BOLLYWOOD | AMN-USA — The latest installment in the popular Housefull comedy franchise, Housefull 5, opened with a bang at the Indian box office on June 6, 2025. Led by superstar Akshay Kumar, the film is off to an impressive start, raking in nearly ₹14 crore from advance bookings alone. Industry analysts project its Day 1 total earnings to cross ₹20–22 crore.

This marks one of the strongest openings for a Bollywood film in 2025, outperforming recent releases like Kesari Chapter 2 and Khel Khel Mein.

Will It Beat Housefull 4?

Back in 2019, Housefull 4 debuted with ₹19.08 crore on its first day and went on to earn over ₹200 crore domestically. With Housefull 5 already matching or exceeding those early figures, expectations are high that the new film could surpass its predecessor, but much depends on weekend momentum and weekday holds.

What’s Driving the Buzz?

The film features an ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Nana Patekar, and Jackie Shroff. Adding a unique twist, Housefull 5 has dual endings for both versions. Early audience reactions are overwhelmingly positive, with many describing it as a "hilarious joyride" and praising the surprise reveal.
