Trade analysts had previously mentioned that the third film in the Dhamaal franchise has already become the highest-grossing film in the series. Although Total Dhamaal opened to  mostly negative reviews  which claimed it falters repeatedly due to an “exasperating script”, it has found its audience in families as well as kids.

The film, starring Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor,  Madhuri Dixit , Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaaferi, Pitobash, Sanjay Mishra and Boman Irani, opened in theatres on 22 February. The film brings Madhuri and Anil together after a gap of over a decade.
