The Akshay Kumar-led comedy extravaganza Housefull 5 has now crossed the ₹ 200 Crore mark in India, while also roaring past the ₹ 300 Crore milestone worldwide, proving that the franchise’s comedic chaos still packs a powerful punch at the box office. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 is the second film in the franchise to join the ₹ 200 crore club in India after Housefull 4.
Love it or hate it, there’s no denying the film’s box office dominance. Despite receiving a mixed critical reception, Housefull 5 has struck gold with the audience, especially among fans of masala entertainers. Its consistent performance across weekdays and weekends alike has helped it achieve the ₹ 200 Crore nett mark in India. The film isn’t just a domestic success, it has grossed over ₹ 300 Crore gross worldwide in 25 days. This feat reaffirms the franchise’s strong theatrical pull and the massive appeal of Akshay Kumar’s comic timing and star power.
With strong word-of-mouth in the mass circuits and a steady run even after two weekends, the film’s lifetime total could climb even higher in the coming weeks. Hit ya Flop rated the Housefull 5 – 1.5 out of 5 stars, labeling it “Not Watchable” and wrote, “A Franchise Fatigue That’s Hard to Sit Through. Its a mess of outdated humor, a non-existent script & cringeworthy jokes. The lead actors try their best to keep the energy alive. Their comic timing occasionally brings some charm to the otherwise tasteless scenes.”
