Another added, “Snoozefest all the way.  Let’s admit, not everyone can be Akshay Kumar who can make even the most stupid jokes worth laughing at. There are actually several moments which could have worked but due to average execution and performance issues, it turns out to be ineffective. Sanjay Mishra is a relief and there are a few jokes which make you smile. Kids in Tier 2 & Tier 3 cities may enjoy the film but nothing much for adults.”

“Comedy is hit and Miss...at some places it lands well, at some places it comes out forcefully. Number of times Gopal Snacks is advertised is way too irritating…,” commented a third. 

“Ban gaya cool. Dhamaal 4 = Cringe comedy. Bachho ko bhi hansi nahi ayegi [Trying too hard to look cool. Dhamaal 4 is cringe comedy. Even children won't laugh]” read yet another comment. 

A fifth user said, “WTF is this. And they are using the Money Heist Bella Ciao Song As Funny Background Music. Dhamaal 4 is total cringe.”

Some, however, said that they laughed enough while watching the film. 

“This is actually a fun watch so far. Plenty of laughs and it keeps you entertained. Already better than Welcome to the jungle,” read yet another comment. 

Yet another person who watched the film wrote, “The film is far more entertaining than the trailer and the best part is that it’s very very very fast-paced. 1.15 hour just went by in a jiffy. The humour element is designed especially for the kids, which is so rare in Bollywood today. Second half mein mazaa aayega. If it’s as good as the first half, then we have a HIT loading.”
