‘Dhamaal 4’ movie review: Ajay Devgn struggles in this listless hunt for laughs

"Dhamaal 4" attempts to revive the beloved comedy franchise but struggles to deliver the laughs that fans might expect. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film features Ajay Devgn leading a motley crew of characters on a chaotic treasure hunt. While the premise promises a wild adventure filled with humor, the execution falls flat, leaving viewers with a sense of disappointment. The film's humor often relies on outdated gags and slapstick antics, with characters like Guddu and his eccentric companions navigating absurd situations. Despite the actors' best efforts, including the comedic talents of Sanjay Mishra and Javed Jaaferi, the script feels repetitive and lacks a cohesive narrative. The reliance on cheap CGI and exaggerated scenarios detracts from the overall experience, making it hard for the audience to engage with the story. While some moments, such as Guddu's encounter with ghosts and playful banter between characters, provide fleeting amusement, they are overshadowed by the film's overall lack of originality. Ultimately, "Dhamaal 4" may entertain younger audiences seeking mindless fun, but for others, it serves as a reminder of what could have been—a missed opportunity for genuine humor and creativity.
