In what’s being touted as one of the most awaited comedies of the year, ‘Dhamaal 4’ is all set to hit the screens on July 10, directed by the seasoned helmsman Indra Kumar. The movie has been making waves, not just for its star-studded cast but also for the hefty fees being offered to its lead actor, Ajay Devgn. According to sources close to the production, Ajay Devgn has allegedly charged a whopping Rs 40 crore for the film, making him one of the highest-paid Bollywood stars of the year. But is this amount justified, given the film’s genre and the competition it will face at the box office?
Rest of the cast fees revealed
The rest of the cast, including Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Emraan Hashmi, have also been paid a handsome amount for their roles in the film. While the exact figures are not yet public, sources suggest that Riteish and Arshad have been paid around Rs 10 crore each, while Emraan has been paid a slightly lower amount of Rs 8 crore. Given the cast’s proven track record in comedies, it’s no surprise that they’ve been paid such a substantial amount. However, the question remains whether the audience will be willing to shell out big bucks to watch the movie.
The movie’s plot revolves around a group of friends who get stranded on a deserted island after a boat accident. As they try to find a way to survive and escape the island, they get caught up in a series of hilarious misadventures, which form the crux of the film’s comedy. With its lighthearted tone and witty one-liners, ‘Dhamaal 4’ promises to be a laugh-out-loud experience for audiences of all ages. But will it be enough to take down the competition from Hollywood’s ‘Moana’ at the box office? Only time will tell.
Competition from Hollywood
The Indian film industry has been facing stiff competition from Hollywood movies in recent years, and ‘Dhamaal 4’ is no exception. The movie will be going up against Disney’s animated film ‘Moana’, which is expected to attract a large audience, especially families with children. While ‘Dhamaal 4’ has a built-in fan base, given the success of its predecessors, it will need to work hard to attract new viewers and hold its own against the Hollywood biggie.
To make matters worse, the movie’s release date coincides with the summer holidays, when families are more likely to hit the theaters. This means that ‘Dhamaal 4’ will have to fight hard to get a share of the audience’s attention, especially since it’s a comedy, which is often a crowded genre. But with its talented cast, engaging plot, and catchy one-liners, ‘Dhamaal 4’ has all the ingredients to be a box office hit. Whether it will be able to overcome the competition from Hollywood remains to be seen.
The verdict
With its star-studded cast, engaging plot, and lighthearted tone, ‘Dhamaal 4’ promises to be a hilarious experience for audiences of all ages. While the Rs 40 crore fee charged by Ajay Devgn may be steep, given the film’s genre and the competition it will face at the box office, it’s hard to deny the movie’s potential. With its talented cast and engaging plot, ‘Dhamaal 4’ has all the ingredients to be a box office hit. Whether it will be able to overcome the competition from Hollywood remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – it’s going to be a wild ride.
As the movie hits the screens on July 10, audiences will get to see the chemistry between the lead actors, the hilarious one-liners, and the engaging plot, which will keep them hooked till the very end. Whether ‘Dhamaal 4’ will be able to live up to its hype remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – it’s going to be a comedy of errors on the high seas that audiences won’t want to miss.
