Producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s unique marketing strategy — the film’s dual-ending format, featuring Housefull 5A and 5B with different murderers — appears to be paying off. This ambitious concept, reportedly in the works for 30 years, has generated buzz and likely helped push the film to a robust ₹9 crore on its second Saturday, defying the usual trend for films facing such criticism.
Housefull 5 is a comedy thriller directed and co-written by Tarun Mansukhani, produced under the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner by Sajid Nadiadwala, Warda Nadiadwala, and Firuzi Khan. It marks the fifth chapter in the franchise that has become synonymous with loud humor and star-studded ensembles.
The film boasts an extensive cast including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever. The plot centers around multiple imposters claiming to be the son of a deceased billionaire, all vying for his fortune aboard a luxury cruise ship — blending murder mystery with the franchise’s signature comedy style.
Despite divided opinions on the film’s humor and narrative, Housefull 5’s box office numbers and fan enthusiasm suggest the madness is far from over.
