Ajay Devgn's latest film, Dhamaal 4, is proving to be a box office success, with an impressive four-day collection of Rs. 73 crore. The comedy drama, directed by Indra Kumar and backed by T-Series Films, has already made a strong start, collecting Rs. 8.50 crore on its first Monday. This is a positive sign, especially considering the 40% drop from the opening day, which is a common trend for sequels. The film's performance on Wednesday will be crucial in determining its overall success, as it needs to hold well to be considered a 'Clean Hit'.
One of the key factors contributing to Dhamaal 4's success is its strategic release schedule. By not opting for a discounted Tuesday release, the film demonstrates confidence in its appeal to audiences. This decision is particularly significant given the competition from other releases, such as Welcome to the Jungle, which dropped to Rs. 6 crore on Monday. The fact that Dhamaal 4 managed to maintain a strong hold on its first Monday, despite the elevated business due to summer breaks in North India, is a testament to its popularity.
The film's three-week open run also provides an advantage, as it can afford some drop in collections without significantly impacting its overall performance. This is especially true on Wednesday, when most schools resume sessions, potentially leading to a softer drop in business. However, if Dhamaal 4 can maintain a hold over Rs. 7 crore on Wednesday, it will solidify its position as a Clean Hit. The comparison with Welcome to the Jungle highlights the importance of a strong Wednesday performance, as the latter suffered a significant drop due to its Friday release, which was the real killer for its box office success.
The box office collections of Dhamaal 4 in India are as follows:
- Friday: Rs. 14.00 cr.
- Saturday: Rs. 22.50 cr.
- Sunday: Rs. 28.00 cr.
- Monday: Rs. 8.50 cr. (est.)
- Total: Rs. 73.00 cr.
