Ajay Devgn’s latest comedy entertainer Dhamaal 4 has opened on a decent note at the Indian box office, but its first-day numbers have fallen short of Akshay Kumar’s Welcome To The Jungle. While the film has managed to attract family audiences, it could not match the stronger opening recorded by the earlier comedy blockbuster.
Dhamaal 4 Box Office Collection Day 1
According to Sacnilk, Dhamaal 4 collected an estimated Rs 13.75 crore net in India on its opening day across all languages. The film also earned an estimated Rs 16.50 crore gross in India on Day 1, giving the comedy franchise a respectable start despite facing competition at the box office. (Sacnilk)
Welcome To The Jungle Box Office Collection
In comparison, Welcome To The Jungle had enjoyed a stronger opening by collecting over Rs 15 crore net on its official opening day. The Akshay Kumar-led multi-starrer also benefited from paid previews, taking its combined opening to around Rs 19 crore net, which generated strong word of mouth and boosted spot bookings from the very first day.

Although Dhamaal 4 has started below Welcome To The Jungle, the gap is not massive. Comedy films often depend heavily on family audiences over the weekend rather than advance bookings. Positive audience reactions and favourable word of mouth could help Ajay Devgn’s film witness significant growth on Saturday and Sunday.

Dhamaal 4 Cast And Crew
Directed by Indra Kumar, Dhamaal 4 marks the latest instalment in the popular comedy franchise. The film brings together an ensemble cast led by Ajay Devgn alongside Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, Sanjay Mishra and several other familiar faces. The franchise has built a loyal fan base over the years, which could work in its favour during the weekend.
Trade experts will now closely watch whether Dhamaal 4 can maintain steady momentum over the next two days. A strong weekend could help the film recover from its comparatively lower opening and set the stage for a healthy first-week collection.
For now, however, the Day 1 box office battle belongs to Welcome To The Jungle, with Akshay Kumar’s comedy retaining the edge over Ajay Devgn’s latest release in terms of opening-day collections. (Sacnilk)
