Total Dhamaal earns Rs 123 crore in two weeks at the box office

Total Dhamaal registered the highest first-weekend collection of the year so far. Credit it to Ajay Devgn's comic timing or the nostalgic value of the Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit-Nene Jodi, but the laugh riot earned Rs 62.4 crore over the opening weekend. Kapoor, who teamed up with filmmaker Indra Kumar after 27 years, attributes the success to the audience's love for comedies.

The cast and crew of Total Dhamaal also donated Rs 50 lakh to the families to the CRPF personnel, who lost their lives in the ghastly Pulwama terror attack. The film is the third sequel to the 2007 'Dhamaal' and much like its first part, 'Total Dhamaal' follows a group of people, who are trying to outrun each other in their quest for hidden treasure.
