Dhamaal 4 Box Office: Scores an EXCELLENT weekend, all set for DOUBLE DIGIT Monday

Almost four months after *Dhurandhar The Revenge*, Bollywood has had its biggest weekend at the box office.People didn't really expect a huge amount for the comedy franchise before it came out, and that was just underestimating the power of this hit series.*Dhamaal* was a good earner, *Double Dhamaal* was a hit, *Total Dhamaal* was even bigger and had a lot of famous stars, including Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit.Now, with Ajay Devgn regularly joining the team in the third and fourth movies, the numbers have become the best so far.

The film made around Rs.64.35 crores in its opening weekend, which is a great number even if we think about before the pandemic.It started well, then the numbers grew a lot on Saturday, and then it peaked on Sunday with Rs.28.15 crores, which is the highest single day total for any film in 2026 after *Dhurandhar The Revenge* and *Border 2*.It's going really well in the mass markets, and when single screens get involved in something this big, anything can happen.

It's no surprise that the film is now ready to make another double-digit number today, and it will likely rise even more tomorrow due to the Blockbuster Tuesday offer.

The Rs.100 crore mark is expected this week, and there's potential for it to cross Rs.150 crore in its lifetime.The multi-star film has already confirmed its hit status, and now the question is just how big it will become in its final run.

Arshad Warsi earns nearly Rs. 4 crores profit as he sells Mumbai commercial property for Rs. 6.25 crores: Report

 Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi has made a big profit from selling a commercial property in Mumbai's popular Lokhandwala Complex.According to documents from a real estate data company called Liases Foras, the actor sold the unit for Rs.6.25 crores.This means he made an estimated profit of almost Rs.4 crores compared to the price he originally paid for the property.

The property is located in the Lokhandwala area of Andheri West and has a carpet area of 63.87 square metres, which is about 684 square feet.

It was bought by Umang Rajkumar Budhraja for Rs.6.25 crores.The sale was officially recorded with the Maharashtra Inspector General of Registration on July 1, 2026.

The documents also show that the buyer paid Rs.37.50 lakhs in stamp duty to complete the purchase.Based on the transaction value and the size of the property, the price per square foot comes out to roughly Rs.91,400.This highlights how expensive commercial real estate is in one of Mumbai's top business and residential areas.

According to the firm's documents, Arshad Warsi originally bought the same shop in February 2012 for just over Rs.2.12 crores.At that time, he paid more than Rs.10 lakhs in stamp duty and Rs.30,000 for registration. With the recent sale, the value of the property has gone up a lot in the past 14 years, giving Arshad a big return on his investment.

In recent months, Mumbai's commercial real estate market has seen many high-value deals involving celebrities. Areas like Andheri West continue to attract a lot of attention from investors and business owners.

On his professional side, Arshad Warsi has some exciting projects coming up.He was recently seen in the comedy films Welcome To The Jungle and Dhamaal 4, where he once again proved why his work in the comedy genre has been so successful over the years.

Maatrubhumi may shift to 2027; Salman Khan expected to have 2 releases next year

 If everything had worked out, Salman Khan's much-anticipated movie, Maatrubhumi, would have been in theaters by now.The film was originally called Battle Of Galwan but was later renamed to Maatrubhumi earlier this year.It's based on the 2020 conflict between India and China.Since the relationship between the two countries has improved recently, the Ministry of Defence had some concerns about the film's content and how China is portrayed, which caused the delay.A trade source told Bollywood Hungama that while the makers are trying hard to release Maatrubhumi this year, there's a chance it might be delayed until 2027.

The source said, "The problems are not yet solved.

Even if they are resolved quickly, it might be hard to get a good release date, as most big dates are already taken.In our industry, it's common for actors and filmmakers to take over a date that's already booked by another film.But Salman Khan is different. He is fair and doesn't want to clash with another film unnecessarily. Even if he decides to clash, he will talk to the other party first."

An insider suggested that the Dussehra period might be a good time for Maatrubhumi to come out.

They said, "Dussehra is on Tuesday, October 20, this year.The day before Dussehra is usually a big holiday, and collections go up.So Maatrubhumi could benefit from a long weekend. Ramayana is expected to be moved to October 30.After that, there are no major releases until late November, which could also help Maatrubhumi."

So far, Rajkummar Rao's Raftaar is planned for October 16.

Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh's Gunmaaster G9 is also expected on the same day, though the producers haven't officially announced it yet.

The source added, "If the problems aren't resolved soon, Maatrubhumi might be delayed until next year.

That would mean Salman Khan could have two movies in 2027.He's currently shooting an untitled film with Nayanthara, which is also expected to come out next year."

Box Office Estimate: Dhamaal 4 takes a good opening; Ajay Devgn starrer headed to collect Rs 14.5 crores on Day 1

Ajay Devgn's comedy series, Dhamaal 4, has started well at the box office in India.Early reports suggest that the movie, directed by Indra Kumar, is expected to earn between Rs.12.50 crore and Rs.13.50 crore on its first day, which is higher than what the early ticket bookings indicated.

The film has made around Rs.6.50 crore from national multiplex chains, which make up half of the total earnings.The performance looks positive for the comedy genre, and the movie is expected to see a good increase in earnings over the weekend.Dhamaal 4 is aiming to reach Rs.50 crore in the first three days of its opening weekend, and the real test will be on Monday.

With Bhooth Bangla, Welcome To The Jungle, and now Dhamaal 4, comedies are making a comeback.

