Ajay Devgn has carved out a unique space for himself where he effortlessly balances high-octane action with mass-market comedy. While he is often associated with the intense Singham persona, his track record in the comedy genre is arguably just as impressive. With Dhamaal 4 arriving in cinemas today, July 10, 2026, all eyes are on the box office to see if this new installment can break into the list of his all-time biggest comedy openers. Top 5 Comedy Openers of Ajay Devgn - India Net CollectionMOVIE NAMEDAY 1 NET COLLECTIONRELEASE YEARGolmaal Again₹ 30.14 Cr2017Total Dhamaal₹ 16.50 Cr2019Bol Bachchan₹ 12.10 Cr2012Golmaal 3₹ 8.10 Cr2010Double Dhamaal₹ 7.60 Cr2011 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the top of the pyramid sits Golmaal Again, which remains a landmark film in the genre. Its opening of 30.14 crore in 2017 is particularly historic because it came during a massive Diwali clash against Secret Superstar. Despite the competition, the Rohit Shetty-Ajay Devgn brand ensured maximum theatre occupancy, making it the highest opening day ever for a Bollywood comedy at the time. It eventually finished as one of the career-best performers for Devgn, proving that family audiences would turn up in droves for the right brand of humor. Total Dhamaal holds the second spot with a 16.50 crore opening in 2019. What makes this number special is that it was achieved on a standard, non-holiday Friday. Most big openers rely on festival windows, but this film relied purely on mass-market dominance, especially in circuits like Gujarat and Central India. It also famously reunited the hit pair of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit after seventeen years, adding a layer of nostalgia that helped it kick off a double-blockbuster year for the actor. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the 2012 release Bol Bachchan, its 12.10 crore start was a significant milestone because double-digit openings were relatively rare back then for comedy films. It was also a breakthrough film for Devgn in overseas markets, particularly in the UAE and North America, where it collected 2.05 million dollars in its first weekend. It remains one of the fastest comedies of that era to cross the 100 crore net mark, finishing its domestic run at an exact 103.12 crore. Golmaal 3, which released in 2010, remains one of the most significant milestones in the history of Indian comedy. It shattered long-standing records by becoming the first-ever film in a Bollywood comedy franchise to enter the prestigious 100 crore net club. Backed by a lean production budget of 40 crore, the film performed exceptionally well not just in India but also in international markets, securing over 18 crore in overseas collections. It eventually finished with a massive 162.30 crore worldwide gross, earning an undisputed Blockbuster verdict and setting the stage for the even larger sequels that followed. Following closely in 2011 was Double Dhamaal, which recorded a solid 7.60 crore on its opening day. This film was a massive win in terms of profitability, achieving complete recovery and earning a Hit verdict with an India lifetime net of 44.10 crore. It was a true heavyweight in the mass market, deriving more than 65% of its total theatrical footfalls from single-screen theatres and B-centers across North and Central India. This performance established the Dhamaal brand as a family-favorite commercial draw, eventually closing its global run with a 71 crore worldwide gross. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) So, where does Dhamaal 4 stand in this elite company? Current tracking and advance booking data suggest that the film is heading for a very strong start. With a net advance of 2.57 crore and steady morning occupancy of around 8.38 percent, trade experts are projecting an opening day in the range of 10 to 14.5 crore net. If the film touches the upper end of these estimates, it will comfortably overtake Bol Bachchan to secure the third spot on this list, trailing only behind the massive holiday records of Golmaal Again and Total Dhamaal. Even a mid-range performance will see it easily surpassing the initial day figures of Golmaal 3 and Double Dhamaal, solidifying the Dhamaal brand's enduring pull at the box office. The momentum for Dhamaal 4 is being driven by strong ticket sales on BookMyShow, which saw over 33,000 tickets sold in the morning hours alone. While it may not challenge the massive holiday record of Golmaal Again, entering the top three would be a significant achievement for the franchise. It would further solidify Ajay Devgn's position as a consistent star in the comedy space, showing that his brand of entertainment continues to resonate with both multiplex and single-screen audiences.

