Dhamaal 4 Trailer Out: Ajay Devgn and the Gang Are Back, and This Time the Gold Mountain is Real
A treasure hunt. A pirate ship. A man riding two dolphins who immediately regrets it. Dhamaal 4 is not here to reinvent cinema. It is here to remind you why you fell in love with the beautiful, brain-off, laughter-first chaos that only this franchise knows how to deliver.
The trailer dropped. The internet lost its mind. July 10 cannot come fast enough.
When the Gang Rings a Doorbell and Gets Electrocuted, You Know You Are Home
The Dhamaal 4 trailer wastes exactly zero seconds on sentiment. Arshad Warsi and Ajay Devgn arrive at a spooky house, ring the doorbell, and immediately get an electric shock. That is the opening. That is the promise. That is the entire philosophy of this franchise compressed into eight seconds of beautiful stupidity.
What follows is three minutes and thirty-seven seconds of the most gleefully unhinged adventure Bollywood has assembled in years. The gang forms a human chain to interrogate Upendra Limaye’s character, who is dangling from a tree branch over a valley. He falls before the location of the treasure is revealed. And just like that, the mad search begins.
From that moment, Dhamaal 4 never slows down. Nor should it.

A Mountain of Gold, A Mountain of Trouble
The franchise has always run on a simple, genius engine: ordinary, not particularly clever men chasing extraordinary amounts of money while the universe throws everything it has at them. Dhamaal 4 keeps that engine running, but the fuel tank is bigger this time.
At the centre of the story is a mountain of gold. Surrounding that mountain is every obstacle the natural world and sheer human incompetence can manufacture. The gang sails a pirate ship through a sea storm. They fight crocodiles. They navigate a jungle, a riverside, a cliff face, and somewhere in all of that, Ravi Kishan channels his full inner Jack Sparrow as the ship’s captain, which is a sentence that should have been written years ago.
The settings shift from the sea to the jungle to a dramatic mountain cliff filmed at Malshej Ghat in Maharashtra, and every location brings its own brand of chaos. This is not a film that sits still. It sprints, stumbles, falls off things, and gets back up laughing.

The Cast That Makes the Chaos Feel Like Home
There is a particular alchemy to ensemble comedy that looks effortless and is anything but. The Dhamaal franchise has always understood that the laughs do not come from jokes alone. They come from the specific, irreplaceable energy that happens when these people are in a room together, panicking.

Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaaferi and Sanjay Mishra are all back, and the years have done nothing to dull the rhythm between them. Jaaved Jaaferi’s signature recurring moment lands again with perfect timing, his bewildered “I do not know how I end up at the front in such situations” delivered with the same wounded confusion that has made audiences roar across three films. Some traditions exist for a reason.
Esha Gupta joins the chaos opposite Ajay Devgn, playing a mother of two, while Anjali Anand is paired with Riteish Deshmukh. Sanjeeda Shaikh, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar and Ravi Kishan round out a cast that fills every corner of the frame.
“For nearly 2 decades, you have showered unprecedented love on the Dhamaal franchise. We have had an absolute blast making it.” — Riteish Deshmukh, at the trailer launch
The Dolphin Moment Tells You Everything
Every great Dhamaal film has a moment that becomes the thing people talk about. In the original, it was the Goa treasure reveal. In Total Dhamaal, it was the sheer scale of the ensemble going absolutely feral.
In Dhamaal 4, the trailer’s closing beat is already a candidate for moment of the year. Ajay Devgn, in a direct wink at his debut film Phool Aur Kaante where he famously rode two motorcycles simultaneously, attempts to ride two dolphins. The stunt ends painfully. The self-awareness is delicious. A star who has spent decades being one of Hindi cinema’s most stoic action heroes, happily making himself the punchline, is the kind of energy that earns genuine affection.
That is what Dhamaal has always been. Not just comedy. But the specific joy of watching people fully commit to the bit, no matter how ridiculous the bit gets.
The Franchise That Refuses to Age
| Film | Year | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Dhamaal | 2007 | The original gold hunt, Goa, Sanjay Dutt |
| Double Dhamaal | 2011 | Direct sequel, the gang cons their boss |
| Total Dhamaal | 2019 | Standalone reboot, bigger ensemble |
| Dhamaal 4 | 2026 | Biggest treasure, biggest chaos yet |
Nineteen years. Four films. One director across every single one. Indra Kumar has not just made a franchise. He has built a world that audiences return to like a favourite restaurant where the menu never changes and that is exactly why you love it.
The trailer launch itself happened at Imagicaa, an amusement park on the outskirts of Mumbai, because of course it did. Where else do you launch a film about maximum fun than inside a temple dedicated to it?
Why Dhamaal 4 Arrives at Exactly the Right Moment
Somewhere between prestige cinema and intense action spectacles, audiences quietly miss something that asks nothing of them except their laughter. No moral complexity to untangle. No cliffhanger to theorise about. Just gold, confusion, crocodiles, and people who somehow always end up in worse situations than they started in.
Dhamaal 4 is not trying to be anything other than what it is: the loudest, most unapologetically entertaining family film of the summer. And in a crowded July release calendar, that clarity of purpose is its own kind of power.
July 10 is not just a release date. It is the day a mountain of gold causes a mountain of trouble, and an entire cinema full of people laughs until something hurts. Dhamaal has always known that is enough. It still is.
Verdict on the Trailer
Dhamaal 4 delivers exactly what it promises – pure, unapologetic chaos wrapped in laughter that never stops. Indra Kumar knows this world inside out, and the ensemble makes every ridiculous moment feel completely earned. If the trailer is anything to go by, July 10 is going to be the most fun you have had in a cinema hall in a very long time.
