電影《Dhamaal 4》的財務與評論分析
Introduction
The fourth movie in the Dhamaal series started playing in theaters on July 10. It has shown a positive trend in domestic earnings, even though critics have different opinions about the film.
《Dhamaal》系列的第四部電影於 7 月 10 日開始在電影院上映。儘管評論家對該片持有不同意見，但國內票房呈現正面增長趨勢。
Main Body
The commercial success of Dhamaal 4 is evident in the growing number of cinema-goers, with theater occupancy rising from 24% on Friday to 43% by Sunday. According to Sacnilk, the film earned a net domestic total of ₹56.45 crore during its first weekend. Sunday alone brought in ₹19.95 crore from 8,437 screenings. Furthermore, the movie earned over ₹50 crore worldwide within the first two days, reaching a total of ₹53.80 crore by the second day.
《Dhamaal 4》的商業成功顯而易見，觀影人數不斷增加，戲院上座率從週五的 24% 提升至週日的 43%。根據 Sacnilk 的數據，該片在首個週末的國內淨收益為 5.645 億盧比。單是週日一天，透過 8,437 場放映就帶來 1.995 億盧比。此外，該片在頭兩天全球票房就突破 5 億盧比，至第二天總計達到 5.38 億盧比。
When comparing this film to others, the results are mixed. While Dhamaal 4 performed better than Ajay Devgn's previous movies, such as De De Pyaar De 2 and Son of Sardaar 2, it earned less than the current release Welcome To The Jungle, which made ₹58.50 crore worldwide in the same period. Additionally, it did not beat the record set by Total Dhamaal (2019), which had a higher Sunday net of ₹25.5 crore.
將本片與其他電影相比，結果好壞參半。雖然《Dhamaal 4》的表現優於 Ajay Devgn 之前的電影（如《De De Pyaar De 2》和《Son of Sardaar 2》），但收益低於目前上映的《Welcome To The Jungle》，後者在同一期間全球獲利 5.85 億盧比。此外，它未能打破《Total Dhamaal》(2019) 創下的紀錄，後者的週日淨收益更高，達 2.55 億盧比。
Critics are divided on the quality of the film. For example, the Hindustan Times described it as a copy of previous works that relies on nostalgia rather than new ideas. Other reviewers mentioned problems with the script and visual effects. On the other hand, actor Ravi Kishan emphasized that the movie's comedy and music would help bring the genre back to popularity. Finally, a scene after the credits suggests that a fifth movie is already being planned by director Farhad Samji.
評論家對該片的品質看法分歧。例如，《印度斯坦時報》將其描述為以往作品的翻版，依賴情懷而非新創意。其他評論者則提到劇本和視覺效果存在問題。另一方面，演員 Ravi Kishan 強調該片的喜劇效果與音樂將有助於讓此類類型片重新流行。最後，片尾彩蛋片段暗示導演 Farhad Samji 已經在計劃第五部電影。
Conclusion
Dhamaal 4 has built a strong financial start with steady growth over the weekend. However, its long-term success will depend on whether it can keep this momentum despite the negative reviews from critics.
《Dhamaal 4》在週末呈現穩定增長，有了一個強有力的財務開局。然而，其長期成功將取決於在面對評論家負評的情況下，是否能維持此勢頭。
