💬 Taran Adarsh: “100 Not Out”

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the film’s milestone, calling Monday the “make-or-break” moment for the film.

“T’S A CENTURY – 100 NOT OUT… #Housefull5 crosses the ₹ cr mark on the crucial, make-or-break Monday… Surpassing the double-digit mark was essential, and the film has delivered,” he posted.

Adarsh highlighted that while metro cities showed decent numbers, it was the mass circuits that truly powered the film’s revenue.

Backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, Warda Nadiadwala, and Firuzi Khan under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film marks the fifth instalment of the Housefull franchise, which began in 2010.

🗣️ “People Have Opinions – That’s a Good Thing”

Addressing criticism around the film’s content and style, a cast member noted:

“If people are calling it out, it means they’re watching with a certain eye and sensibility. You’ve paid money, so you have every right to have an opinion.”

With Week 1 collections nearing ₹120 crore, the film is expected to cruise past ₹150 crore in the coming days, especially with a relatively open window before major releases hit theatres.
