Akshay Kumar goes undercover, wears killer mask to check Housefull 5 public reviews outside theatre. Watch
Tarun Mansukhani's Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, and Sonam Bajwa, was released in theatres this Friday. Akshay seemingly had a ball when he recently went to a theatre in Mumbai to anonymously hear the reviews for his film firsthand from the audience. He even summed it up as a 'mast experience'.

Akshay posted a video on his Instagram telling fans how he recently stood outside the theatre to know Housefull 5 reviews first-hand. He wrote, 'Bas yun hi I decided to wear the killer mask and interview people coming out of the Housefull5 show at Bandra today. Pakda jaane wala thaa end mein but bhaag gaya us se pehle. Mast experience. (I decided to wear the killer mask and interview people coming out of the Housefull 5 show at Bandra today, just like that. I almost got caught at the end, but I ran before that. Fun experience.)'
A post shared by Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar)
In the video, Akshay can be seen dressed in a shirt and jeans with the mask from the film helping him stay anonymous. He is accompanied by other men in masks, also asking for reviews. He asks the people streaming out of the theatre if they liked the film. In the video, many can be heard telling him they liked the film despite not recognising him or his voice. At the end, a woman who seemed to recognise him looked excited as she filmed him with a large smile on her face.
'AK sir can do this,' commented one fan under his video. Another wrote, 'No cut in the video, fair public review.' One fan wished she was there, writing, 'Kya log hai itni clear voice nahi pehchaan sakte kaash me waha hoti (How did no one recognise his voice, wish I was there).' One joked that he should've removed the mask at the end as a surprise for fans.
The fifth instalment of the Housefull franchise had a strong start at the box office. According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹55 crore net in India and ₹87 crore worldwide in two days. The film is expected to perform well on Sunday too. Housefull 5 has two different endings with two different killers, depending on the theatre it's watched at. Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever also star in it.

Honey Singh mocks Badshah for calling his ‘I'd rather make babies' comment about Dua Lipa a compliment
Singer and rapper Badshah recently received backlash for a comment he made about Dua Lipa. He later issued a clarification, saying his remark was actually meant as a compliment for the pop star. However, the internet wasn't convinced. Now, Honey Singh has also reacted to Badshah's clarification — and his response has left fans in splits. (Also Read: Badshah ends over a decade-long feud with Honey Singh: 'I want to leave that grudge behind') After facing criticism for his 'I'd rather make babies with her' comment about Dua Lipa, Badshah explained, 'I think one of the most beautiful compliments you can give a woman you really admire is to wish for her to mother your children. Meri soch nahi, tumhari soch saamne aayi hai (Not my thoughts, but your thinking came forward).' Soon after, the internet slammed the clarification, calling it a 'bad clarification.' A media portal shared the quote on Instagram, and reacting to the post, Honey Singh wrote, 'Genius 😂👏👏' — seemingly mocking his rival's explanation. Fans picked up on the sarcasm, with one writing, 'Paaji using sarcasm,' while another commented, 'Paaji tussi great ho,' followed by laughing emojis from others. Honey and Badshah were once part of the rap group Mafia Mundeer, alongside Ikka, Lil Golu, and Raftaar. After a public fallout led to the group's split, the two have often taken indirect (and sometimes direct) digs at each other on social media and in interviews. In 2024, during a concert in Dehradun, Badshah expressed a desire to end the long-standing feud, saying, 'There was a phase in my life when I held a grudge against one person, and now I want to call it quits and leave that behind – and that's Honey Singh. I was unhappy because of some misunderstanding, but I realised that when we were together, there were far fewer people trying to bring us together than those trying to break us apart. Today, I just want to let everyone know I've moved on, and I wish him all the best.' However, it appears Honey isn't quite ready to bury the hatchet just yet, as he recently took another subtle dig at Badshah during a concert on his Millionaire tour. On the work front, Honey Singh's recent tracks in Housefull 5 (Laal Pari) and Raid 2 (Money Money) have become chartbusters. Badshah, meanwhile, surprised fans with his dance moves in his latest track Galiyon Ke Ghalib.

WTC Final: Keshav Maharaj, Nathan Lyon heap praise on each other ahead of Lords face off
Nathan Lyon and Keshav Maharaj South African spinner Keshav Maharaj and Australian spinner Nathan Lyon exchanged mutual admiration ahead of their upcoming ICC World Test Championship final at Lord's on June 11. The two veteran spinners, considered among the best in modern cricket, shared their respect for each other's achievements and impact on the sport, particularly in finger spin bowling. Maharaj revealed he had personally congratulated Lyon when the Australian reached his 400th Test wicket milestone, acknowledging his influence on the sport. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I have always been a huge fan of Nathan Lyon. Huge respect, I think, when he got his, was it 400th? I sent him a DM on Instagram saying, you know, thank you for leading the way with regards to fingerspin and making youngsters believe that it is not only leg-spinners that are wanted out there. I mean, what he has done for Australian cricket and to that bowling lineup is probably beyond words," Maharaj stated. Lyon reciprocated the appreciation, praising Maharaj's bowling technique and expressing mutual respect. "Yeah, that is obviously very kind words from him. I have had some great chats with Keshav, and the respect goes both ways. Each and every one has got their own journey and the way Maharaj goes about it and the shape that he puts on it is incredible in my eyes," Lyon responded. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

His best figures stand at 8/50, with 24 five-wicket hauls and five ten-wicket hauls in his career. Maharaj commended Lyon's cricket intelligence and bowling technique, while Lyon acknowledged Maharaj as an underrated threat in international cricket. "To be honest with you, I think he is actually a massive threat that doesn't get spoken about. I think he is invaluable for Australia," Lyon said about Maharaj. Maharaj stands on the brink of two historic achievements. He needs just two more wickets to become the first South African spinner to reach 200 Test wickets and six more to achieve 300 international wickets. The South African spinner has claimed 198 wickets in 57 Tests at an average of 29.68, with his best figures being 9/129. He has also secured 11 five-wicket hauls during his Test career. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? In international cricket across all formats, the 35-year-old Maharaj has accumulated 294 wickets with an average of 29.74, maintaining the same best figures of 9/129. While Maharaj's record in ICC tournament knockouts shows three wickets in four matches at an average of 39.33, he maintains an impressive economy rate of 4.91, with his best figures being 2/33. The upcoming World Test Championship final presents an opportunity for both teams to make history, with Australia aiming to become the first team to successfully defend the WTC title, while South Africa seeks their first-ever world championship title in cricket.
