The much-awaited trailer of Dhamaal 4 has finally arrived, bringing back the franchise’s signature blend of comedy, adventure and outrageous chaos. Starring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaaferi, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Upendra Limaye, Anjali Anand, Sanjeeda Shaikh and Esha Gupta, the film promises a larger-than-life treasure hunt loaded with hilarious situations and unexpected twists.
Directed by Indra Kumar, the fourth installment in the popular comedy franchise is scheduled to hit theatres on July 10, 2026.
A Treasure Hunt Sparks New Madness
The trailer introduces viewers to an exciting new storyline centered around a hidden treasure map.
At the heart of the adventure is Ravi Kishan’s pirate-inspired character, who is desperately searching for a mysterious “khazaane ka naksha” (treasure map). As expected, the quest quickly spirals into complete chaos as multiple characters race to uncover the treasure before anyone else.
Adding to the confusion is a humorous misunderstanding involving the letters “W” and “M,” creating another classic Dhamaal-style comic situation.
Nostalgic Callbacks for Franchise Fans
One of the biggest highlights of the trailer is its celebration of the franchise’s legacy.
Long-time fans will instantly recognize references to iconic moments from previous films, including the famous red button gag, one of the most memorable comedy sequences from the original Dhamaal.
The trailer opens with a playful callback:
“Apne theek saamne dekhiye, wheel ke saamne ek red button hai? Nahi dabana tha!”
The nostalgic references are likely to resonate strongly with audiences who have followed the franchise since its debut in 2007.
Comedy Meets Adventure and Horror
The makers have expanded the franchise formula by combining multiple genres.
Apart from comedy and adventure, the trailer also introduces supernatural elements.
A haunted mansion filled with ghosts becomes the backdrop for several comic sequences involving Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Mishra. Rather than delivering scares, these scenes appear designed to maximize laughs through exaggerated reactions and absurd situations.
This blend of horror and comedy adds a fresh dimension to the film while retaining its family-friendly appeal.
Wild Animals Add to the Chaos
The trailer showcases an impressive range of animals that become part of the story’s unpredictable journey.
Viewers can spot:
- Tigers
- Dolphins
- Snakes
- Crocodiles
- Octopus sequences
- Jungle adventure settings
One standout moment features Ajay Devgn confronting a tiger in a sequence that playfully parodies his larger-than-life action hero image.
Fresh Pairings and New Characters
While the core team remains intact, Dhamaal 4 introduces several fresh character dynamics.
Ajay Devgn and Esha Gupta
The film pairs Ajay Devgn opposite Esha Gupta, bringing a new romantic angle to the story.

Regional Flavor Adds a New Twist
Another interesting element in the trailer is a Bhojpuri-inspired musical sequence.
The song “Phulari Bina Chutney Kaise Bani” features Riteish Deshmukh and Anjali Anand, adding regional humor and cultural flavor to the film’s comedy.
The sequence is expected to become one of the film’s major crowd-pleasing moments.
References to Ajay Devgn’s Career
