Dhamaal 4 review: You will find buried treasure before you find the comedy

Dhamaal 4, the latest installment in the Bollywood comedy franchise, continues the tradition of a treasure hunt storyline but faces criticism for its lackluster humor and generic plot. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film features a familiar cast including Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Mishra, Arshad Warsi, and Jaaved Jaaferi, though some new actors contribute minimally. The movie attempts various comedic elements, such as AI-generated animal antics and meta-humor, but fails to deliver genuine laughs. Critics note the film's visual effects appear artificially generated and unpolished, detracting from the overall experience. While the chemistry between Devgn and Mishra remains strong, the film is seen as a decline from the franchise's earlier quality, particularly affecting the established comedic duo of Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi.
