Housefull 5 Box Movie Review – A Complete Breakdown of Bollywood’s Loudest Comedy
Welcome to our detailed Housefull 5 box movie review. As the fifth film in Bollywood’s most outrageous comedy series, Housefull 5 arrives with great expectations and even greater confusion. But does it deliver genuine laughs or just noise? Let’s break it all down—from cast performances and storyline to box office collections and critical verdicts.
🎬 What’s the Story in Housefull 5?
The plot of Housefull 5 revolves around five identical lookalikes embroiled in a madcap maze of weddings, mistaken identities, and even a murder mystery. The twist? You can watch the movie with two different endings—5A and 5B—a bold move that Bollywood rarely attempts.
🌟 Cast & Performances
This review wouldn’t be complete without talking about the huge star cast that fuels the mayhem:
- Akshay Kumar: The king of slapstick comedy brings his usual energy and chaos.
- Riteish Deshmukh: A consistent performer across the series, delivering impeccable timing.
- Chunky Pandey, Jacqueline Fernandez, Pooja Hegde and others fill in the gaps with glamour and gags.
But unfortunately, Housefull 5 gives limited room for serious performances. Most actors are used as props in chaotic sequences, especially in the second half.
😂 Humor: Loud, Familiar, and Over-the-Top
As expected, Housefull 5’s comedy is full of double entendres, exaggerated expressions, and noisy background scores. Some of it works, especially for fans of the franchise. But a large part of the audience felt it was too loud, too predictable, and at times, even cringe-worthy.

📈 Housefull 5 Box Office Report
Despite lukewarm reviews, Housefull 5’s box office collection is solid. Here’s how it performed over the weekend:
| Day | India Net Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | ₹24 crore |
| Day 2 | ₹31 crore |
| Day 3 | ₹32 crore |
| Total Weekend | ₹87 crore |
It also grossed nearly ₹100 crore worldwide within the first 3 days—helped by brand value, Akshay’s star power, and a long weekend.
🎥 Direction & Technicals
Tarun Mansukhani, the director, does try something new with dual endings. However, the film suffers from disjointed storytelling, rapid transitions, and a screenplay that’s more interested in skits than structure.
🎶 Music Review
The soundtrack is forgettable. Tracks like “Disco Shaadi” are meant for party reels, but lack emotional or melodic depth. Earlier Housefull movies had catchier tunes.
🔗 External Opinions
Let’s link out to a few external reviews and news sources:

🔚 Final Verdict: Housefull or Wasteful?
If you enjoy chaos, nonsensical humor, and Akshay Kumar’s trademark madness, then Housefull 5 might entertain you. But for those expecting smart comedy or a meaningful plot, this film offers little.
Our Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
