Dhamaal 4 is holding well at the box office. As per estimates, the comedy drama collected Rs. 8.25 to Rs. 8.50 crore on its first Monday, registering a 40 per cent drop from the opening day. The Ajay Devgn starrer took its 4-day theatrical run to Rs. 73 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Backed by T-Series Films, the movie hasn’t opted for a discounted Tuesday release, which shows confidence. However, a lot will depend on its Wednesday hold. Welcome to the Jungle dropped to Rs. 6 crore from Rs. 8.25 crore nett on Monday. If Dhamaal 4 manages to stay over Rs. 7 crore nett, that would seal the deal for a Clean Hit run.
The reason why Welcome to the Jungle dropped was probably that Monday business was a bit elevated by the summer breaks in North India, where most of the schools resume sessions on Wednesday, i.e., July 1st. Right now, there are some states still having summer/monsoon breaks, but it’s a lot lower than what it was in June. As such, theoretically, the drop for Dhamaal on Wednesday should be softer as Dhamaal 4’s real value on Monday would be higher.
Furthermore, Dhamaal 4 has a practically three-week open run, so the film can actually afford some drop as well, because Friday is likely to hold way stronger in the absence of competition compared to Welcome. Wednesday drop did hurt Welcome to the Jungle, but it was ultimately the drop on Friday, which was the real killer.
