The horror-comedy genre has become a powerhouse at the box office, with the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise leading the way in India. Following the massive success of the second and third installments, fans have been looking for any confirmation regarding Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4. While the return of Kartik Aaryan as the fan-favorite Rooh Baba seems like a foregone conclusion, director Anees Bazmee has shared some realistic insights into why the project has not officially taken off yet. In a recent conversation with Variety India, Bazmee explained that while there is significant interest in a fourth film, the biggest hurdle is the script. The director admitted that after three successful movies, the creative team has essentially covered every major angle possible within this universe. He noted that they even took the bold step of turning the hero into a Manjulika-like figure in the previous film, which leaves very little room for a fresh surprise. For Bazmee, the priority is to find a story that justifies a return rather than just making another film for the sake of the franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the track record of the franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 were both major hits, establishing Kartik Aaryan as a reliable star for this specific genre. Bazmee described Aaryan as a hard-working director's actor who excels in comedy, and their rapport is a key reason why another collaboration is inevitable. The director has a history of building long-term working relationships with stars, having done multiple projects with Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar in the past. It is clear that the team is ready to move forward the moment a compelling narrative is locked in. While the search for a new Bhool Bhulaiyaa story continues, Bazmee is already busy finishing his next big project. This upcoming film is also a comedy and features a reunion with Akshay Kumar, with whom the director has worked on hits like Welcome and Singh Is Kinng. The cast also includes Vidya Balan and Raashii Khanna, making it one of the more anticipated comedies of the coming year. This shows that while the horror-comedy franchise might be on a temporary pause, the director remains focused on delivering high-energy entertainment for the big screen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ultimately, the fate of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 rests on finding a great story that can live up to the legacy of its predecessors. Given that the previous films set such high benchmarks in terms of both humor and box office numbers, the caution from the makers is logical. Once a unique hook is found that can offer something new to the audience, the director has confirmed he would love to be back at the helm to continue the Rooh Baba saga.

Dhamaal 4 is steadily approaching the end of its first month at the box office, continuing to show resilience even as newer releases dominate the screen space. On its twenty-seventh day, which fell on a Wednesday, the film recorded a net collection of 0.55 crore rupees. This reflects a drop of approximately 31.3 percent compared to Tuesday's net of 0.80 crore rupees. While the numbers have naturally tapered off after four weeks, the film managed to sustain these collections across 2,317 shows nationwide. Taking a look at the cumulative performance, the total India net collection now stands at 163 crore rupees, with the domestic gross reaching 194 crore rupees. The international market has also chipped in, with Wednesday adding 5 lakh rupees to the tally. This brings the total overseas gross to 31 crore rupees. When we combine these figures, Dhamaal 4 has achieved a global gross collection of 224 crore rupees. This consistent performance over 188,383 shows globally indicates that the comedy franchise still holds significant appeal for its target audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Lets take a look on how much the national chains contributed, Collectively, PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis sold 2,000 tickets, resulting in a total gross of 4.5 lakh rupees and an average occupancy of 3 percent. Breaking this down with rounded figures, PVR contributed 2.2 lakh rupees from 800 tickets across 180 shows. INOX followed with 1.6 lakh rupees from 900 tickets across 180 shows, while Cinepolis added 0.7 lakh rupees from 300 tickets across 100 shows. These numbers match the total national chain gross of 4.5 lakh rupees for the day, showing that footfalls are now concentrated in specific pockets. In terms of audience engagement for the Hindi 2D version, the overall occupancy for the day was 15 percent. Looking at the day's progression, the film started slow with 9 percent occupancy in the morning and nearly 10 percent in the afternoon. However, there was a noticeable uptick as the day progressed, with evening shows hitting 15 percent and night shows peaking at 18 percent. This trend suggests that the film is currently being driven by late-night family outings and casual viewers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Regionally, the National Capital Region remained the most active hub for the film, hosting 220 shows with an overall occupancy of 12 percent. In this region, the afternoon slots were the busiest at 16 percent. Ahmedabad followed with 210 shows at 7 percent occupancy, while Mumbai saw 115 shows with a 9 percent occupancy rate. In Mumbai, the afternoon screenings were the highlight, reaching 11 percent. Surat recorded a lower engagement with 130 shows at 3 percent occupancy, reflecting the general fatigue that sets in for a film in its fourth week. On the fourth Tuesday, BookMyShow recorded 17k tickets, which settled at 8k tickets on Wednesday. So far, the platform has facilitated the sale of over 28 lakh tickets for the film. As Dhamaal 4 enters its final stretch before the fifth week begins, it has successfully secured its position as a profitable venture, having maintained a steady hold on the box office throughout its month-long theatrical run.

