The critics may have panned multi-starrer movie Total Dhamaal but the film is going too well with the audience. When the movie got released, in its very first week, Ajay Devgn’s movie had done exceptional business at the box office. Within 5 days of its release, the movie has earned Rs 81 crore.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh post on Twitter, “#TotalDhamaal shows a solid hold on weekdays… Emerges a big favourite in mass circuits/single screens… Set for a healthy, successful run in those circuits… Fri 16.50 cr, Sat 20.40 cr, Sun 25.50 cr, Mon 9.85 cr, Tue 8.75 cr. Total: ₹ 81 cr. India biz.”

Taran Adarsh has also estimated that the film will perhaps cross Rs 92 crore in its first week and cross the 100 crore mark during its second weekend. Dhamaal is already a hit franchise and fans loved the latest part also. This movie also stars Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Javed Jaffrey and Sanjay Mishra among others. Having the same storyline, this film has worked more on VFX this time.

Giving one and a half star to Total Dhamaal, the Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta had mentioned in her review, “Brainless comedies can be a lot of fun (brain, stop smirking), but they need to be written with smarts. Here, the CGI animals (the climactic chunk of the film is set in a zoo) have more effect than the humans. A rhino’s horn becomes a pointed spear for falling backsides. A chimp and an elephant are used to give us lessons on kindness. And a roaring tiger becomes the emblem of Gujju pride, with a character saying: a Gandhi chased the Brits away, and the one we have now will conquer all. Clap clap. Pandering to the powers that be? Oh, fully.”

Luka Chuppi and Sonchiriya which are going to release on March 1, 2019, will be the competition to this ensemble star cast movie.
