'Dhamaal 4' Box Office Day 10: Film falls just short of Rs 125 crore domestic total
- Day 10 collection: Rs 2.15 crore
- 10-day domestic total: Rs 122.85 crore
- Film missed the Rs 125 crore mark by Rs 2.15 crore
The numbers are in, and 'Dhamaal 4' has come within striking distance of a major box office milestone. On its tenth day in Indian theatres, the comedy franchise's latest instalment collected Rs 2.15 crore, taking its domestic total to Rs 122.85 crore.
The film missed the Rs 125 crore mark by a whisker. Industry estimates suggest the gap is just Rs 2.15 crore, a figure that could have been bridged with a stronger weekend push.
Second Sunday performance
Day 10 was the second Sunday for 'Dhamaal 4'. The film earned Rs 2.15 crore, a noticeable dip from its opening weekend numbers. Early morning shows saw lower footfalls, though evening and night screenings picked up marginally.
Trade analysts point out that the film's weekday performance will now determine if it crosses the Rs 125 crore milestone. The coming Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be critical.
Franchise momentum holds
The 'Dhamaal' series has been a reliable crowd-puller for over a decade. The fourth instalment, released on July 10, opened to mixed reviews but benefited from strong nostalgia and holiday weekend releases.
Compared to its predecessor, 'Dhamaal 3', which earned Rs 95 crore in its lifetime domestic run, the current film is already ahead by nearly 30 per cent. The franchise's core appeal—broad, slapstick comedy—continues to work in smaller cities and single-screen theatres.
What the numbers mean
Crossing Rs 125 crore in ten days is no small feat. The film's performance is particularly notable given that it faces no major new Bollywood release this week. However, Hollywood holdover 'Deadpool Vs Wolverine' continues to occupy premium screens in multiplexes.
Analysts note that 'Dhamaal 4' has a chance to reach Rs 140-150 crore if it sustains momentum through the week. A weekday drop of more than 50 per cent could make that target difficult.
Officials at the production house have not yet released a statement on the numbers. Trade sources indicate the film's budget was around Rs 80 crore, meaning it has already crossed the break-even point.
Looking ahead, the film's third weekend will be crucial. If it can hold steady against new releases, the Rs 125 crore mark should fall within the next two days.
