Dhamaal 4 Trailer Sets July 10 Release For Ajay Devgn

Ajay Devgn riding two dolphins is not a sight Bollywood leaves to chance.

That final gag in the Dhamaal 4 trailer is doing two jobs at once. It sells the film’s noisy adventure mood, and it winks at Devgn’s famous two-bike entry from Phool Aur Kaante.

The makers released the trailer on June 12, with the film set to arrive in theatres on July 10. For a franchise built on chaos, greed, and foolish men chasing money, the brief is clear: bigger animals, louder set pieces, same old treasure hunt.

Treasure hunt gets louder

The Dhamaal films have never pretended to be subtle. Their basic engine is simple. A group of oddballs hears about hidden wealth, then loses dignity while chasing it.

Dhamaal 4 sticks to that familiar route. The trailer runs 3 minutes and 27 seconds, and throws its cast into a fresh treasure chase.

This time, the madness includes dolphins, a tiger, snakes, crocodiles, storms, and a pirate ship. The point is not realism. The point is scale.

That matters because Hindi comedy has struggled in theatres lately. Mid-budget laughs no longer guarantee footfalls. Audiences now expect a big-screen reason to leave home.

Dhamaal 4 seems to understand that. The trailer sells the film less as a joke machine, more as a comedy adventure ride.

Ajay Devgn anchors the chaos

Devgn shared the trailer on social media and framed the plot around treasure trouble. His presence gives the film its commercial spine.

He joined the franchise in Total Dhamaal, the 2019 reboot-style third film. That move changed the series from a buddy comedy into a larger family entertainer.

Here too, Devgn plays the steady centre around whom the silliness spins. The trailer also shows him romancing Esha Gupta, whose character appears as a mother of two children.

That detail is small, but useful. It signals the film will not only chase stunts and punchlines. It will also try to create comic situations around family dynamics.

The dolphin gag is the cleverer call. It lets Devgn mock his own screen legend without puncturing it. Hindi cinema loves stars who can laugh at themselves, but not too much.

A crowded but controlled cast

The cast includes Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffrey, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Upendra Limaye, Anjali Anand, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Esha Gupta, and Devgn.

That is still a crowded frame, though smaller than some recent multi-starrers. The trailer gives each actor a loud moment, but Riteish and Anjali Anand stand out.

Riteish has long understood this brand of comedy. He can look foolish without making the scene feel lazy. That skill matters in a film built on panic.

Anjali Anand’s presence is interesting too. Hindi comedies often recycle the same male energy. A sharper female comic voice can change the rhythm.

Ravi Kishan appears as a pirate-style captain, clearly playing with the Jack Sparrow image. That kind of spoof works only if the actor commits fully.

Indra Kumar returns to formula

Indra Kumar has directed every film in the series. That continuity explains why Dhamaal 4 looks so sure of its own grammar.

The first Dhamaal released in 2007. Double Dhamaal followed in 2011. Total Dhamaal arrived in 2019 and reset the series for a wider audience.

This fourth film now reaches cinemas at a tricky time. Comedy franchises must balance nostalgia with freshness. Too much old flavour feels stale. Too much reinvention annoys loyal viewers.

The trailer’s answer is simple. Keep the treasure hunt. Expand the jungle, sea, and animal madness around it.

The use of The Chutney Song from Dabangg 2 also shows how Bollywood comedy borrows from memory. A familiar tune can land faster than a new setup.

For producers, that is useful shorthand. The audience recognises the mood quickly. The film then spends less time explaining itself.

Why July timing matters

The July 10 release window places Dhamaal 4 in the middle of the family outing season. Schools and colleges are in motion, but weekend crowds remain available.

For a franchise like this, that timing makes sense. It is not chasing only young urban viewers. It wants families, friend groups, and small-town theatre crowds.

That is why the trailer avoids niche humour. The jokes look broad, physical, and easy to read. Someone slipping, shouting, or escaping a crocodile needs no translation.

This also explains the animal-heavy spectacle. A child may remember the dolphin scene. A parent may remember Devgn’s old stunt. The same shot serves two generations.

The risk, of course, is repetition. Audiences know the treasure formula by now. They may laugh at the setup, but they will still demand pace.

Dhamaal 4 will need more than a busy trailer. It must land jokes across two hours, not just stack comic set pieces.

Still, the trailer makes its promise clearly. This is a big, noisy theatrical comedy that knows its audience. For viewers tired of grim thrillers and heavy dramas, that alone may be enough reason to buy a ticket. The real test begins on July 10, when the laughter has to survive beyond the trailer.
