Akshay Kumar steps back into a crazy comic avatar he is typically known for in Housefull 5, the fifth installment of the longest running film series in India. This mega ensemble comic entertainer hit the theaters on June 6, 2025. The film is directed by Tarun Mansukhnani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
When the teaser of Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 movie was released, it generated a huge hype due to the magnum opus cast the film boasts of. The Housefull 5 cast consists of over 20 members in the lead including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Ranjeet, Jacqueline Fernandez, Soundarya Sharma, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangda Singh, Chunky Panday, Johnny Lever, Nikitin Dheer, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Shreyas Talpade, Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea, and several others.
Additionally, the chartbuster songs like Laal Pari went on to be chartbusters. Adding a cherry on this hype-filled cake was producer Sajid Nadiadwala who announced that two different versions of Housefull 5 would be released together featuring two different villains. These two versions are titled Housefull A & Housefull B.
The Housefull 5 Trailer Review too showed a great response from those who watched it. Unfortunately, it faced a highly underwhelming response as it gained only 9.46M views in the first 24 hours on YouTube while the top 10 most viewed Indian movie trailers have a standard of 40m views in a day.
However, as the Housefull 5 release date came closer, the full-fledged advance booking for the film began on May 31 in India. With the beginning of its pre-sales, the film experienced a very decent start to prepare for its opening day. As of the final Housefull 5 advance booking report, the comic entertainer sold 90,000 tickets in 6 days in the national chains. Meanwhile, the Housefull 5 Overseas Box Office Advance Booking also saw a decent response in markets like Germany, Australia, and UAE.
Judging by the love for Housefull franchise in India as well as Akshay Kumar’s legacy in the comedy genre, Housefull 5 upcoming movie is expected to be a huge box office success. The earlier installment, Housefull 4, was a superhit as well as the highest grossing film of Akshay Kumar. As Housefull 5 is made on a budget of Rs 375 crore, a box office reception much bigger than Housefull 4 is needed for the film to become a big grosser.
A major factor which can boost the chances of Housefull 5 succeeding is that the film is not facing any major competition in theaters. The only battle it would see is Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par, another comedy film as well as a sequel releasing 2 weeks after Housefull 5. However, the Akshay Kumar starrer would be standing a good position if received with a positive word-of-mouth.
