Housefull 5 box office collection day 1 (updated live): Akshay Kumar film opens at ₹18 crore, will it beat Housefull 4?
The report states that Housefull 5 had an overall 23.29% Hindi Occupancy on Friday. Will the film beat the opening day collections of its previous installment in the franchise, Housefull 4? Released in 2019, the Akshay Kumar-release had collected ₹19.08 crore.
So far, the Housefull 5 opening day collections have already outscored the day 1 haul of Akshay's January release Sky Force ( ₹11.50 crore).
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala's production banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the comedy stars an ensemble cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet, Johny Lever, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Panday, Dino Morea, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma. It is directed by Tarun Mansukhani.
The film revolves around a murder on a cruise ship. A wealthy billionaire (Ranjeet) is murdered shortly after he announces he will leave his wealth to his successor Jolly. The twist is that there are three Jollys on the cruise - Akshay, Riteish, and Abhishek. Along with them, their girlfriends are all suspects in the murder.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, 'Akshay knows exactly what's expected of him. This is classic Akshay comedy territory, and he makes even the flat writing work. But it's also clear that Sajid is relying far more on his star's charm than on crafting genuinely funny material. Often, the jokes are a joke.'

‘Housefull 5' on OTT: Where to watch Akshay Kumar's comedy drama
Prime Video announced the global streaming premiere of Housefull 5, the fifth chapter of the comedy franchise. Written and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film boasts an ensemble cast of Bollywood heavyweights, including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Nikitin Dheer, and Soundarya Sharma. Housefull 5 is currently streaming exclusively in Hindi on Prime Video across India and in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. The movie blends the franchise's trademark slapstick comedy with murder mystery. The story unfolds aboard a luxurious cruise ship during the extravagant 100th birthday bash of billionaire Mr. Dobriyal (Ranjeet). But the festivities come to a screeching halt with his sudden and mysterious demise. What ensues is a game of chaos as three men—each claiming to be his long-lost son Jolly (played by Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh)—begin a wild race to claim the billionaire's vast fortune. Released on June 06, 2025, Housefull 5 performed decently at the box office, surpassing the ₹100-crore mark. The movie won the box office battle against the much-hyped Mani Ratnam-Kamal Haasan film Thug Life. ALSO READ: 'Housefull 5' day 8 box office collection: Akshay Kumar starrer sees decline in numbers Housefull 5 opened to mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. The Hindu review of the movie said, 'Director Tarun Mansukhani falters in carrying forward the unapologetic tone set by Sajid Khan. Hailing from the Dharma school, Tarun cocks a snook at animal lovers, generates racist jokes, and lets the camera loose on the cleavage but his heavy-handed approach results in diminishing returns. It is like descending into the gutter with the confidence that the clothes will remain unspoiled. The strand of suspense thriller is more potent, but the comic element does not serve it effectively.'

‘Kingdom' day one box office: Vijay Deverakonda's film off to a decent start but fails to beat ‘Liger' record
Vijay Deverakonda's latest film, Kingdom, has gotten off to a decent start at the box office. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri of Jersey fame, the Telugu movie hit the screens on July 31, 2025. According to the movie collected ₹15.50 crore at the box office on its opening day. Kingdom has surpassed The Family Star, which collected ₹5.75 crore on its first day. The movie starred Mrunal Thakur opposite Deverakonda. Kingdom also went past the opening day figure of Khushi, the 2023 romantic drama featuring Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. However, Deverakonda's latest release slightly fell short of the opening-day result of Liger, which released in 2022. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, Liger, which amassed ₹15.95 crore on its first day of theatrical release,eventually went on to become a box office disaster. Kingdom is about a constable who sets out as an undercover spy to bring back his long lost brother. During his pursuit, he faces daunting challenges. Deverakonda was eyeing a comeback with Kingdom, after his previous outings — The Family Star and Khushi — performed underwhelmingly at the box office. However, his latest release has opened to mixed reviews. ALSO READ: Anirudh Ravichander says Vijay Deverakonda's 'Kingdom' will be a 'milestone film' in their careers The Hindu review of the movie said, 'Unlike many half-baked franchise-minded action dramas, Kingdom gives us a fairly complete arc while still laying the groundwork for a sequel. Despite a slightly uneven and unconvincing latter half about the hero and his crown, the film scores with its emotional ambition, immersive craft, and a striking Vijay Deverakonda performance that reminds you why he matters. If only it had held its nerve till the very end, this could have been a knockout.'
