Akshay Kumar Box Office Collection Soars with Housefull 5
The film's success can be attributed to its ensemble cast and the popularity of the Housefull franchise, which has a loyal fan base. With Akshay Kumar's star power and the film's entertaining moments, Housefull 5 is expected to continue performing well at the box office, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.
Akshay Kumar's latest film, Housefull 5, has collected a whopping Rs 23 crore on its first day, surpassing the opening day haul of its predecessors, Housefull 4 and Sky Force, with a 28.88% occupancy rate and the highest footfall during night shows.

The story of Housefull 5 follows three individuals named Jolly, who emerge as potential suspects in a murder mystery on a cruise ship. The film has been praised for its memorable moments, including a Marilyn Monroe-inspired scene with Nana Patekar and a cameo by Sanjay Dutt. However, the movie's crass jokes, slapstick comedy, and convoluted plot have been criticized for being too loud and formulaic.
Housefull 5 has earned around 24.00 Cr India net on its first day for all languages, with an overall 28.88% Hindi occupancy on Friday, June 06, 2025. The film's box office collection is expected to perform well, with the top 10 Hindi net collection movies led by Housefull 5 with 24 Cr, followed by Chhaava with 210.3 Cr.
As the film continues to run in theaters, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the coming days and whether it will be able to maintain its momentum at the box office. With its large cast and some memorable moments, Housefull 5 is sure to entertain audiences, despite its flaws.
