“Dhamaal 4” Opens Strong: Ajay Devgn’s Comedy Caper Beats “Welcome To The Jungle” on Opening Weekend

The comedy caper franchise is proving it still has box office pull. “Dhamaal 4,” starring Ajay Devgn, wrapped up its opening weekend with a strong ₹64.50 crore nett, edging past rival release “Welcome To The Jungle’s” opening weekend of ₹63.50 crore — despite starting with a slightly lower Friday number.

The film picked up serious momentum as the weekend progressed, netting an estimated ₹28 crore on Sunday alone, capping a trend that trade analysts are calling genuinely encouraging. Here’s the interesting part: Dhamaal 4 actually opened ₹5 crore behind “Welcome To The Jungle” on day one, yet still finished the weekend ahead — a sign of strong word-of-mouth and weekend growth rather than pure opening-day hype.

So, is this a HIT in the making? The numbers say yes — but trade watchers are proceeding with some caution. “Welcome To The Jungle” had a similarly promising opening weekend and even held up well through Monday, only to hit a wall by midweek and never fully recover. Early advance bookings for Dhamaal 4’s Monday also appear softer compared to how strongly its own opening weekend trended.

That said, there’s one major factor working in the film’s favor: a clear three-week theatrical runway before “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” arrives and shakes up the competitive landscape. “The Odyssey” releases next week too, but caters to a different audience segment entirely, so direct competition should stay limited. If Dhamaal 4 avoids a weekday slump, a HIT verdict looks well within reach.

Franchise comedies like this remain a reliable box office draw in Bollywood, tapping into the broader appeal of the comedy film genre’s ability to consistently pull family audiences.
