Housefull 5 has picked up speed on Saturday after a strong opening day. The film recorded a sharp jump in numbers, clearly benefitting from festive footfalls and word-of-mouth among its target audience. If the trend holds, it’s heading towards an impressive ₹90 crore weekend — a number that would easily place it among the year’s top openers.
Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Johny Lever, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Dino Morea, Chunky Pandey, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chitrangada Singh, and Nargis Fakhri are among the strong cast members of this franchise. The combination of familiar faces and new chaos seems to have landed well with the audience.

On Saturday, Housefull 5 collected ₹32.38 crore, which is a considerable jump from its Day 1 tally of ₹24.35 crore. With this, the film’s total stands at ₹56.73 crore nett in just two days. For a fifth installment of a comedy franchise, this kind of growth is not just rare — it’s remarkable.
This upward curve also indicates that the film has found its audience. While Friday saw good occupancy in metro cities and major multiplex chains, Saturday saw that wave expand. Smaller towns, single screens, and mass centers joined in with stronger turnout, especially during evening and night shows.

Why Housefull 5 Is Striking A Chord
One major reason for Housefull 5’s strong start is timing. Releasing during Eid weekend has turned out to be a strategic advantage. With families and groups looking for something entertaining and light-hearted to watch together, this broad-appeal comedy hit the right note.
Another factor is the curiosity surrounding the two-climax release — Housefull 5A and 5B. While the overall plot remains the same, each version wraps up with a different ending. It’s a rare experiment in commercial Hindi cinema, and it’s paying off. Some moviegoers are even returning for a second viewing just to catch the alternate version.
Add to that the nostalgia factor — Housefull is a brand that audiences are familiar with. It doesn’t act like it’s not something it is. It promises comedy, confusion, and larger-than-life madness, and that’s exactly what it delivers.
Housefull 5 Review
Critics have largely been mixed in their response. Some have pointed out the dated humour, predictable gags, and loud storytelling. But this hasn’t stopped fans from enjoying the ride. For viewers who grew up watching the earlier Housefull films, this one feels like a return to familiar territory.
Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh continue to be the beating heart of the franchise, and they’re in form here. Their comic timing, built over years of collaboration, still delivers the laughs. The addition of Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff brings in fresh dynamics. Nana Patekar, in particular, is drawing attention for his eccentric performance, perfectly in tune with the film’s over-the-top universe.
The female cast, including Jacqueline Fernandez, Soundarya Sharma, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri, aren’t given heavy dramatic arcs, but they do get their moments of fun. The team maintains a strong level of energy and a steady tempo.
Housefull 5 Weekend Forecast
Given the current trend, Housefull 5 is poised to cross the ₹90 crore mark by the end of Sunday. With strong advance bookings and positive word-of-mouth driving footfalls, the film’s Sunday performance could even outperform Saturday.
If that happens, it would be one of the highest-grossing opening weekends for a Bollywood comedy in recent years — and a major win for the Housefull brand, which has defied expectations time and again.
There’s also the possibility that the film will continue to perform well into the weekdays. With minimal competition at the box office and audiences still in a festive mood, the film has a clear runway ahead.
Housefull 5’s Strong Start
Housefull 5 might not be for everyone, but for those looking for silly, over-the-top entertainment, it delivers exactly that. It’s loud, chaotic, and packed with the kind of humour that’s meant to be enjoyed in a crowded theatre. With over ₹56 crore in the bag already and a ₹90 crore weekend within reach, the film has made its mark.
As the numbers come in for Day 3, all eyes will be on how far this comedy juggernaut can go — but for now, the message is clear: the audience is here for the madness.
