This 2019 Hindi comedy is best suited to viewers who enjoy broad slapstick and a crowded, farcical chase.
What is Total Dhamaal about?
Released on 22 February 2019, Total Dhamaal runs 2 hours and 10 minutes and carries a U certificate, according to the Times of India review. Its plot sends an eccentric collection of people after hidden loot: among them are a bickering couple, siblings, conmen, a greedy police officer and the person behind the fortune. The BookMyShow listing lays out the scramble without requiring viewers to know how it ends.

Who are the scene-stealers in Total Dhamaal?
Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi’s comic rivalry
Scroll.in singles out Warsi and Jaaferi as brothers whose conflict with an unusually clever car gives them a distinctive comic thread. Their material leans into physical comedy and slapstick, but the pairing brings lively energy to the chase. Scroll.in’s review calls them scene-stealers; that is a critical judgment, not a claim of universal audience consensus.
Riteish Deshmukh’s fireman and Lallan
Deshmukh gets one of the film’s sharpest comic premises as a fireman who takes bids on whom he will rescue. Times of India reviewer Ronak Kotecha also praises his work as Lallan and his scenes with Johnny Lever. The character work gives Deshmukh opportunities to make the chaos feel playful even when the plot itself is struggling to keep pace.
#1 Best Overall
The ensemble beyond the headline trio
The film’s comic appeal is not confined to those three performers. Kotecha also praises the pairing of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, whose presence adds another source of chemistry to the ensemble. The cast has enough individual sparks to make the film’s best sequences work, even if those moments do not add up to a consistently funny whole.

The central trade-off is between performers with comic timing and a story that does not always give them strong material. The fireman’s bidding-for-rescues bit is an inventive character joke, while Warsi and Jaaferi’s quarrels turn the chase into a source of physical comedy. But Times of India’s review faults the writing and execution, describing the pursuit as a misadventure and finding the second half weighed down by too many characters. It also notes that Warsi and Jaaferi are largely left with slapstick.
That makes the film’s broad, noisy style a matter of taste as much as a strength. Viewers looking for elaborate comic set pieces and a busy ensemble may enjoy its strongest stretches. Those who need a tightly developed plot or jokes that build consistently may find the loose writing more noticeable than the cast’s bright spots.
Is Total Dhamaal worth watching?
It is worth considering if your priority is a large Hindi comedy ensemble, broad slapstick and a few performers making the most of individual scenes. Go in with more modest expectations if you want a coherent story or a steady run of jokes: the cast’s high points are more reliable than the writing around them. The film’s appeal rests on comic bits and pairings rather than a consistently well-shaped chase.