The old-school charm of the genre is drawing audiences back to the theaters.Two senior actors, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar, are leading the revival of these classic comedy styles even today.

Dhamaal 4 has a good start for the next month, and if it holds up well on Monday, it should become a successful film.

The ticket sales for Saturday and Sunday are strong, which is always a good sign for a comedy movie.

Alpha Box Office: Has an ordinary first week, aims for Rs. 60 crores lifetime

It has turned out to be an average first week for Alpha, with total earnings of Rs.45.71 crores.The film made Rs.33.48 crores over the weekend, and the entire first week is now just about Rs.12 crores more than that.This shows how badly the collections have dropped.A drop of around 60% in just four days compared to the first three days is a clear sign that the film has been completely ignored by the audience.

The issue seems to be more about the film's content than any negative reaction.

This Alia Bhatt and Sharvari starrer did manage to start off reasonably well.Yes, without the competition from War 2, this could have been the biggest opening ever for a female-led film.Even with that competition, there was some momentum over the weekend.But the film started to lose its grip on Monday, and from then on, it just kept getting worse, even missing out on the usual boost from Blockbuster Tuesday.

Today, Dhamaal 4 has released, and that film is the top choice for the audience.

Even if Alpha had had a stable first week, it would still have been affected by Dhamaal 4.And now, we're talking about a film that's been completely rejected, which means it has very little chance of recovering.Thursday's collections dropped to Rs.2.54 crores, and today the film can at best manage Rs.1.50-1.75 crore.That's a massive drop from the first day's Rs.9.12 crores.

Currently at Rs.45.71 crores, the best-case lifetime for this spy-themed film is now Rs.60 crores, which means it's a major box office failure.

Rajpal Yadav sentenced to three months in jail in cheque bounce case; Delhi HC cites repeated defaults

The Delhi High Court on Friday sentenced actor Rajpal Yadav to three months of simple imprisonment in a cheque bounce case because he repeatedly failed to keep his promises made to the court.Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma delivered the verdict in a group of seven cases filed by M/s Murli Projects Private Limited.While Yadav was given three months' jail time in each case, the court said all the sentences would be served at the same time.

Along with the jail term, the High Court ordered the actor to pay Rs 1.05 crore in each of the seven cases.

His wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, was also asked to pay more than Rs 5 lakh in each case.

During the case, the court said that Yadav had been given many chances to resolve the dispute and clear the unpaid money but he didn't follow through on the promises he made.

Justice Sharma explained, "Opportunities were provided to follow the settlement.He and his lawyer made several statements and promises, yet he still didn't honor the commitments."

The judge also gave Yadav two months to challenge the decision in a higher court.

The legal issue has been going on for over two years.

In May 2024, a sessions court had found Yadav guilty in a cheque bounce case and sentenced him to six months in jail.

The Delhi High Court later paused that sentence after Yadav's legal team promised that the issue would be settled peacefully.

The case was then referred to the Delhi High Court Mediation Centre to try to find a solution.

However, despite several delays and repeated promises, the settlement didn't happen.

The High Court noted that Yadav didn't pay several amounts he had agreed to, including Rs 2.5 crore, for which he had asked for permission to make payments in installments.

In February 2026, the High Court told Yadav to surrender to jail authorities because he hadn't followed the court's earlier orders.

His request for more time to surrender was also denied.

Yadav finally surrendered on February 5 and was kept in custody until he deposited Rs 1.5 crore with the complainant and was given temporary relief from the sentence.

Sunny Deol BREAKS silence on being credited as ‘Dharmendra’s son’ in Ikka: “Wherever I go, that’s what people say, ‘Dharmendra ka beta hai’”

Sunny Deol made a surprise appearance at the end of the media screening of the film Ikka, which was held at a preview theater in Mumbai.He briefly spoke with the journalists about the movie and a lot more.

Ananya Panday was also mentioned.

Ikka features Sunny in the role of a feisty lawyer, which reminded people of his earlier film Damini (1993).

Sunny said, "I hadn't had a chance to do a character like this for a long time.Finally, I got the opportunity when Netflix offered me the film."

When talking about his co-star Akshaye Khanna, Sunny said, "We worked together in Border (1997) and he's a great guy.

Since then, we have a great rapport.Also, he is Vinod ji's son.So the bonding is even stronger."

Sunny is known for his action scenes, but Ikka doesn't have any of those.

He said, "There's no fighting in this film.It depends on the character.He's a sophisticated, family man who's forced to take action."

Sunny was seen with a clean-shaven look, and the journalists wondered if it was for a film.

Sunny didn't comment but said, "These days, looks are more important than acting.(Laughs) Acting has gone out of the window."

A journalist expressed hope that Ikka 2 would be made.

Sunny smiled and said, "Let's keep our fingers crossed.If people like it, there's definitely a chance for it.Until the film works, I don't think about that.(Laughs)"

Ikka won't have a theatrical release, but it will reach people all over the world.

Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh joked, "Half a kilo of hands will go all over the world!"

Finally, Sunny talked about being credited as "Dharmendra's son" in the film.

The same credit had also appeared in Border 2 (2026), which was released earlier this year.Sunny explained, "Wherever I go, people say, 'Dharmendra ka beta hai.'"

Will he be credited the same way in future films?

The star answered, "Yes," and added, "That's who I am.I'm my father's son.What else is there?If we do a good job, I'm sure my father would be proud, thinking, 'My son has done something good.'"
