It has earned Rs 36.90 crore in just two days.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the latest box office figures of Total Dhamaal on Twitter. He wrote, “#TotalDhamaal sets BO on 🔥🔥🔥 on Day 2… Metros/plexes join the party, thus contributing to an impressive total… Will score bigger numbers on Day 3, since families/kids are patronising it… Eyes ₹ 60 cr [+/-] weekend… Fri 16.50 cr, Sat 20.40 cr. Total: ₹ 36.90 cr.”
The film, which is the third installment in the Dhamaal franchise, is doing well overseas too.
Adarsh earlier tweeted, “#TotalDhamaal exceeds expectations in international markets as well… Mints $ 1.23 million [₹ 8.74 cr] on Day 1… Breakup: USA+Canada: $ 235k. UAE+GCC: $ 700k [Thu+Fri]. UK: $ 93k. Australia: $ 70k. NZ: $ 30k. #Overseas”
Total Dhamaal opened on February 22 to poor reviews. In her review, The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta noted, “Total Dhamaal is nothing but a string of random sequences, shot in water and on land, desert and sky.”
She continued, “Brainless comedies can be a lot of fun (brain, stop smirking), but they need to be written with smarts. Here, the CGI animals (the climactic chunk of the film is set in a zoo) have more effect than the humans.”
