The multi-starrer film has a good start at the commercial circuits with an earning of ₹16.50 crore on its opening day at the box office. ‘Total Dhamaal’ observed an excellent jump on its second and third day at the box office where it collected ₹20.40 crores and ₹25.50 crores respectively. It is the highest first-weekend collection of the year beating the numbers of the last week collection of ‘Gully Boy’ by ₹10 crores.
For an adventure comedy, ‘Total Dhamaal’ apparently has good use of VFX, but the film’s screenplay and punchlines are predictable. The first half of the movie is breezy while the second one is overcrowded with many characters in a week plot.
