Mumbai: Ajay Devgn’s ‘Dhamaal 4’ finally hit theatres on July 10 and social media is already buzzing with early reactions.
There have been mixed reviews online. Many viewers are calling the comedy entertainer a laugh riot and praising its humour and performances, but there are others who criticised the film’s weak writing and the use of AI-generated shots.
“A Complete FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Roller Coaster RIDE. Paisa Wasool Stuff. Dhamaal 4,” wrote one user on X.
“NON-STOP LAUGHATHON. The ultimate king of Bollywood slapstick is back, and it arrives with the force of a thunderbolt. #Dhamaal4 is a masterfully executed revival of a beloved comedy legacy that proudly returns to its roots. Director Indra Kumar bravely doubles down on loud, unapologetic, old-school physical comedy. This fourth installment follows the iconic template of the 2007 original: a frantic, greedy, every-man-for-himself treasure hunt filled with bizarre roadblocks and logic-defying situations. The entire cast delivers a high-octane masterclass in physical comedy. Every actor brings a distinct flavor of madness to the table,” read the assessment of another user.
“Entertainment galore at #Dhamaal4. Ajay Devgn, as always, leads the show, especially the Ram Ram sequence recreated from Ishq. Riteish Deshmukh gets many hilarious scenes and an endearing scene at the end. Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffrey as Adi and Manav rock. The remaining star cast lends good support to this Indra Kumar directorial. Enjoy with your family, especially in 4DX with kids. They’ll enjoy the water splash in between,” expressed one netizen.

Comparing it with ‘Total Dhamaal’ and ‘Son of Sardaar 2’, one person wrote: “I didn’t find it particularly special. Some jokes land, while others don’t. Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, Ravi Kishan, Sanjeeda Sheikh, and Riteish Deshmukh all deliver good performances, but the writing is weak. It’s slightly better than Total Dhamaal. It’s not terrible. If you watch it once with an audience, you’ll have a good time. It’s a hundred times better than Son of Sardaar 2.”
Another tweeted, “A High-Octane, Blockbuster Laugh Riot! Dhamaal 4 is a highly entertaining family package that brilliantly honors the legacy of its franchise while amplifying the scale to massive new heights. Backed by a stellar supporting cast and great technical polish, Dhamaal 4 is the perfect weekend watch for families looking for non-stop laughter.”
Highlighting the film’s shortcomings, a viewer wrote, “#Dhamaal4 was a fun ride. 3/5 Loved the first half, the second half dips here and there but still delivers enough laughs. The treasure hunt portion felt a little dull, but the emotional scenes that followed actually hit hard and added some nice weight to the film.”
Criticising the film, one wrote, “#Dhamaal4 Makers are too lazy using Cheap quality Ai to show back story montage. Instagram, youtube creators make better than this.”

One viewer criticised the VFX and AI-generated shots. “Dhamaal 4 is a decent comedy movie without any vulgarity. It’s a clean comedy movie which you can watch with your family. The overall story is very good, Comedy is very good, Jokes land very well, but some jokes are way too cringeworthy. VFX are CRAP, AI shots were a pain in the eyes, and they have used them many times in movies, especially the ocean shots.”
Directed by Indra Kumar, ‘Dhamaal 4’, the fourth instalment in the ‘Dhamaal’ franchise is produced by T-Series Films, Panorama Studios, Devgn Films, Maruti International and Anand Pandit Motion Pictures.
The film stars Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaaferi, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Upendra Limaye, Anjali Anand, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Esha Gupta and Vijay Patkar.
