Total Dhamaal earned Rs 25.50 crore on its very first Sunday at the ticket window. The film grossed Rs 16.50 crore  on Day 1 and Rs 20.40 crore on Day 2 of its release, thus making a total collection of Rs 62.40 crore at the domestic box office. On the other hand, Ranveer Singh's Gully boy had grossed Rs 19.40 crore on Day 1, Rs 13.10 crore on Day 2 and, Rs 18.65 crore on its Day 3, taking its first three-day collection to Rs 51.15 crore.
