The laughter seems to be fading at the box office. After a promising start, Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Aftab Shivdasani’s comedy sequel Mastiii 4 has hit a downward slide in its earnings—just as Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s much-hyped Tere Ishq Mein prepares to storm theatres. But here's where it gets interesting: the real reason behind the slump might not just be competition—it could be audience fatigue with recycled comedy formulas.
Reports suggest that the heavy buzz around Tere Ishq Mein has overshadowed earlier releases this week. For instance, Farhan Akhtar’s patriotic drama 120 Bahadur has also seen a sharp dip, signaling a clear pre-release impact from the upcoming romantic drama. Meanwhile, Mastiii 4—which started strong before showing signs of slowdown—continues to face declining numbers despite its star power.
According to the latest box office estimates, Mastiii 4 collected only ₹1 crore on Thursday in the domestic market. That marks a small but telling drop from Wednesday’s ₹1.15 crore, itself a 28% plunge from Tuesday’s performance. As per tracking portal Sacnilk, by the end of November 27, 2025, the film’s total gross in India reached ₹13.85 crore.
Box Office Journey So Far
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹2.75 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹2.75 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹3 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹1.6 crore
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹1.6 crore
- Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹1.15 crore
- Day 7 (Thursday): ₹1 crore (early estimates)
Total: ₹13.85 crore
The film recorded an average occupancy of 7.09% on Thursday. Mornings saw the weakest turnout at 5.54%, which improved marginally in the afternoon to 6.99%. Attendance dipped slightly again during the evening shows at 6.74%, but interestingly rose to 9.07% for the late-night screenings. Could this late boost suggest the film still has loyal fans catching up after work hours?
Performance Highlights
Critics agree that the cast fully embraces the film’s out-and-out comic tone. Riteish Deshmukh steals most of the laughs with his trademark precision and timing. Aftab Shivdasani reprises his loud and slightly over-the-top persona from earlier installments—occasionally landing effective gags. Vivek Oberoi, however, seems less energetic this time, missing some of the spark audiences loved in the previous films. Cameo appearances by Arshad Warsi and Nargis Fakhri add a bit of freshness—Warsi brings charm with his natural humor, while Fakhri lights up the screen with effortless grace.
And here’s a spicy side note—Vivek Oberoi recently made headlines saying that by 2050, people might actually ask, “Kaun Shah Rukh Khan?” That statement alone is sure to spark debate among Bollywood lovers!
With competition intensifying and Tere Ishq Mein ready to grab attention, the next few days could define Mastiii 4’s final box office fate. What do you think—is this just midweek fatigue or a sign that the Mastiii franchise is losing its comic magic? Share your thoughts—does lighthearted comedy still stand a chance against today’s high-stakes Bollywood dramas?