Mumbai, August 6 - Bollywood star Ajay Devgn is reportedly reshuffling his release calendar, setting up one of the biggest box office battles of 2026. Devgn's jungle adventure Ranger has reportedly been postponed to 2027, with Golmaal 5 taking over its December 4, 2026 release date, according to Variety India. If the report proves accurate, the Rohit Shetty directorial will lock horns with Prabhas' Fauzi and Akshay Kumar's untitled comedy entertainer directed by Anees Bazmee. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The reshuffle significantly raises the stakes for the December corridor. While Golmaal 5 and Akshay Kumar's yet-to-be-titled film belong to the comedy genre, Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is a large-scale period action drama led by Prabhas. The clash would offer audiences two commercial comedies against a pan-India action spectacle, making it one of the most diverse and highly anticipated box office battles in recent years. However, Golmaal 5's arrival (if official) could also trigger another major release change. Akshay Kumar is playing a major role in Rohit Shetty's comedy alongside Ajay Devgn. Releasing two Akshay Kumar-led commercial entertainers on the same day would split both the actor's fanbase and the comedy audience, making it an unlikely scenario. As a result, Anees Bazmee's untitled film is also a strong candidate to move to another release date, although no official decision has been announced yet. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If that happens, Prabhas' Fauzi could be left facing only Golmaal 5, turning the clash into a battle between one of Indian cinema's biggest comedy franchises and one of the country's biggest pan-India stars. Golmaal 5 boasts an ensemble cast featuring Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu and Sharman Joshi, who returns to the franchise after appearing in the original Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006). Meanwhile, Fauzi stars Prabhas alongside Imanvi, Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Bhanu Chander and Jayapradha. The film carries high expectations following director Hanu Raghavapudi's critically acclaimed Sita Ramam and Prabhas' massive pan-India fan base. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar's untitled comedy with Anees Bazmee also stars Vidya Balan and Raashii Khanna. While the release calendar is yet to be officially finalised, the coming weeks are expected to bring clarity on whether Bollywood will witness a three-way blockbuster clash or another round of strategic postponements.

Dhamaal 4 is showing surprising resilience as it moves through its third week. For a comedy franchise that relies on repeat value and family audiences, the film is holding its ground despite newer competition. On its nineteenth day, which was its third Tuesday, the movie brought in a net collection of 2.10 crore. This is a notable 31.3 percent jump from Monday's 1.60 crore, suggesting that the film is benefiting from mid-week theater-goers and perhaps a steady word-of-mouth trail. This growth is particularly impressive because the film is currently navigating a market with strong holdover like The Odyssey, which continues to see good traction in India. While it currently sits as the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year, catching up to Bhooth Bangla will be a challenge. The road ahead is packed with upcoming releases like Batwara 1947 and Awarapan 2, plus the major Hollywood arrival of Spider-Man, which will make securing screens much tougher in the coming weeks. If we look at the broader picture, the India gross collection has now reached 182.32 crore, which translates to a domestic net total of 153.35 crore. The film has also found some traction abroad, adding 0.25 crore on Tuesday to bring its total overseas gross to 29.45 crore. Combining the domestic and international business, the worldwide gross for Dhamaal 4 now stands at 211.77 crore. This milestone is significant because it puts the film in striking distance of some of Ajay Devgn's biggest career hits. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ticket sales on BookMyShow reflect this late-week surge. On Monday, the film sold about 27,900 tickets, but that number climbed to 39,250 on Tuesday. In total, the film has sold over 26.56 lakh tickets on the platform since its release. In the national cinema chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—it currently stands as the third highest-selling movie, trailing only behind the massive holdover of The Odyssey and the recent hit Jana Nayagan. Looking at the daily advance figures for these chains, the film generated a gross of approximately 32.3 lakh. This came from around 16.7 lakh at PVR, 11.1 lakh at INOX, and 4.5 lakh at Cinepolis, totaling roughly 23,400 tickets sold across these venues. The regional occupancy for the Hindi 2D version shows that the National Capital Region (NCR) remains a stronghold with 21.3 percent occupancy across 620 shows. Mumbai followed with 17.8 percent occupancy across 405 shows, while Pune recorded a healthy 17.3 percent. Other regions like Ahmedabad and Surat saw lower overall occupancy but maintained strong night show turnouts, often peaking near 26 to 29 percent. This trend of evening and night show growth is helping the film sustain its daily numbers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of annual rankings, Dhamaal 4 is currently the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood movie of the year. It trails behind Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, Border 2, and Bhooth Bangla. While it is performing well, surpassing Bhooth Bangla might be a tall order. The upcoming schedule is crowded with major releases like Batwara and Awarapan on the domestic front, alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Spider-Man. Additionally, the continued dominance of The Odyssey makes it difficult for any holdover film to claim more screen space. For Ajay Devgn, this film is another strong addition to his box office portfolio. It is currently very close to surpassing Singham Returns, which earned 216.56 crore worldwide. Once it crosses that mark, it will cement its place among his most successful leading roles. To give you some context on where this film stands compared to his other major solo hits, here is the ranking of his top movies based on worldwide gross collection.

