They came, they joked, they conquered! Despite all the noise, memes, and criticism, Housefull 5 has stormed into theatres and delivered a box office punch no one saw coming. Housefull 5 has done the unthinkable—it’s laughing all the way to the bank. Yes, despite the noise around its outdated jokes and cringey humour, the audience has shown up in large numbers, proving once again that when it comes to masala entertainment, nothing beats the pull of a star-studded comedy.
Akshay Kumar leading the charge alongside Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and a lineup of veteran stars like Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, and Johnny Lever, and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the fifth instalment in the Housefull franchise has delivered a solid blow to its detractors with strong collections across its first three days.

Housefull 5 had a fantastic weekend 1 at the box office. The audience, those who have bought tickets and gone to the theatres, clearly liked the film. From Friday onwards, the collections kept climbing, with Saturday and Sunday showing an impressive upward trend. That kind of growth means only one thing: word of mouth is working. Here’s what Housefull 5 managed to earn over its opening weekend:
That brings the total to ₹91.83 crore (nett) in just three days. Add taxes, and the gross figure stands at ₹108.35 crore. That’s a massive win for a film that most people didn’t expect much from.
Housefull 5 Creates A New Franchise Record
What makes Sunday’s numbers even more special is that Housefull 5 has now set a new record for the highest single-day collection in the history of the franchise. With ₹35.10 crore earned on Day 3, it outpaced Housefull 4’s ₹34.56 crore haul (which was made during Diwali, no less).
Breaking that record without the advantage of a holiday release? Now that’s impressive.
Housefull 5 Becomes One Of Akshay Kumar’s Top Weekend Openers
This performance further solidifies Akshay Kumar’s position as a box office titan. Housefull 5 is now officially his third biggest opening weekend in India, only behind Mission Mangal and 2.0 (Hindi version), both of which had 4-day extended weekends.
Here’s a snapshot of Akshay’s biggest weekend performers:
- Mission Mangal – ₹97.56 crore (4 days)
- 2.0 (Hindi) – ₹97.25 crore (4 days)
- Housefull 5 – ₹91.83 crore (3 days)
- Kesari – ₹78.07 crore (4 days)
- Sooryavanshi – ₹77.08 crore
Housefull 5 Set For A Long, Strong Run Ahead
With no major Bollywood releases in the immediate pipeline, Housefull 5 is in a great position to keep the momentum going. If the weekday numbers hold steady and the second weekend sees another jump, the film could easily cross the ₹150 crore mark.
It’s clear that audiences—especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities—are loving the chaotic, slapstick humour. While the film may not cater to “woke” sensibilities, it definitely connects with the masses.
Housefull 5 Reminds Us Why Laughter Still Works At The Box Office
At the end of the day, Housefull 5 proves one simple thing: not every film needs to be a critically acclaimed masterpiece to become a hit. It’s here to entertain—and that’s exactly what it’s doing.
Whether you’re laughing with it or at it, the box office registers are ringing loud. And that’s a win no matter how you look at it. With Housefull 5 crossing ₹90 crore in just 3 days, the big question now is: How far can it go?
