A sequel titled ''[[Total Dhamaal]]'' was released in February 2019, with the main three cast members (Deshmukh, Warsi, and Jaffrey) reprising their roles.

==Plot==
The story continues from the previous film.

The four good-for-nothing friends Roy ([[Ritesh Deshmukh]]), Adi ([[Arshad Warsi]]), Boman ([[Aashish Chaudhary]]) and Manav ([[Javed Jaffrey]]) are still trying to con people for a living. They happen to see their old enemy Kabir ([[Sanjay Dutt]]) driving a luxurious [[Mercedes Benz]], and try to find out the secret behind his success. Upon investigating, they find that he is living off his 'wife's' wealth.

They then blackmail him into making them his business partners, but little do the four friends know that Kabir, his girlfriend Kamini ([[Mallika Sherawat]]) along with his sister Kiya ([[Kangana Ranaut]]) have an agenda of their own. Kabir connects them with an investor named Bata Bhai ([[Satish Kaushik]]) who is also a don. The four friends convince Bata Bhai to invest his money into Kabir's oil project, and the money is then stolen by Kabir. Kabir leaves the country along with Kamini and Kiya, and leaves the four friends to deal with Bata Bhai.
However, the four friends are able to leave the city and track Kabir down in [[Macau]]. They make a plan to ruin Kabir's happiness and take their money back by going in disguise.
Roy "cons" Kiya by disguising himself as 'Tukiya' and pretending to be in love with her, whilst Adi disguises himself as a Sikh man called 'Ghanta Singh', getting the job of Kabir's "personal assistant". Roy also disguises himself as 'Heera Bhai', a "Gujarati investor" who would supposedly "invest" in Kabir's casino, and Boman acts as his wife, "in love with Kabir" to break his relationship with Kamini. Manav poses as various characters.

However, Kabir, Kamini, and Kiya find out about their plans and decide to pretend to be fooled by the four friends, playing along with their plans. However, they eventually reveal this at the end when the four friends reveal themselves, shocking and scaring the four friends, who are incensed at getting tricked by the trio again. The movie ends with them escaping from Johnny Bonzela (J. Brandon Hill) due to Kabir exposing them to him.

Top critic [[Taran Adarsh]] of [[Bollywood Hungama]] awarded the film 4/5 stars, saying that it is "seriously hilarious" and that "sometimes, a good laugh is all you need to make your day. Try not to miss this one, it pledges hilarity in abundance..."<ref>{{cite web|title=Double Dhamaal: Movie Review by Taran Adarsh|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14060/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100907200018/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14060/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 September 2010|website=[[Bollywood Hungama]]|access-date=24 June 2011}}</ref> [[Nikhat Kazmi]] from the ''[[Times of India]]'' gave the film 3/5 stars and said "This one's definitely not for the fastidious, choosy viewer but for those who don't mind losing it for a bit, Double Dhamaal works like an average Bollywood comedy. Performance-wise, it's one big circus with the guys hogging most of the limelight. The girls -- Mallika and Kangana -- are mere confetti."<ref>{{cite news|title=Double Dhamaal|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Double-Dhamaal/moviereview/8951638.cms|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=24 June 2011|first1=Nikhat|last1=Kazmi|date=23 June 2011}}</ref> Mayank Shekhar of the ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' rated the film with 1 out of 5 stars.<ref>{{cite news|last=Shekhar|first=Mayank|title=Mayank Shekhar's Review: Double Dhamaal|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Mayank-Shekhar-s-Review-Double-Dhamaal/Article1-713138.aspx|access-date=24 June 2011|newspaper=Hindustan Times|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110626020143/http://www.hindustantimes.com/mayank-shekhar-s-review-double-dhamaal/article1-713138.aspx|archive-date=26 June 2011}}</ref> Shakti Salgaokar of [[Daily News and Analysis|DNA]] gave the movie a one and half stars and wrote in his review: "Indra Kumar's recipe for double dhamaal is quite simple – sexual innuendo, potshots at popular films, bad mimicry, foreign locations, a generous dose of overacting, an item song and a gora villain. And as he magnificently presents the climax of the film (which is funny in parts but overall ends up being a damp squib) he leaves you with a threat of a sequel.
