He acted in many movies and was active from the mid 1940s till the late 1980s. He started his acting career from [[Marathi theatre]], which paved way for [[Marathi cinema]] and later he moved to [[Hindi cinema]], where he mostly played comedy roles and later in his career, character roles.<ref name="Mujawar1969">{{cite book|author=Isak Mujawar|title=Maharashtra: birthplace of Indian film industry|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RH9YAAAAMAAJ|page=152|year=1969|publisher=chief information officer, Maharashtra Information Centre}}</ref><ref name="Valicha1980">{{cite book|author=Kishore Valicha|title=The Moving Image: A Study of Indian Cinema|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tGgm0z6vthYC&pg=PA74|date=1 January 1980|publisher=Orient Blackswan|isbn=978-81-250-1608-3|page=74}}</ref><ref name="Narwekar2005">{{cite book|author=Sanjit Narwekar|title=Eena Meena Deeka: The Story of Hindi Film Comedy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ya2CRt7wPXUC&pg=RA1-PT9|year=2005|publisher=Rupa & Company|isbn=978-81-291-0859-3|page=1887}}</ref> He worked in notable films such as ''[[Howrah Bridge (film)|Howrah Bridge]]'' (1958), ''[[Bombai Ka Babu]]'' (1960), ''[[Kashmir Ki Kali]]'' (1964), ''[[Gumnaam]]'' (1965), ''[[Do Badan]]'' (1966), ''[[Love in Tokyo]]'' (1966) and ''[[Benaam (1974 film)|Benaam]]'' (1974).

==Career==
His career in acting began when he joined a drama company, where he served drinks and washed utensils. There would be occasions when artistes playing minor roles failed to turn up; this would give the spot boys an opportunity to fill in for them. This was how Dhumal landed up with bit roles in plays.

During this period, he met [[P. K. Atre]] and Nanasaheb Phatak, both big names in the drama world. Soon, he started getting recognised and bigger roles came his way. Although he eventually became famous as a comedian in films, he was more well known as a villain. He played major roles in famous plays such as ''Lagna Chi Bedi'' and ''Ghara Baher''.

From the stage, he shifted his focus to the silver screen. He worked in big movies such as ''Woh Kaun Thi'', ''Ankhen'', ''Gumnaam'', ''Arzoo'' and ''Sasural''. His first movie was a [[Marathi film]] called ''Pedgaonche Shahane'' (1952) in which he played the role of a South Indian.<ref name="CITEREFDhumalsDaughterRemembers">{{cite web|url= http://cineplot.com/dhumal-memories/|title= Dhumal's Daughter Remembers}}</ref>

He paired with fellow comedians [[Mehmood Ali|Mehmood]] and [[Shobha Khote]] in numerous Hindi films, such as ''[[Sasural (1961 film)|Sasural]]'' (1961).<ref name="Zaveri2005">{{cite book|author=Hanif Zaveri|title=Mehmood, a Man of Many Moods|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=w4R2lC3b5e4C&pg=PA58|date=1 January 2005|publisher=Popular Prakashan|isbn=978-81-7991-213-3|pages=58–}}</ref>