The Golmaal franchise has been a cornerstone of Indian comedy for nearly two decades. Since its debut in 2006, Rohit Shetty has managed to turn this ensemble caper into one of the most successful film series in the country. As the team works on the fifth installment, officially titled Golmaal FIVE, new details are emerging about the cast and characters that indicate a shift from the typical formula of the series. According to an exclusive report by Variety India, the National Award-winning actress Priyamani has joined the cast in a significant role. Interestingly, she is set to portray a negative character, which is a departure from the usual casting choices in this franchise. Priyamani is no stranger to working with this team; she previously collaborated with Rohit Shetty on the popular dance number 1 2 3 4 Get on the Dance Floor in Chennai Express and shared the screen with Ajay Devgn in the biographical sports drama Maidaan. Seeing her in a villainous arc within a comic setting will be an interesting addition to the film's entertainment quotient. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The production, which officially went on floors in February 2026, has already made headlines for its massive casting choices. The biggest surprise was the addition of Akshay Kumar, marking a major casting coup for the franchise. Trade buzz suggests that Akshay might also be taking on a negative comedic role, adding a fresh layer of conflict to the story. Alongside him, the original gang is back in full force, featuring Ajay Devgn as Gopal, Arshad Warsi as Madhav, Tusshar Kapoor as Lucky, Shreyas Talpade as Laxman, and Kunal Kemmu as the second Laxman. Notably, Sharman Joshi is making a return to the franchise for the first time since the original 2006 film. Beyond the primary cast, franchise favorites like Johny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, and Ashwini Kalsekar are all confirmed to return. However, there is a notable twist in the storytelling this time. Reports suggest that Golmaal FIVE will move away from traditional romantic subplots. There will reportedly be no primary heroine or romantic track for Ajay Devgn's character, shifting the entire focus toward the ensemble group madness and the chaotic dynamics between the characters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking back at the box office history of this franchise, the trajectory has been one of steady growth. The journey began with Golmaal: Fun Unlimited in 2006, which earned approximately 47 crore worldwide and was a Superhit. Its sequel, Golmaal Returns in 2008, saw an increase in collections, grossing about 82 crore globally. The franchise hit a new peak with Golmaal 3 in 2010, which became a Blockbuster with a worldwide gross of 162 crore. The most recent entry, Golmaal Again in 2017, remains the highest earner of the series, grossing roughly 309 crore worldwide. With a combined total of over 600 crore from four films, the expectations for the fifth part are naturally quite high. The makers are currently aiming for a massive theatrical release in early 2027. This timing is intentional, as it will mark the 20th anniversary of the franchise that started it all. With the inclusion of stars like Akshay Kumar and Priyamani alongside the veteran cast, Rohit Shetty seems to be scaling up the production to ensure the milestone year is met with a significant commercial impact.

Mumbai, May 16 - The makers of the upcoming comedy entertainer Golmaal 5 have reportedly addressed the ongoing rumours surrounding Akshay Kumar and his reported remuneration for the film. Over the last few days, multiple reports claimed that Akshay was being paid a massive 35-40 crore fee for a short shooting schedule in the upcoming comedy entertainer. However, the production house, Rohit Shetty Picturez, has now dismissed all such reports as baseless and purely speculative. In an official statement (via Bollywood Hungama), the spokesperson clarified that the commercial details of the film are confidential and that the numbers being circulated online are not true.

Mumbai, April 25 - In the post-pandemic era, Akshay Kumar has arguably been the most prolific among the top stars, consistently delivering multiple releases year after year and keeping the release flow going amid the shortage of top stars' films. However, despite this remarkable consistency, one key element was missing during this phase — sustained box office success. In 2021, his long-pending cop drama Sooryavanshi emerged as a major hit despite the clouds of COVID still hovering, and played a crucial role in reviving the theatrical business after the pandemic. Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film emerged as the biggest Bollywood grosser of the year with the worldwide collection of around 300 crore, still the highest for Akshay Kumar in the post-COVID era. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Extended Lean Phase (2022 – Mid 2023) Following Sooryavanshi, when the trade was expecting the momentum of Sooryavanshi to expand, the actor went through a prolonged dry spell. During this period, Akshay had five releases which underperformed, either ending up as a flop or below average. Despite experimenting with different genres, the lack of strong box office returns made this one of the most challenging phases of his career. This dry phase ended with social comedy drama Oh My God - OMG 2 (August 2023), which emerged as a box office hit. The release of OMG 2 brought much-needed relief for the actor as the film performed well and ended Akshay's losing streak by grossing over 200 crores worldwide. However, this success turned out to be short-lived, as consistency still remained elusive. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After OMG 2, Akshay Kumar faced another phase of box office struggles. While not as prolonged as the earlier slump, it indicated that a full-fledged comeback was still some distance away, as four films were released during this phase that failed to deliver box office results the actor was hoping for. Comeback Phase Begins – Sky Force (January 2025) After a string of underwhelming box office results, the turning point for Akshay came with Sky Force, which marked the beginning of a steady recovery. Though not a clean hit, the film's performance signalled improving audience acceptance and hinted at a shift in Akshay's choices towards more grounded films with mass appeal. Sky Force, despite being in the news for various reasons, grossed around 150 crores and escaped a flop verdict. After this film, the Khiladi Kumar released Kesari Chapter 2, Housefull 5, and Jolly LLB 3, all crossing the 100 crore mark, with HF5 finishing near Sooryavanshi numbers.

This phase suggests that Akshay Kumar is gradually reclaiming his position as a reliable box-office draw, a role he was known for before the pandemic. What Is Next For Akshay Kumar? Akshay is expected to carry this winning momentum into the next phase of his career. With franchise films like Welcome to the Jungle, Golmaal 5, and Bhagam Bhag 2 in the making, along with Priyadarshan's thriller Haiwaan, the actor is probably in the best phase ever since he came out of the lean period.

The makers are set to break a long-standing tradition in this blockbuster comedy franchise with Golmaal 5. As per a report by Variety India, the upcoming instalment will feature Ajay Devgn without any romantic angle, marking the first time in the series that the lead character won't be paired with a female lead.
