Dhamaal 4 has finally arrived in theatres, and fans expected the latest instalment to deliver the same comedy and chaos that made the franchise popular. While the film has received mixed reviews, one aspect has drawn significant criticism from audiences.
Many viewers believe Ajay Devgn has been underutilised despite being one of the biggest stars in the cast. His entry into the franchise with Total Dhamaal had raised expectations, but several fans feel his role in Dhamaal 4 does not give him enough opportunities to stand out.
According to audience reactions on social media, Ajay Devgn appears more like a supporting character than a central figure. Many viewers compared his screen presence with Total Dhamaal and felt his character has been overshadowed by the ensemble cast.
Some fans also expressed disappointment, saying an actor known for delivering memorable performances deserved a stronger role. A section of viewers believes Ajay accepted the limited role because of his long association with director Indra Kumar, with whom he previously worked in Ishq.
Another group of viewers felt Ajay Devgn has intentionally stepped back to give more space to his co-stars. They argued that this approach does not benefit him, especially in films featuring a large ensemble cast, and urged him to avoid similar choices in the future.
A few critics echoed these opinions, suggesting that Ajay Devgn’s limited presence could affect the film’s appeal at the box office. They believe audiences expected him to play a much more prominent role throughout the film.
Despite the criticism, trade experts remain optimistic about Dhamaal 4. They believe the film has a good chance of performing steadily at the box office because there are no major releases until the end of the month. Although a few Hollywood films are scheduled to arrive, trade analysts do not expect them to create significant competition.