Mumbai, July 22 - The final month of 2026 is shaping up to be an absolute blockbuster for moviegoers.

Mumbai, July 23 - Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 has emerged as one of the biggest Bollywood comedy successes of 2026. Despite facing stiff competition from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey during its second week, the Indra Kumar directorial has continued to attract family audiences and maintain a steady run at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After 13 days in theatres, the film has grossed approximately 182.50 crore worldwide, putting it firmly on course to cross the 200 crore worldwide milestone. At the Indian box office, the comedy entertainer has collected around 134.50 crore net (160 crore gross), while overseas, the film has contributed an estimated 22.50 crore, taking its worldwide total to 182.50 crore. Although weekday collections have slowed compared to its opening weekend, the film has remained remarkably stable for the genre and continues to benefit from positive word of mouth among family audiences. Interestingly, Dhamaal 4 is now set to achieve a milestone that another major Bollywood comedy of the year could not. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle, which released two weeks before Dhamaal 4, was widely expected to finish with over 200 crore worldwide gross after its strong opening. However, the film lost momentum during its theatrical run due to increasing competition and eventually fell short of the landmark. In contrast, Dhamaal 4 has shown stronger legs at the box office and is now expected to comfortably enter the 200 crore worldwide club. The success of Dhamaal 4 is another major commercial win for Ajay Devgn, whose recent theatrical releases have consistently performed well at the box office. While The Odyssey has taken away premium screens and urban audiences since its release, Dhamaal 4 has managed to hold its own by appealing to its core mass and family demographic.

