Housefull 5: A Comedy Franchise That Continues to Deliver
Since its inception, the Housefull series has been a crowd-puller, known for its slapstick humor, grand ensemble casts, and family-friendly appeal. The fifth installment builds on this legacy with Akshay Kumar leading a powerhouse cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh, Pooja Hegde, Kriti Sanon, and many more.
The film’s box office performance is reflective of both strong word-of-mouth and massive pre-release buzz. With over ₹150 crore collected in just 10 days, it has now officially surpassed the ₹150 crore lifetime collection of Akshay’s 2023 hit OMG 2.

Can Housefull 5 Enter the ₹200 Cr Club?
With positive reviews from both critics and fans, Housefull 5 shows strong potential to touch or even cross the ₹200 crore mark within its second week. The absence of any major competing release in the upcoming week also plays in its favor.
Moreover, Akshay Kumar’s consistent fanbase and the movie’s festive timing have given it an extra boost. If the current momentum holds, this could become the highest-grossing film in the Housefull franchise, beating Housefull 4’s ₹210 crore lifetime gross.
Additionally, the movie’s humorous content makes it ideal for repeat viewing — a key factor in the Indian box office’s long-term success formula.

In an era dominated by action thrillers and biopics, Housefull 5 reaffirms that there’s still a huge audience for feel-good family comedies. The film’s roaring success is not just a box office win but a clear message — lighthearted, well-executed films continue to draw massive footfalls.
With strong collections, positive sentiment, and no immediate competition, Housefull 5 is set to go down as one of the biggest Bollywood hits of 2025.
