Total Dhamaal is the third film in the Dhamaal franchise. It features Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Boman Irani, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffrey, Sanjay Mishra and Johnny Lever. Total Dhamaal also brings back the magical duo of Anil and Madhuri after a hiatus of 19 years and fans can't get enough of them.

In the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, the film did not release in Pakistan. Ajay Devgn and other members of the cast took to their Twitter handles to share the news. The cast and crew of Total Dhamaal also donated Rs. 50 lakh to the families of the CRPF personnel, who lost their lives in the ghastly terror attack.
