Ajay Devgn’s comedy franchise found its legs on Saturday. The Dhamaal 4 box office day 2 collection landed at ₹22.50 crore net in India, a jump of roughly 60% over its ₹14 crore opening, according to India TV News. That pushes the two-day India total to ₹36.50 crore.
Here’s the catch fans keep running into: every tracker is shouting a slightly different number. ₹22.50cr. ₹23.31cr. ₹26.18cr. So which one is real? All of them, actually — and this post untangles why, then stacks Dhamaal 4 against Alpha, Welcome to the Jungle, and the franchise’s own big brother, Total Dhamaal.
Dhamaal 4 Box Office Day 2 Collection: The Numbers
Start with the headline. Day 2 net came in at ₹22.50 crore, and India.com confirms the same figure, with cumulative India gross at ₹43.80 crore and worldwide gross at ₹53.80 crore off 10,954 shows and 35% occupancy (India.com).
Then the gross figure. TrackTollywood logs ₹26.18 crore gross on Day 2, up 63.6% from Day 1’s ₹16.01 crore gross, across 13,160 shows and 921,520 tickets. Koimoi, running its own net estimate, pegs Day 2 at ₹23.31 crore.
So who’s right? The short answer:
- ₹22.50cr and ₹23.31cr are net figures — what the film keeps after GST.
- ₹26.18cr is gross — the full ticket window before tax.
- The small gap between the two net trackers is just early-estimate variance before final numbers lock.
Directed by Indra Kumar, the film reunites Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi (Pinkvilla). And that Saturday spike was enough to hand it Bollywood’s third-biggest first Saturday of 2026, behind only Dhurandhar 2 (₹117cr) and Border 2 (₹40.59cr), per Koimoi.
Dhamaal 4 Day-Wise Box Office Report
Here’s the clean day-wise picture, net and gross side by side.

|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 (Fri, Jul 10) | ₹14.00 cr | ₹16.01 cr | ~21–24% |
| Day 2 (Sat, Jul 11) | ₹22.50 cr | ₹26.18 cr | ~32–35% |

Why the Day 2 Jump? Weekend Word-of-Mouth Meets Mixed Reviews
Don’t read the spike as pure critical love. Occupancy nearly doubled overnight — 21.2% to 31.8% on TrackTollywood, 24% to 35% on India.com — which is exactly what a normal Friday-to-Saturday weekend bump looks like.
The audience verdict is split. ETV Bharat noted that several viewers loved the nostalgia and the ensemble, while others felt the comedy didn’t land as hard as earlier chapters. Slapstick sells tickets on a weekend regardless. The real test comes Monday.
Dhamaal 4 vs Alpha vs Welcome to the Jungle: Saturday Box Office
Same trading day, three very different stories. On July 11, Dhamaal 4 was the new kid surging, while the other two were holdovers living on their long tail.
| Film | July 11 Collection | Cumulative | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dhamaal 4 | ₹22.50 cr net | ₹36.50 cr | Day 2 |
| Alpha | ₹2.25 cr | ₹51.35 cr | Day 9 |
| Welcome to the Jungle | ₹1.60 cr | ₹127.65 cr | Week 3 |
All three figures come from the same India TV News report. Alpha — the first female-led YRF Spy Universe film — crossed ₹50 crore that day; if you missed the buzz, our Alpha trailer review covers where it started. Akshay Kumar’s Welcome to the Jungle, meanwhile, is quietly grinding past ₹127 crore.
Read it straight: Dhamaal 4 out-earned both rivals in a single day. But that’s a first-Saturday surge against two fading multi-week runs, so it’s not quite apples to apples.
Dhamaal 4 vs Total Dhamaal (2019): The Franchise Angle
This is the number nobody else is putting front and center. Total Dhamaal, the franchise’s biggest hit, opened to ₹16.50 crore on Day 1 and did ₹20.40 crore net on its Saturday (Wikipedia, ETV Bharat).
Line them up. Dhamaal 4 trailed on Day 1 (₹14cr vs ₹16.50cr) but its ₹22.50cr Saturday actually edged past Total Dhamaal’s ₹20.40cr. In other words, the newest chapter is now pacing slightly ahead of the franchise’s champion by Day 2. That’s a real story.
The mountain ahead is steep, though. Total Dhamaal finished at ₹228.27 crore worldwide and crossed ₹200 crore in just 12 days. To become the biggest Dhamaal ever, Part 4 has to hold — not just spike.
What’s Next at the Box Office?
Sunday should nudge higher before the Monday drop tells us who actually showed up for the film versus the weekend. Pinkvilla currently projects an opening weekend near ₹60 crore net on this trajectory.
My take? A ₹36.50 crore two-day net for a fourth-installment comedy with lukewarm reviews is genuinely healthy. Whether it turns into paisa vasool or fizzles depends entirely on those weekday holds.
