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 Kabirs oil project, and the money is then stolen by Kabir.

The movie ends with them escaping from Johnny Bonzela (J. Brandon Hill) due to Kabir exposing them to him.Double Dhamaal received negative acclaim from critics upon release. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 20% rotten rating.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. Nikhat Kazmi from the Times of India gave the film 3/5 stars and said This ones definitely not for the fastidious, choosy viewer but for those who dont mind losing it for a bit, Double Dhamaal works like an average Bollywood comedy. Performance-wise, its one big circus with the guys hogging most of the limelight. The girls -- Mallika and Kangana -- are mere confetti. Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times rated the film with 1 out of 5 stars.

Shakti Salgaokar of DNA gave the movie a one and half stars and wrote in his review: Indra Kumars 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. Spare us the horror, please?. Nikita Kapoor of FilmiTadka rated Double Dhamaal with 2 out of 5 stars and said - In the end Double Dhamaal is a completely mindless, non-sense comedy, which is a sequel to 2007 film, Dhamaal. If the first one was Dhamaal, then this one was not an iota more than half Dhamaal.

Rachel Saltz of The New York Times wrote in her review: The director, Indra Kumar, lets his baggy tale sprawl to 2 hours and 18 minutes and peppers it with references to other, better films and with movie talk in general. All characters are fictitious, someone says when the fools are caught scheming on camera, and bear no resemblance to people living or dead. In this case, all you can say is amen.
