Akshay Kumar’s latest comedic offering, Housefull 5, has taken the global box office by storm, achieving a remarkable feat by surpassing the lifetime worldwide collection of his previous film, Sky Force, in a mere four days. The fifth installment of the popular comedy franchise has entered the coveted ₹100 crore club in India and continues its impressive run overseas, signaling a major win for the makers.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 has amassed an estimated ₹160 crore worldwide within its opening four days. This includes a robust ₹100.50 crore net and ₹120.50 crore gross in India, complemented by a substantial ₹40 crore from international markets. This early success firmly places Housefull 5 ahead of Sky Force, which concluded its theatrical run with a worldwide gross of approximately ₹149 crore.
The film, a star-studded comedy whodunit, opened strong, collecting ₹24.35 crore on Friday, followed by significant jumps to ₹32.38 crore on Saturday and ₹35.10 crore on Sunday. While Monday saw a predictable drop in collections, earning around ₹13.15 crore, the film’s total India net collection still stands at an impressive ₹104.98 crore, solidifying its position as one of the fastest films of 2025 to cross the century mark.
Industry analysts are closely watching Housefull 5‘s trajectory, with trade experts highlighting its strong performance in mass circuits as a key driver of its success. The unique dual-climax idea, with two versions of the film (5A and 5B) offering different endings and killers, appears to have piqued audience interest and contributed to the film’s widespread appeal.
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 boasts an expansive ensemble cast, including Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangda Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, and Chunky Pandey, alongside Akshay Kumar. Despite mixed reviews, the film’s comedic timing and the sheer star power of its cast have resonated with audiences seeking light-hearted entertainment.
Akshay Kumar himself has expressed his joy over the film’s overwhelming response, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses from his dance rehearsals and thanking fans for their love and support. As Housefull 5 continues its theatrical run, it aims to further climb the ranks of Bollywood’s highest-grossing films of 2025, with its next target being Salman Khan’s Sikandar, which has collected ₹184 crore globally. The stage is set for a thrilling box office battle in the coming days.
