The comedy film Housefull 5 is ready to roll into theaters on June 6, 2025. Tarun Mansukhani has directed it and produced it by Sajid Nadiadwala. Housefull 5 will turn out to be a grander film than its earlier versions. Housefull 5 will star a powerhouse cast with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, and many more. The multi-starrer is supposed to set new benchmarks for the Indian box office. Let’s dive into what this multi-starrer is looking to achieve as it becomes a franchise that boasts of success in each installment.
The Housefull franchise has been a consistent performer at the box office for the last 14 years. With four movies under its belt, the series is a rare example of Bollywood’s enduring comedy franchises. From laughter-inducing storylines to ensemble casts, the movies have garnered immense popularity. Here’s a quick recap of their box office journey so far:
Housefull 4: ₹206 crores (Hit)
Housefull 3: ₹107.7 crores (Plus)
Housefull 2: ₹114 crores (Super Hit)
Housefull: ₹74.4 crores (Hit)
With a cumulative box office collection of ₹502.1 crores so far, the franchise is eyeing the ₹1000 crore mark.
What Makes Housefull 5 Bigger and Better?
According to reports, filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala is not leaving anything loose in making Housefull 5 the most ambitious of his franchise. With an estimated cost of ₹300 crores, it will be both the most expensive as well as the most lavish ever in the series. For the team, that staggering amount will surely make waves at the box office when it is released.
The cast itself is enough to get the fans excited. Besides Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, franchise regulars, we will see Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, and Dino Morea. With such talented actors, the movie promises a laughter riot with great performances.
Target 1: Becoming the Highest-Grossing Houseful Movie
Housefull 5 needs to reach ₹250 crore at the domestic box office to break the records within its own franchise. By doing so, it automatically will become the highest-grossing film in the series. With the popularity of the cast and the extravagant value of production, this becomes an achievable target.
The trailer of the movie, which is expected to be released soon, will play a crucial role in building hype among audiences. If the buzz stays strong until its release, Housefull 5 could easily surpass the ₹300 crore mark, setting a new standard for comedy films in Bollywood.
Target 2: Continuing the Franchise’s Success Streak
While the Housefull franchise has had a remarkable run at the box office, not every installment was equally successful. For instance, Housefull 3, though profitable, couldn’t achieve a “hit” status like the other films. Housefull 5 now carries the pressure to maintain the streak and add another feather to Sajid Nadiadwala’s cap.
Success in today’s competition at the box office is not at all easy. With a sea of expectations from the spectators and the huge production cost involved, the movie has the task of delivering quality content with mass appeal. The presence of multiple stars and high production value gives Housefull 5 an edge, but viewership will decide its future.
Target 3: Marching Towards ₹1000 Crores
One of the biggest landmarks for any Bollywood franchise is when it crosses ₹1000 crores in domestic box office collections. While several franchises like Baahubali and KGF have already achieved this feat, Housefull is on its way to joining the elite club.
So far, the franchise has minted₹502.1 crores, and with Housefull 5 expected to collect over₹300 crores, the total could climb past₹800 crores. If the film exceeds expectations and performs even better, Housefull might be one step closer to the coveted ₹1000 crore milestone.
