Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 confirms franchise future with Dhamaal 5 tease
The makers have announced Dhamaal 5 in the final moments of Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4. Filmmaker Farhad Samji will direct the next instalment, even as audience reactions remain mixed.

The ending of Ajay Devgn’s Dhamaal 4 has sparked buzz about the franchise’s next chapter. The climax scene announces Dhamaal 5, with filmmaker Farhad Samji set to take over as director.
On Friday, the film opened to mixed reactions from critics and audiences. While some viewers said they enjoyed parts of the comedy, others criticised the film’s humour and technical choices, even as several moviegoers took to social media to talk about the tease for Dhamaal 5.
Soon after the film released on the big screen, viewers began posting about the ending on X. One user wrote, "BREAKING - #Dhamaal5 end credit scene in #Dhamaal4. Farhad Samji to direct this time.. more details expected soon."
Another wrote, "#AjayDevgn’s #Dhamaal4 ends with major tease confirming #Dhamaal5 is coming."
The comedy entertainer marks the return of Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi, as the franchise comes back with another treasure-hunt adventure. Apart from the original quartet, the film also stars Ravi Kishan, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Esha Gupta and others in key roles. The latest instalment follows the gang as they set out in search of the ‘Treasure of Life’, only for the mission to spiral into chaotic and comic misadventures.
Early audience reactions online were divided. One viewer wrote, "Trying too hard to look cool. Dhamaal 4 is a cringe-comedy. Even children won’t laugh."
Another user said the film worked only in parts and wrote, "It is more like you also knew what you were going for. Having zero expectations but it still doesn’t work. Overall too, from a Dhamaal perspective, it is hit and miss. There are moments, but even those feel stretched. Though good to see #AjayDevgn in that comic form."
Some also criticised the film’s visuals. One X user wrote, "#Dhamaal4 Makers are too lazy using cheap quality AI to show back story montage. Instagram YouTube creators make better than this." Another user summed up the reaction with the post, "Dhamaal 4 SCAMaal 4 ."
India Today gave the film a rating of 1.5 stars. A part of its review read, "Directed by Indra Kumar, the fourth instalment of the beloved comedy franchise sticks to the one formula it knows best: a treasure hunt. The cast remains largely intact. Ajay Devgn leads the pack as Guddu, joined by Sanjay Mishra, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh and Jaaved Jaaferi. The new additions include Anjali Anand, Ravi Kishan, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Esha Gupta, who appears for barely four scenes, and two children. Unfortunately, none of them add much to a plot that feels as elusive as the treasure everyone is chasing."
