Dhamaal 4 will be the fifth highest grossing film in the comedy genre and probably the second if we take out the ones which came on a holiday period. Housefull 4 and Golmaal Again were on Diwali and Good Newwz was New Year. The Diwali period is particulary beneficial for a comedy genre film. It is beneficial for all but a little extra for a comedy film that works.

Housefull 5 is actually the highest outside a Holiday period but that film was an underperformer due to costs and falling short of the earlier film in the franchise. Despite comedy being among the 4/5 main genres it only came into its in the 90's as before that there were not many comedy films made as they had their limitations. Today they have limitations as well because the biggest ones are at 200 crore nett only that too in holiday periods but it is one of the safest genres as can be seen with results of Welcome To the Jungle and Dhamaal 4. 

The list below are the top ten films in the comedy genre not including the ones which rely on the horror factor which is a factor that can take comedy to the bigger collections. Once the horror is sold then it becomes more of a horror film than comedy. The one in last position in the list Ready and this one is actually the biggest comedy genre film released post 2000.
