Housefull 5 Movie Review: Hugely entertaining Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea's performances are ‘jolly' good
Housefull 5 is a bit of an overstretch and sometimes you can find it mindless too, but with Abhishek Bachchan's stunning performance and Chitrangada Singh's swag, I promise you will have a 'jolly' good time. And how can we forget Nana Patekar who adds a dash of thrill to this film. read more Language: Hindi Director: Tarun Mansukhani Cast: Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, 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 Housefull 5 may be illogical for our refined taste for cinema, but don't you think this mindless fun is very important in our mundane life? And what are theatrical releases for? Entertaining, right? Then why go into the story line. Though again it isn't atrocious like our previous theatrical releases in the last few months. It has its share of comedy, thrill, romance and the feel-good factor. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A still from Housefull 5 Housefull 5 is not just a comedy, it's a murder mystery too and full of suspense. You will be surprised to find out who the actual killer is. Too many actors or rather I would call them entertainers, but it isn't a holy mess. In fact, it has its share of suspense too. A hugely ambitious project, with 19 actors in one film and one frame can get a little annoying, but I assure you there isn't a moment of monotony. The plot starts with billionaire Ranjeet Dobriyal (Ranjeet). This man has a lot of money and lives the life of a king. His 100th birthday celebration was supposed to take place on a cruise, but he passed away just a day before his birthday. Everybody loves Ranjeet Dobriyal for his money. In his will he had mentioned that all his money will go to his son, Jolly, from his first wife. This is quite a shock from his son from his second marriage, Dev (Fardeen Khan) and his board of directors played by Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea and the ever charming Chitrangada Singh. Maya (Chitrangada Singh) knows how to use her charm to her advantage. But Dev (Fardeen Khan) waits for Jolly's arrival. But there are three Jollys Jalbuddin (Riteish Deshmukh), Jalbushan (Abhishek Bachchan), and Julius (Akshay Kumar) that turn up with their wives. The story first revolves around finding the real Jolly. Then there are multiple murders that take place. The movie will transport you to the 90s film, full of fun and some jokes which are sometimes cringe too. A still from Housefull 5 Now talking about the negatives of the film, Housefull 5 has unnecessarily objectified female actors and that too at a very demeaning level. Such fine actors like Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff who are known for their craft have been underused. Looks like the makers were feeling sleepy while writing their characters and hence they fell asleep leaving their stories totally undercooked. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Though the second half is a bit of an overstretch, the movie ends with a solid twist. On the whole, there is nothing that is very immersive about the film. But in an age when Bollywood is suffering from a huge bankruptcy of ideas, this film can be watched at least for once or you can wait for it to release on one of the digital platforms. Rating: 2 and half out of 5 WATCH the trailer of Housefull 5 here:

Thug Life Box Office Collections: Kamal Haasan starrer is Dead on Arrival with a poor first day
Thug Life is a dead-on-arrival at the box office, with the film taking a below par opening and then followed it with poor initial audience reception. The Kamal Hassan starrer grossed a mere Rs. 17 crore approx on its first day at the Indian box office. The film had underwhelming advances, but even they were better than what it has finally ended up with, due to negligible walkup business during the day. Tamil Nadu made up for most of the first day collection with Rs. 13 crore. From advances, it was expected to collect around Rs. 15-16 crore, but it fell significantly short of that. The first day of business in the state is similar to Indian 2. While that film had some numbers outside Tamil Nadu while this has nothing to show for. The film missed out on a Karnataka release due to the controversy surrounding recent remarks made by Kamal Haasan, but even where it was released, it was a non-starter. Thug Life marks the second major disappointment for Kamal Hassan after Indian 2, third considering Indian 3 is already written off. The legendary actor made a comeback to the forefront of the Tamil box office same week three years ago, with a mega blockbuster Vikram. On paper, his follow-up lineup to Vikram looked highly promising, but it has failed spectacularly. Despite the dismal theatrical performance, the producers of Thug Life are insulated from financial loss, as they fetched handsome prices for the non-theatrical rights. The losses will be with those who paid those prices, as they are certainly not going to recover them, and with the exhibition sector, missing action during the peak summer period. The First Day Box Office Collections of Thug Life are as follows:
