Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 has already surpassed the advance booking numbers of Akshay Kumar’s previous film, Kesari Chapter 2, showcasing the franchise’s unbeatable mass appeal. Including block bookings, the film’s advance business rises to a strong Rs 7.16 crore, signaling one of the most promising openings of the year.
The franchise’s last outing, Housefull 4, had set a high benchmark with Rs 8 crore in advance bookings and a Rs 19 crore net opening day collection during the 2019 Diwali weekend. This year, fans can expect even more excitement as Housefull 5 takes the series in a bold new direction with a comedy-mystery plot set on a lavish cruise ship.
Adding a fresh twist, the film features two alternate endings, each revealing a different murderer, combining suspense with the franchise’s trademark chaos and laughter.
The star-studded cast includes Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Chunky Pandey, and many more, promising high-voltage entertainment.
With the franchise’s massive legacy of over Rs 788 crore worldwide collections, and Housefull 4 alone contributing Rs 296 crore, expectations are sky-high.
On the personal front, Akshay Kumar’s calendar remains packed, with his much-anticipated return in Hera Pheri 3 and a significant role in the high-profile project Kannappa alongside stars like Prabhas and Mohanlal.
