Total Dhamaal Movie: Review, Collection, Box Office Collection, Budget, Story, Trailer, Music of Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Indra Kumar Film

Total Dhamaal, releasing on February 22, is the big Bollywood release of the week. The movie is directed by popular film-maker Indra Kumar, known for his entertainers like Dil, Beta, Ishq, and the Masti series. He had also directed the first two Dhamaal movies. While Dhamaal and its sequel, Double Dhamaal, were linked both cast and premise-wise, Total Dhamaal looks to be a different ball-game. Jaaved Jaaferi, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh and Sanjay Mishra are returning. But Sanjay Dutt, Ashish Chowdhry, Kangana Ranaut and Mallika Sherawat are not. Total Dhamaal: Ajay Devgn, Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor Get WhatsApp Stickers to Promote the Film – Watch Video.

The trailers and songs have given an impression of an entertaining comedy film that looks to utilise the funny bones of its talented ensemble cast.

So if you are planning to watch Total Dhamaal this weekend, here's all you need to know about the film.

Cast

Like we mentioned earlier, Total Dhamaal stars Ajay Devgn (also the producer), Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Jaaved Jaaferi, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Pitobash, Esha Gupta, Manoj Pahwa, Boman Irani and Mahesh Manjrekar. Sonakshi Sinha has a special appearance in the "Mungda" remix.

Story

Going by the plot we saw in the trailer, Total Dhamaal seems to have borrowed the story from the first Dhamaal movie. Which, interestingly, is a remake of the American comedy, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Total Dhamaal is about how some disconnected individuals try to outwit each other in their pursuit of a hidden treasure.

Trailer

Here's the main trailer of Total Dhamaal:

Budget

Total Dhamaal is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 75 crore. Therefore it has to hit the attainable Rs 100 crore mark to be called a hit. With such a cast and the audience's love for light-hearted entertainers, it is not a difficult task.

Music

Box Office Prediction

Film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi has predicted to HT that Total Dhamaal will open at around Rs 10-12 crore. He said, "This is a film which should register a big opening as it caters to huge social strata. It should appeal to the kids, elders and should perform well in the single screens, multiplexes and tier-2, tier-3 cities, which is a huge chunk. It’s from a director who has succeeded more often than not." He also expects Total Dhamaal to cross the Rs 100 crore mark. However, there will be some stiff competition from Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's last week release, Gully Boy, that is enjoying good reviews and audience response.
