With three movies boasting hilarious one-liners and over-the-top gags, the Dhamaal franchise is one of contemporary Bollywood’s best comedy franchises. If you wish to watch all the Dhamaal movies in order, we have got you covered with a roundup of the Dhamaal trilogy in order and where to stream them.
How to watch the Dhamaal movies in chronological order
With the first two Dhamaal movies directly connected to each other and the third one being a reboot, the Dhamaal series can fortunately be streamed in the same order as their release date.
-
Dhamaal (2007)
-
Double Dhamaal (2011)
-
Total Dhamaal (2019)
The first Dhamaal remains a cult classic winning over critics and audiences alike for its goofy premise and intertwined subplots connecting to a wild treasure hunt. Loosely inspired by the vintage Hollywood comedy It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, the film found a ragtag bunch of four slackers and a corrupt cop as they battled each other in laying claim to a dead man’s treasure.
Sanjay Dutt’s cop character and the rest of the ensemble (Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaffrey, Riteish Deshmukh and Aashish Chaudhary) returned a few years later in Double Dhamaal, a direct sequel that builds up from its predecessor’s events and continues exploring the many exploits of the franchise’s conman protagonists.
Even as Double Dhamaal failed to replicate the first movie’s legacy, it fared well at the box-office. The third movie Total Dhamaal was a reboot of the franchise and found many of the first two movie’s cast-members returning along with new additions like Ajay Devgn, Madhuri Dixit, and Anil Kapoor. The movie yet again went ahead with the first part’s treasure hunt premise, increasing the stakes and the budget.
With Total Dhamaal yet again subjected to mixed reviews, the movie was a box-office hit, leaving the franchise to be profitable enough to yield any sequels in the future.
