Housefull 5 (2025) arrives as the grand finale to Bollywood’s beloved slapstick franchise. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, this edition promises “five times the entertainment” with the first-ever Indian comedy to feature dual endings. Released on June 6, 2025, Housefull 5 embraces chaos, star power, and absurdity like never before.
Plot & Unique Format
Following the franchise’s ritual of over-the-top humor, this installment thrusts its characters into a murder mystery aboard a luxury cruise. Played by Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and a galaxy of stars, the chaos escalates as multiple characters claim to be the late billionaire heir, Jolly.
What truly sets Housefull 5 apart is its cinema innovation: two alternate climaxes are released simultaneously—Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B—each with a different murderer, ensuring fresh surprises in different theatres.
Star-Studded Cast & Production
This film dubbed “India’s first five-hero comedy,” features a vast ensemble including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan alongside Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, and more. The casting decision leaned into both seasoned veterans and new faces, all aboard a cruise ship that doubled as the primary shooting location.
Filming commenced in September 2024 onboard a cruise traversing the UK and Europe. The logistical complexity of shooting action and comedy at sea was rewarded by stunning visuals and a bold, globe-trotting backdrop for the slapstick fun.
Box Office & Reception
Despite mixed reviews, Housefull 5 delivered strong business. It became Akshay Kumar’s post-pandemic blockbuster, entering the ₹200 crore net club in India, and surpassing ₹300 crore globally, making it one of 2025’s biggest comedies.
The film achieved ₹183 crore in India by its third week and continued to thrill audiences with its humor and spectacle, despite competition from other big releases.
Audience Buzz
Fans have adored the franchise’s return—especially lauding Kumar’s impeccable comedic timing and the unexpected murder twist:
“Akshay’s comic timing is spot-on, and the killer reveal had everyone in the theatres gasping!”
Early backlash from Reddit speculated massive budgets, but enthusiasm prevailed as viewers embraced nostalgia and crazy-crossover comedy.
Why Housefull 5 Works
Housefull 5 combines wildly absurd setups, ensemble brilliance, and industry-first dual endings to stand out even within its own wacky continuity. It isn’t about coherent storyline—it’s about comedic mayhem, star power, and keeping the laughs (and surprises) rolling.
