‘Housefull 5’ Trailer Out Now: A Star-Studded Whodunit With Signature Madness and Mega Laughs

The wait is finally over — the trailer for Housefull 5 has dropped, and it’s everything fans of the franchise could have hoped for and more: madness, mystery, mayhem, and a mansion full of megastars. Releasing on 6 June 2025, this fifth installment in the beloved comedy series ups the ante with a bigger ensemble, a wild plot, and a lavish setting on a luxury yacht that quickly turns into a crime scene.

The trailer kicks off with Nana Patekar’s voiceover, setting the tone for the chaos to come. A billionaire is celebrating his 100th birthday aboard a floating palace when he suddenly dies mid-celebration, just as he’s about to read out his will. The three male leads — Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan — find themselves at the center of the chaos, with no memory of who they are or what just happened. Someone spiked their drinks, and now they're the prime suspects in a murder they can’t remember committing.

What follows is classic Housefull territory: mistaken identities, double entendres, flashy dance numbers, over-the-top action, and slapstick galore. But this time, the stakes are murderously high. Cue the entry of two powerhouses — Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt — as eccentric investigators brought in to untangle the web of confusion. The yacht-bound whodunit takes on Knives Out meets Murder Mystery vibes, but filtered through the zany, larger-than-life lens that the Housefull franchise is known for.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 boasts one of the biggest Bollywood ensembles in recent memory. With Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangda Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Ranjeet — the trailer promises a full-on circus of confusion and comic chaos. As expected, social media is abuzz with reactions, with fans praising the madcap energy and calling it a “total paisa vasool entertainer.” Whether it turns out to be a smart spoof or just shameless fun, Housefull 5 looks set to be this summer’s big-screen comedy event.
