Double Dhamaal, also known as 420s or Super Kameenas, (transl. Double fun) is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language comedy film and a sequel to the 2007 hit film Dhamaal, and the second installment of Dhamaal film series. The film is directed and produced by Indra Kumar and also produced by Ashok Thakeria.
Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the performances but criticism for it humor and clichés. Despite this, it was a commercial hit at the box office.[3]

Plot
The story continues from the previous film.
The four good-for-nothing friends Roy, Adi, Boman and Manav are still trying to con people for a living. They happen to see their old enemy Kabir 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 along with his sister Kiya have an agenda of their own. Kabir connects them with an investor named Bata Bhai 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 due to Kabir exposing them to him.