The Dhamaal franchise has built a significant legacy over the last seventeen years, and the fourth installment is currently proving that there is still plenty of mileage left in its signature slapstick humor. Featuring the returning ensemble of Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Javed Jaffrey, the film has managed to recapture the family audience that turned the previous chapters into major hits. The standout milestone in its current run comes from the international market, where the film has officially crossed the 1 million dollar mark in North America. This achievement, paired with a resilient second-week performance in India, confirms that the brand's appeal remains intact even after nearly two decades since the original film's release. According to Venky Box Office, Dhamaal 4 collected 20,000 dollars [₹16.6 lakhs] on Monday, bringing its total in North America to 993,000 dollars [₹8.24 crore]. Given that the film added another 0.40 crore rupees [~$48,000] to its total overseas gross on Tuesday, it has now officially surpassed the 1 million dollar milestone in this territory. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the domestic market, the film registered a notable recovery on its second Tuesday. It collected a net of 4.00 crore rupees, which is a 23.1 percent jump from the 3.25 crore rupees earned on Monday. This mid-week growth across its 8,533 shows has pushed the total India net collection to 131.75 crore rupees. The total India gross now stands at 156.80 crore rupees, reflecting a resilient run for a sequel during its second week in cinemas. Looking at the global performance, the overseas gross has reached 22.30 crore rupees after adding 40 lakhs on day 12. Combined with the domestic numbers, the worldwide gross for Dhamaal 4 has reached 179.10 crore rupees. The film is now logically positioned to cross the 200 crore mark globally if it maintains this level of stability over the coming weekend shows. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Audience engagement on digital platforms remains strong, as seen in the daily BookMyShow ticket sales. The film sold 69,450 tickets on its second Tuesday, which is a clear improvement over the 53,070 tickets sold on Monday. This brings the total tracked tickets on the platform to over 2.31 million. In terms of season rankings for the 2025-26 period, Dhamaal 4 currently holds the tenth spot for highest second Tuesday ticket sales, trailing just behind Housefull 5 and Bhooth Bangla. The occupancy trends for day 12 show a clear preference for late-day viewing among the urban audience. The overall occupancy started at a modest 5.77 percent in the morning and climbed to a peak of 24.38 percent for the night shows. Regionally, the National Capital Region led the way with 25.8 percent occupancy across 761 shows. Mumbai followed with 19 percent, while Bengaluru saw a healthy 17.8 percent. Even in major regions like Ahmedabad and Lucknow, the film maintained steady double-digit occupancy, which is a positive indicator for its longevity. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the national multiplex chains, including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film recorded a gross advance of 12 lakhs from 6,650 tickets. While the advance numbers were relatively quiet, the actual theater walk-ins throughout the day were far more substantial, helping drive that 4 crore net finish. This difference shows that a significant portion of the audience is still opting for spot bookings at the counter, especially for evening and night slots. As the film moves forward, these steady numbers suggest it still has enough momentum to reach its next major financial milestone.

Mumbai, July 20 - Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 continues to enjoy a superb run at the Indian box office, delivering a solid second weekend despite competition from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The comedy entertainer has held really well after a strong opening week, with family audiences continuing to drive collections across the country. The film's impressive hold has cemented its position as one of the biggest Hindi hits of the year. The Indra Kumar directorial collected an impressive 28.50 crore net in its second weekend, taking its 10-day India net collection to approximately 124.50 crore. The outstanding weekend performance underscores the film's strong word-of-mouth, as it recorded healthy growth on both Saturday and Sunday after a steady second Friday. With this, Dhamaal 4 has comfortably crossed the 100 crore milestone and remains one of the strongest performers in theatres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has also continued its decent run overseas, taking its worldwide gross collection to around 170 crore in just ten days. The comedy franchise has once again struck a chord with audiences, translating its popularity into impressive global box office numbers. The film has already emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi comedy films of the year. From now on, Dhamaal 4 is well on track to achieve another major milestone. If it maintains a steady hold during the weekdays, the Ajay Devgn-starrer is expected to cross the 200 crore worldwide gross mark by the next weekend. With no immediate threat to its target audience, the film is poised to continue its successful run at the box office.

Mumbai, July 16 - The first week of December 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest box office battlegrounds in recent memory. Three major Hindi and pan-India releases are set to arrive within two days of each other, setting the stage for an intense clash before Hollywood giants Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three, and Shah Rukh Khan's King dominate cinemas later in the month. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Prabhas' much-awaited period action drama Fauzi has officially locked December 3, 2026, as its theatrical release date. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the film has generated significant buzz ever since its announcement and is expected to be one of the biggest pan-India releases of the year. With Prabhas returning in a larger-than-life role, the film is expected to command a massive release across multiple languages. Just a day later, on December 4, Ajay Devgn's much-awaited Ranger is scheduled to hit theatres. Sharing the same release date is Akshay Kumar's untitled collaboration with director Anees Bazmee, setting up a direct three-way contest among some of Indian cinema's biggest stars. While all three films cater to different audiences, they will inevitably compete for premium screens, show timings, and opening weekend collections. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The timing makes the clash even more significant. The three Indian releases will have barely two weeks to maximise their theatrical business before Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three, along with King, arrive later in December, films that are expected to occupy a substantial share of IMAX and premium large-format screens worldwide. As a result, the opening weekend and first fortnight will be crucial for Fauzi, Ranger, and Akshay Kumar's upcoming entertainer. With Prabhas, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar all eyeing the lucrative year-end holiday season, the first week of December 2026 is set to become one of the most closely watched box office clashes in recent years. Whether all three films stick to their announced dates or one eventually opts to avoid the crowded window remains to be seen, but as of now, audiences are in for a blockbuster showdown.

