Dnaindia is notably more positive than most reviews, calling it a clean family entertainer that gives the franchise a new twist. It describes the film as a rollercoaster laughter ride for families, catering more to kids.

Indiatv News calls it loud, silly and predictable, but still entertaining. It appears to take a more forgiving family entertainer stance than most critics, and highlighting Ajay, Riteish, Arshad, Jaaved and Ravi Kishan.

Filmibeat calls it a disappointing franchise entry and says it is worse than Welcome To The Jungle. The review says the cast tries hard, but weak writing, outdated humour and an underwhelming screenplay hold it back.

Bollywoodlife says the film “misses the mark” but Riteish Deshmukh delivers the laughs. It says the humour feels fake and exhausting, with Ajay looking disengaged, and Arshad and Jaaved trying but failing to recreate old magic.

HT calls it a tired sequel where the treasure hunt returns but the laughs do not. The review says the film recycles the basic Dhamaal template, mistakes noise for comedy, uses body shaming lines, and fails to recreate the Ajay-Arshad-Jaaved-Riteish charm.

Koimoi calls it a loud, mad, fast paced family entertainment with wacky humour and situational comedy. It says the film delivers chaotic laughs even though the writing is not groundbreaking and the formula is familiar.

Pinkvilla says nostalgia cannot sustain the franchise anymore. The review praises Jaaved Jaaferi and Sanjay Mishra as the few bright spots, but calls the screenplay painfully weak, the jokes repetitive and outdated, the direction poor, and the CGI subpar.

Bollywood Hungama calls Dhamaal 4 a decent, clean entertainer for families and kids. The review praises the simple old school direction, clean humour, some funny scenes, commercial appeal and emotional angle near the end.

News18 called the movie an exhausting treasure hunt with no comic payoff, saying every gag is over explained and every punchline repeated until there is nothing left for viewers to discover.

NDTV calls the movie messy, muddled and unfunny. The review says the film is packed with CGI/AI chaos, slapstick and silliness, but nothing stays afloat long enough to generate real laughs.
