Ajay Devgn's comedy drama Dhamaal 4 continues to hold steady at the box office, collecting Rs 3.25 crore on its second Monday. The film has now crossed the Rs 125 crore mark in India within 11 days of release.
The second Monday collection shows a healthy run for the franchise film. Trade analysts point out that maintaining a crore-plus figure on a weekday, especially after the opening weekend rush, signals good word-of-mouth.
Dhamaal 4 had already crossed Rs 130.79 crore in its first 10 days, according to early estimates. The film's total India net collection now stands at Rs 128.50 crore after 12 days, as per the latest figures from the industry.
The comedy film is now inching close to surpassing Welcome To The Jungle in its lifetime collection. Industry insiders note that Dhamaal 4 is also holding its own against stiff competition from The Odyssey, which has been a box office storm globally.
The film's performance is particularly notable given the crowded release calendar. Despite the competition, the Ajay Devgn starrer has managed to draw audiences to theatres, especially in the multiplexes of major cities.
With the third weekend approaching, trade experts expect the film to add another Rs 10-12 crore to its kitty. The current trajectory suggests a lifetime collection of around Rs 135 crore India net, which would make it one of the top-grossing comedies of the year.
The film's steady run has also boosted the franchise's overall brand value. Producers are likely to greenlight a fifth installment given the commercial success of Dhamaal 4.
Early audience reviews had praised the film's comic timing and ensemble cast. The word-of-mouth has been largely positive, helping the film sustain its box office momentum beyond the initial hype.
The film's performance in the Hindi belt has been particularly strong, contributing over 60% of its total collections. The dubbed versions in Tamil and Telugu have also added to the overall numbers.
Industry watchers now await the film's third-weekend numbers to determine if it can cross the Rs 150 crore mark. Given the current trends, that milestone remains within reach if the film maintains its current pace.
All eyes are now on the third Friday collections, which will indicate whether Dhamaal 4 can sustain its run through the end of the month. The film's performance in the coming days will determine if it becomes the highest-grossing film in the franchise's history.
