The film's performance has been a testament to the power of comedy in Bollywood, and Akshay Kumar's undercover experiment has given fans a unique glimpse into the audience's reaction to the film. As Housefull 5 continues to entertain audiences, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the coming days and whether it will become one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar went undercover to gather public reviews of his latest film, Housefull 5, by wearing a "killer mask" and interacting with moviegoers outside a cinema hall. The audience, unaware of his identity, shared their candid reactions, with many praising the film. Kumar posted a video of his experience on Instagram, describing it as a "mast experience".
The film, which features an ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez, was released on June 6 and is the fifth installment in the "Housefull" franchise. Despite mixed reviews from critics, Housefull 5 has had a strong opening weekend, grossing ₹89.28 crore in India. The film saw growth on Sunday, especially in the south centers, and started on a decent note on Monday, making ₹3.82 crore so far.
The film's total collection now stands at ₹91.32 crore net in India, and it is expected to cross ₹100 crore by the end of the day if it maintains a steady pace. Housefull 5 has also performed well worldwide, collecting ₹87 crore in just two days, surpassing the lifetime collections of recent Bollywood films Bhool Chuk Maaf and Deva. The film has grossed ₹65 crore in India and ₹22 crore from overseas, making it a successful start for the comedy franchise.
The success of Housefull 5 will depend on its performance throughout the week, especially in the coming weekdays and second weekend, as it is India's most expensive comedy film with a budget of around ₹225 crore. With its strong opening and positive word-of-mouth, the film is likely to continue its successful run at the box office.
