Dhamaal 4 Trailer: Ajay Devgn Rides a Dolphin and the Gang Is Gloriously Back
Dhamaal 4 trailer is out — Ajay Devgn joins Riteish, Arshad, and Javed for a wild treasure hunt. Full cast, release date, and what to expect inside.
Treasure hunts, jungle chaos, ocean depths, and four grown men making terrible decisions together — the Dhamaal franchise has never pretended to be anything other than exactly this. The Dhamaal 4 trailer dropped this week, and if you were worried the series had lost its nerve, relax. It hasn’t.
Ajay Devgn is in the mix this time, and the old crew is back too. Director Indra Kumar clearly decided not to fix what was never broken.
What Happens in the Dhamaal 4 Trailer?
The trailer runs with one central premise: a treasure hunt that goes spectacularly wrong at every turn. Ajay Devgn and his friends find themselves chasing the same prize, crossing paths in locations that get increasingly absurd — underwater, deep in a jungle, clinging to a mountainside.
The standout moment? Ajay Devgn’s character riding a dolphin. Not metaphorically. An actual dolphin. It’s the kind of image that tells you everything you need to know about what kind of film this is going to be.
There’s also a love story threaded through the chaos, though the trailer makes clear that romance is very much the B-plot here. The comedy is the headline.
The Dhamaal 4 Cast: Old Faces and a Big New Addition
Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Javed Jafri are all back — the three of them together are essentially the franchise’s engine, and the trailer wastes no time reminding audiences why that combination works.
Ajay Devgn is the significant new entry. He doesn’t slot into the group as a sidekick — from what the trailer shows, his character arrives with his own agenda and ends up tangled in the same mess as everyone else. It’s a smart way to add a new lead without sidelining the original trio.
The full cast also includes Ravi Kishan, Esha Gupta, and Anjali Anand, alongside several others. It’s one of those ensembles where the sheer number of recognizable faces becomes part of the joke.
Indra Kumar Directs Dhamaal 4 — What His Track Record Tells Us
Indra Kumar has directed all the Dhamaal films. That consistency matters more than it might seem. These aren’t films that depend on intricate plotting — they depend on timing, on knowing when to let a joke breathe, on trusting the cast to find the funny in a moment. Kumar has done that across three films already.
The Dhamaal franchise began in 2007, followed by Double Dhamaal in 2011 and Total Dhamaal in 2019. Total Dhamaal collected over ₹150 crore at the domestic box office despite mixed reviews — proof that the audience for this kind of broad, unapologetically silly comedy is real and loyal.
Dhamaal 4 is the next step in that line, now with a wider cast and presumably a bigger budget to match.
Locations, Action, and What Makes This One Different
One thing the Dhamaal 4 trailer does that its predecessors didn’t quite manage — it looks genuinely expensive. The underwater sequences, the aerial shots over a forest canopy, the mountain locations — this isn’t the kind of thing you fake on a tight schedule.
Whether the production value translates into a better film is a separate question. But as a trailer, it sells spectacle. The action isn’t incidental here; it’s baked into the comedy. People fall off things. People get chased by things. Ajay Devgn rides a dolphin.
The locations alone will bring people to theatres. The cast will keep them there.
Dhamaal 4 Release Date: When Does It Hit Cinemas?
Dhamaal 4 releases in cinemas on July 10, 2026.
No OTT release window has been announced. Given the franchise’s track record and the scale of this production, a full theatrical run makes sense. This is the kind of film that works better with an audience.
Why the Dhamaal Franchise Still Has an Audience in 2026
Here’s a straightforward answer to a question people keep asking: comedy ensemble films in Bollywood have had a rough decade. Most of them either tried too hard to be edgy or too hard to be wholesome. The Dhamaal films never had that problem because they never tried to be anything other than loud, physical, and silly.
That’s not a small thing. There’s a whole audience in India — and not just in multiplexes — that wants to sit in a dark room and laugh without being asked to think too hard. Dhamaal serves that audience without condescension.
Adding Ajay Devgn — who has built a second career out of comedies like Golmaal and Total Dhamaal — gives the film a crossover pull that Total Dhamaal didn’t fully have.
Conclusion
The Dhamaal 4 trailer doesn’t try to convince you it’s something profound. There’s a man riding a dolphin. There’s a treasure nobody should logically be chasing. There are four actors who have made this specific kind of chaos their brand. July 10 is the date.
One thing this franchise has always been good at: the trailer gives you the jokes that look funny out of context. The ones that actually land in the theatre are still being kept. That’s the deal.
