What Makes Housefull 5 Stand Out?
One interesting twist this time is that the film was released in two versions — Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B — each featuring a different ending. This unique approach created extra buzz and encouraged fans to experience the movie more than once. Overall, the franchise has a unique fan base that worked in favor of Housefull 5.
Housefull 5 Review
Praneet Samaiya from Cinetales called the film Entertaining and gave the film 3.5 stars. He wrote, ‘Housefull 5 is a hilarious rollercoaster entertainer that is packed with laugh-out-loud moments, good performances, and an unexpected climax. Akshay Kumar’s fans are in for a treat with this comic-thriller.’
If you’re a fan of the Housefull series, you’ll find everything you love about it here — slapstick comedy, crazy mix-ups, and loads of laughs. Akshay Kumar and the rest cast with their trademark comic timing, adds their flavor to the madness. The actresses bring fresh energy and glamor that balances out the chaos.
While the plot is predictable and the humor may not be for everyone, Housefull 5 delivers as a lighthearted entertainer. The two different endings add a fun twist, but overall, the film stays true to the franchise’s formula.
Final Thoughts
Critics may have mixed opinions, but audiences have shown they’re enjoying the film. With Eid approaching and little competition, Housefull 5 looks set for a strong weekend and potentially more box office success. The Day 2 is all set for over Rs 32 crore collection.