Dhamaal 4 arrives as the latest installment in a comedy franchise that has historically relied on loud, slapstick humor to draw crowds. The film reunites the familiar ensemble of Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Javed Jaffrey, aiming to capitalize on the nostalgia of the earlier hits. However, the pre-release momentum was notably lukewarm; when the trailer first dropped, it failed to ignite the kind of massive social media conversation or high-octane buzz usually expected from a big-budget sequel. Instead of a wave of excitement, the initial reaction was quite measured, leaving the film to rely heavily on its theatrical performance to prove its worth. Now, six days into its run, the film is performing well at the box office, managing to find its footing and draw in consistent numbers. By the end of its sixth day, Dhamaal 4 has reached a worldwide gross of ₹124.66 Cr, a figure that highlights its steady performance across markets. This total is built on a solid domestic foundation, with India gross collections standing at ₹107.41 Cr. In the international circuit, the film has brought in a total gross of ₹17.25 Cr. When focusing on the core domestic earnings, the movie has officially secured a net collection of ₹90 Cr in India so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking specifically at the Day 6 performance, which fell on a Wednesday, the film collected a net of ₹6.75 Cr. When we compare this to Tuesday's net collection of ₹9.50 Cr, we see a drop of 28.9 percent. This decline is quite standard for a comedy film during the middle of its first week, as the initial weekend rush settles into a steady weekday pace. To achieve this Day 6 figure, the movie played across 11,137 shows, contributing to a massive cumulative total of 65,916 shows since its release. On the international front, early estimates suggest the film added another ₹1.25 Cr (approximately 149 thousand dollars) on its sixth day. According to Venky Box Office, the film earned 139 thousand dollars (roughly ₹1.16 Cr) on Tuesday alone. This brings its total North American gross to 714 thousand dollars (approximately ₹5.98 Cr). These numbers indicate a decent pull among the diaspora, even on working days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ticketing trends on BookMyShow further highlight the film's reach. On Tuesday, the platform recorded 133.65K tickets booked, while Wednesday saw 100.96K bookings. In total, the film has seen over 16,12,090 tickets sold through this platform alone. These figures reflect a healthy interest, though there is a visible downward trend as the week progresses. Looking at the performance across major national chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—we get a clearer picture of how the movie is trending through advance bookings. For its sixth day, these chains collectively sold around 5,300 tickets, resulting in a total gross of approximately ₹14.3 Lakhs. This was achieved across nearly 3,490 shows, reflecting a modest advance occupancy of about 0.9 percent. When we break these numbers down, INOX led the way with roughly 2,900 tickets sold, bringing in nearly ₹7.2 Lakhs from about 1,280 shows, which translates to a 1.0 percent occupancy rate. PVR followed with roughly 2,400 tickets, generating about ₹7.1 Lakhs from a slightly higher show count of around 1,540, resulting in an occupancy of approximately 0.8 percent. Interestingly, Cinepolis, which scheduled around 670 shows across nearly 80 venues, saw no activity in advance ticket sales for this period. These figures highlight that the film is currently relying more on spontaneous spot bookings and walk-in audiences rather than pre-planned ticket purchases, which is quite common for comedy sequels during the work week as they aim to maintain their screen count heading into the second weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When we break down the occupancy for Day 6, the overall average across India stood at 14.12 percent. The interest level grew steadily throughout the day, starting with a 6.92 percent occupancy in the morning shows. This jumped to 13.62 percent in the afternoon and 15.31 percent in the evening with the night shows peaking at 19.00 percent occupancy. Regional performance also tells an interesting story. The National Capital Region (NCR) led with 1,025 shows and an overall occupancy of 14.5 percent. Mumbai followed closely with 856 shows and 14.0 percent occupancy. Ahmedabad showed a strong preference for the film with 623 shows and a 15.5 percent occupancy rate, while Pune and Bengaluru saw 12.3 percent and 13.3 percent occupancy respectively. Surat recorded a lower engagement at 7.3 percent across its 381 shows.
