He had said, “This is a film which caters to huge social strata. It should appeal to the kids, elders and should perform well in the single screens, multiplexes and tier-2, tier-3 cities, which is a huge chunk. It’s from a director who has succeeded more often than not.” Total Dhamaal has arrived a week after Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s Gully Boy which continues to do well at the box office. The film has already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the domestic box office. On being asked if Total Dhamaal and Gully Boy affect each other’s box office, Rathi had said, “Not at all. Gully Boy caters to the multiplex audience while Total Dhamaal is for the masses.” Also read: Total Dhamaal movie review: Yet another Ajay Devgn atrocity. 1 star Total Dhamaal is the third instalment in the hit Dhamaal series.
