Housefull 5 Story
The story revolves around a centenarian billionaire who decides to leave his entire inheritance of £69 billion to his son from his first wife, named “Jolly.” He throws a party on his 100th birthday on a luxurious yacht. That’s when the madness begins. Three Jollys enter the scene with Riteish Deshmukh as Jalabuddin, aka Jolly 1, Abhishek Bachchan returns as Jalbhusan, aka Jolly 2, and Akshay Kumar plays Julius, aka Jolly 3. Each step up, insisting they are the real Jolly.
Dev (played by Fardeen Khan), son of his second wife, decides to do a DNA test. What follows is a rapid-fire sequence of mix-ups, mistaken identities, loud arguments, and even louder costumes. The party escalates quickly into one giant mess. After a night of wild partying, someone slips something into their drinks, leaving the trio with each other’s partners and no memory of what happened. A doctor who was assigned to do a DNA test was murdered in mysterious circumstances. Now, it’s not just about laughs—it’s about finding a killer.
Housefull 5 Review
Director Tarun Mansukhani should be applauded for managing such a big starcast. The script is not exceptional, and logic is optional. The situational comedy, double-meaning dialogues may not be liked by everyone, but there are hilarious moments at regular intervals, and a killer angle keeps you engaged throughout. Sajid Nadiadwala’s screenplay is hilariously entertaining. The music of the film is good, and the visuals give you a vibrant feel. Housefull is the first Indian franchise to get its fifth installment. The loyal fan base of the franchise will surely like this fifth part.
Housefull 5 Performance
The comedy is Akshay Kumar’s forte. He is a legend in comedy. Even with Housefull 5, Akshay Kumar excels with his terrific performance, punchy one-liners, and expressions. Riteish Deshmukh is another fantastic actor. After playing an antagonist in Raid 2, he is back in a completely different avatar, showing his versatility. Riteish Deshmukh played his part with utmost perfection. Abhishek Bachchan also did splendid work in Housefull 5. His dialogue delivery is good.
Good to see Fardeen Khan back on the big screen. He did a decent job. Dino Morea, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Johny Lever, and Nana Patekar played their part well. They elevate the screen with their presence. Chunky Pandey and Shreyas Talpade could have been utilized more. Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakri, Soundarya Sharma, and Chitrangada Singh did well and added glamor to the film.
Final Verdict
Overall, 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 comedy is your forte, you will surely enjoy Housefull 5.
