Critic Consensus

Critical reception for Dhamaal 4 is largely negative, with most reviewers finding the film unfunny and creatively exhausted. The ensemble cast received occasional acknowledgment, and a handful of critics noted it functions as a passable family entertainer for franchise loyalists and younger audiences. However, the dominant criticism centers on weak, fragmented writing, recycled and poorly landing gags, and an overlong runtime that leaves the story stagnant. Several reviewers also flagged poor CGI and outdated humor as additional liabilities.

Nothing that Dhamaal 4 throws up stays afloat long enough to give the audience anything to crack up over.

As Ajay Devgn leaps off ships and cliffs on rescue missions, it is the new addition, Ravi Kishan as a Jack Sparrow-type samudri daku, who brings some giggles to the film. Unfunny jokes and CGI avalanche sink Ajay Devgn's creaky comedy.

Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi and others bring a mad crazy world in Dhamaal 4 which is unapologetically funny and chaotically twisted.

...a film that sells entertainment, not logic. If you enjoy mindless comedies, outrageous situations and comedy of errors, this film is likely to entertain you.

Dhamaal 4 delivers what fans expect from the franchise - comedy, chaos and confusion. While the first half is entertaining and fast paced, the second one feels stretched. If you've been a dedicated fan of the Dhamaal franchise, the new installment will keep you entertained.

6.0
DHAMAAL 4 is a decent, clean entertainer that should largely appeal to families and kids. However, the screenplay dips in places, and several gags don’t land with the intended force, thereby emerging as the film’s major minus points.

4.0
The fourth instalment in Indra Kumar's Dhamaal franchise is rattling, loud and ludicrous. It goes above and beyond slapstick and brainrot. But somehow, none of the constant bickering, exaggerated movements, comical accidents and confusion land. At 2 hours 23 minutes, Dhamaal 4 is an excrutiatingly exhausting watch that never moves the story beyond square one.

3.0
Dhamaal 4 disappoints with its lazy writing, recycled gags, and problematic humour, despite a committed ensemble cast. The film's humour is largely infantile, relying on slapstick and recycled gags, with few genuine laughs. The way Dhamaal 4 treats its female characters reveals that the filmmakers have little interest in keeping pace with the times.

3.0
You will find buried treasure before you find the comedy. Weak writing, bad AI visuals and dated humour have drained the franchise's comic spark.

2.0
If this is what Dhamaal 4 considers comic gold, the bar has sunk alarmingly low. I laughed a grand total of five times throughout the film. I began counting midway because keeping track of the laughs was far more engaging.

Despite the flaws, Dhamaal 4 retains the franchise for good. It is a fun rollercoaster family entertainer, with a heart, tailor-made for kids.

At 2 hours 20 minutes long, Indra Kumar film starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jafferi is a collection of gags, weakly stitched together.

Anuj Kumar· The Hindu

By pushing the series into a hollow fourth installment, the makers seem to be executing their own creative heist — mining the final ounces of goodwill from a beloved 2007 comedy to secure a quick box-office payout. Instead of crafting a cohesive narrative that leverages their sharp situational wit, the writers strand these veterans inside a fragmented sequence of sketches. For the rest, it is a test of patience.
