Golmaal Again: The Technical Shift to Horror-Comedy and the Road to Golmaal 5

In the history of Bollywood comedy franchises, the Golmaal series stands as a technical benchmark for ensemble storytelling. When Golmaal Again (Golmaal 4) was released in 2017, it marked the 10th year of the brand and the 10th collaboration between Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty. At the itrendspot Cinema Lab, we audited this film to understand why it remains a cult favorite in 2026.

The Ghost Protocol: A Genre-Bending Success

The biggest technical risk in the fourth installment was the introduction of the “Ghost” element. By blending supernatural elements with classic slapstick comedy, Rohit Shetty created a “Roller-Coaster” experience that resonated with millions.

  • The Cast Addition: The inclusion of Tabu (as Rukmini) and Parineeti Chopra (as Priyanka) added a narrative depth that the previous films lacked.
  • The Voice of Lucky: A standout technical detail was using the legendary Nana Patekar as the voice-over for the ghost scenes, which remains one of the most clever cameos in the franchise.

The 2026 Perspective: Why Golmaal Again Still Matters

As we look toward the production of Golmaal 5, the 2017 film serves as the blueprint. Our data shows that the “Horror-Comedy” genre, which Golmaal Again helped popularize, is now a multi-billion rupee segment in Indian cinema. Fans still return to this film for the iconic car stunts and the “6-seater bike” sequences that defined the big-screen experience of the late 2010s.
