Housefull 5 OTT Release Date: When & Where to Watch Akshay Kumar’s Comedy Thriller Online!

July 13, 2025: Housefull 5 OTT Release Date – After creating waves in theatres since its release on June 6, 2025, the much-awaited comedy-thriller Housefull 5 is now gearing up for its OTT release. The film, which marks the return of the Housefull franchise after nearly six years, is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video from August 1.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 features two distinct versions—Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B—each with a unique climax. The film blends slapstick comedy with a murder mystery, set aboard a luxurious cruise liner.

Plot and Premise

The story follows the chaos that ensues when a billionaire is murdered after naming his heir as “Jolly.” The twist? There are three “Jollys” on board—played by Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan—each claiming to be the rightful heir. As a murder investigation unfolds, secrets, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements complicate the already outrageous situation.

Star-Studded Cast

Housefull 5 boasts one of the most expansive casts in the franchise, including:

• Akshay Kumar as Julius
• Abhishek Bachchan as Jalbhushan
• Riteish Deshmukh as Jalabuddin
• Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri as the three leading ladies
• Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar as eccentric inspectors
• Mithun Chakraborty, Johnny Lever, Chunky Panday, Bobby Deol, and many more

Themes and Reception

Though a part of a traditionally over-the-top comedy series, Housefull 5 surprisingly delves into themes like mortality, memory, and the beauty of ordinary life, earning it praise from both audiences and critics. The dual-climax format has intrigued viewers, prompting many to rewatch both versions for the full experience.

With its OTT premiere scheduled on Amazon Prime Video from August 1, fans who missed the theatrical run—or want to catch the alternate ending—can now enjoy the film from the comfort of their homes.
