-first-show, and social media is now filled with reactions ranging from "paisa vasool entertainer" to "average watch." Here's what netizens are saying.
Netizens review on Dhamaal 4
Early reactions on X (formerly Twitter) indicate that Dhamaal 4 has received a mixed-to-positive response. While many viewers enjoyed its family-friendly humour and comic moments, others felt the film relies too much on familiar formulas. Overall, the consensus suggests that the movie delivers enough laughs for fans of the franchise, even if it doesn't work equally well for everyone.
One viewer called Dhamaal 4 an entertaining family film, praising Ajay Devgn's comic timing, particularly the recreated "Ram Ram" sequence from Ishq. The user also appreciated Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi, saying the ensemble cast keeps the entertainment going throughout. The tweet recommended watching the film with family, especially in 4DX
Another user shared an interval review, describing the film as decent so far. According to the viewer, some jokes land well while others feel forced. The storyline was praised as one of the film's strengths, but the music received criticism. The user also felt the AI-generated opening sequence looked unconvincing, though the background score worked reasonably well.
Calling it a "paisa vasool movie", one of them wrote, Dhamaal 4 is a complete entertainer with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The user praised the first half for setting up the story effectively and felt the second half became even more enjoyable with its treasure hunt, horror-comedy elements and animal sequences. Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi were singled out as the biggest highlights, while Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh and Sanjay Mishra also earned appreciation. However, the reviewer noted that the songs and a few dialogues could have been better.
Another viewer felt the film was thoroughly entertaining by the interval and even claimed it was more enjoyable than Welcome to the Jungle. The user praised the steady flow of comedy and said the film remained engaging throughout the first half.
Not everyone walked away impressed. Some of them called the film a "snoozefest," arguing that several comic scenes failed to create the intended impact because of average execution. While Sanjay Mishra received praise for bringing some laughs, the reviewer believed the humour would appeal more to children and audiences in smaller cities than to adults.
Many of them felt that Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi, returning as Adi and Manav, recreate the charm of the original Dhamaal. Fans said their chemistry remains one of the strongest aspects of the film and contributes significantly to its comic appeal.
Several social media users also appreciated Ajay Devgn's effortless comic timing and Riteish Deshmukh's emotional performance in the latter half. According to many viewers, the duo adds both humour and heart to the story.
Dhamaal 5 already teased?
Reports suggest the fun may not end with Dhamaal 4. According to Bollywood Hungama, the makers have included a scene towards the end of the film that hints at Dhamaal 5. If the reports are accurate, the franchise is expected to continue with another comedy adventure featuring its beloved characters.
According to Sacnilk, Dhamaal 4 collected around Rs 1.36 crore in advance bookings across 7,709 shows before its release. Maharashtra contributed the highest share of pre-sales, indicating strong interest among audiences. The film features a massive cast including Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, Sanjay Mishra, Ravi Kishan, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar, Anjali Anand, Sanjeeda Shaikh and Esha Gupta, and is directed by Indra Kumar.
