Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 has begun its theatrical journey on a strong note. The latest instalment in one of Bollywood's most popular comedy franchises recorded an impressive opening at the box office, drawing audiences to cinemas from its very first day. Backed by favourable early reviews from both critics and moviegoers, the film has also outperformed the opening-day collections of 29 releases this year.
After generating considerable buzz ahead of its release, Dhamaal 4 has delivered a promising start at the ticket counters.
According to industry tracker, Sacnilk, the film earned an estimated Rs 13.75 crore on its first day in theatres.
These are preliminary figures, and the final collection may see slight changes once the official numbers are released.
With an estimated Rs 13.75 crore opening, Dhamaal 4 has gone past the Day 1 collections of 29 films released this year. It has overtaken titles ranging from Raja Shivaji (Rs 12.4 crore) to Alpha (Rs 9.25 crore), securing its place as the sixth biggest opening of the year.
The films whose opening-day collections have been surpassed by Dhamaal 4 include:
