Dhamaal 4 Finally Gets Its Release Date
The long-awaited comedy sequel Dhamaal 4 now has an official theatrical release date. The makers made the announcement on Saturday, January 17, 2026, ending weeks of speculation about the film's launch window.
Original Cast Returns for the Madness
The fourth installment in the popular franchise will bring back familiar faces. Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Sanjay Mishra are all set to return for another round of chaotic humor. The announcement came through a creative poster designed like a newspaper front page titled 'Dhamaal Times'.
The poster featured a catchy tagline that read, "Ab Dhamaal bola hai toh karna hi padega". This translates to "Now that we have promised the fun, we have to deliver it." The playful message set the tone for what fans can expect from the upcoming film.
Strategic Release Window Chosen
Producer T-Series shared the promotional material first. They captioned their post with another humorous line: "Jaldi bata rahein hain, phir Dhamaal machane bhi toh jaana hai." This means "We are telling you early, because we also have to go and create the madness."
The film was originally scheduled for March 19, 2026. That date would have placed it against two major projects:
- Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar: Part 2'
- Yash's 'Toxic'
The production team decided to avoid this crowded box office period. They moved the release to secure a better window for maximum audience attention.
Summer Release Positioned for Success
Dhamaal 4 will now open on June 12, 2026. This places it one week after Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan's 'Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai', which releases on June 5. The strategic move gives the comedy a clear runway during the summer season.
Director Indra Kumar returns to helm the project. He aims to recapture the easy, chaotic humor that made the original 'Dhamaal' so beloved. The first film still holds a special place for many Hindi cinema fans and remains one of the most rewatched titles in the franchise.
Franchise Context and Cast Updates
The Dhamaal series has seen varying responses over the years:
- The original 'Dhamaal' became an instant classic
- 'Double Dhamaal' did not connect as strongly with audiences
- 'Total Dhamaal' earned a warmer reception but still trailed the first film's popularity
Ashish Chaudhary, who played Boman in the first two films, is unlikely to return. His key scenes featured veteran actor Asrani, who has since passed away. Reports suggest Sanjay Dutt might make a comeback, and R. Madhavan could also appear, though details remain unconfirmed.
Fans looking to revisit the earlier films can currently stream 'Total Dhamaal' and 'Double Dhamaal' on JioHotstar and Lionsgate Play through OTTplay Premium.
The announcement puts all speculation to rest and positions Dhamaal 4 as a major summer entertainment option for 2026. With the original cast returning and a strategic release date secured, the stage is set for another round of madcap comedy.
