Beats Other Recent Films

In just two days, Housefull 5 crossed the lifetime collections of Bhool Chuk Maaf and Deva. Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, released on May 23. It earned ₹68.06 crore in India and ₹81.6 crore worldwide.

Big Star Cast

Housefull 5 is the fifth movie in Sajid Nadiadwala’s comedy franchise. The cast includes Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Nikitin Dheer, Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Soundarya Sharma, and Johnny Lever.

Mixed Reviews from Critics

Critics had mixed reactions. Hindustan Times wrote, “The film starts off on a funny note, helped along by Shreyas Talpade’s presence. But it lacks the energy you’d expect for the kind of boisterous ride you’ve signed up for—until Akshay walks in, Ace Ventura-style. His comic timing immediately lifts the film, but I can’t say the same for the other characters.”
