Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Housefull 5' continues to bring in steady numbers at the box office, even in its third week. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹2.25 crore (India net) on Day 16 (June 21), bringing its total earnings to ₹172.35 crore across all languages.
Strong Start, Decent Hold
The film began with a ₹24 crore opening on its first Friday and soared over the weekend, collecting ₹87.5 crore in the first three days alone. Although it witnessed a predictable dip on weekdays, Housefull 5 closed its first week with a solid ₹127.25 crore.
The second week saw a natural decline with collections amounting to ₹40.85 crore, yet the film held well on weekends, earning ₹9.5 crore on its second Saturday and ₹11.5 crore on its second Sunday.
Steady Pace in Week 3
On third Friday (Day 15), it minted Rs 2 crore, followed by a slight uptick on Saturday (Day 16) with ₹2.25 crore, thanks to weekend footfalls.
The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 19.78% on Saturday, with morning shows at 7.96%, afternoon at 20.15%, and evening at 23.78%, indicating continued interest among family audiences.

The film also features Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, and Chitrangada Singh, among others.
ETimes review for the film reads, "Barring Riteish who manages to entertain, both Abhishek Bachchan and Akshay Kumar get little to play with as far as words are concerned. The women have nothing much to do except for upping the glam quotient and being the butt of several adult jokes. Sonam Bajwa, Fardeen Khan and
Dino Morea
act sensibly.
Shreyas
Talpade, Johnny Lever and Chunky Panday are criminally wasted. Talpade just disappears for a major part of the film, but we can't expect logic here. Can we?."
With minimal competition at the box office currently, 'Housefull 5' may continue to draw in collections, particularly over the upcoming Sunday.

The Madras High Court has issued a notice to the makers of Nani 's HIT: The Third Case based on a petition filed by Tamil script writer and author Vimalavelan, who alleges that the film is an unauthorised adaptation of his original story. Vimalavelan, who co-writes with his wife under the pen name Sonia Vimal, claims that the film has been lifted from their registered script, titled Agent 11. In his plea, Vimalavelan has sought 20% of the total profits earned by the film, in addition to `1 crore as compensation for the alleged copyright violation. The statement from the South Indian Film Writers Association, which Vimalavelan shared with us, read, 'He had claimed that the theft of his work had caused him great loss and great mental anguish, and he had demanded justice.' An internal team within the association, having read the story concluded that there are similarities between the film and Vimalavelan's script. What happened? Vimalavelan claimed that, back in August 2022, he had sent the synopsis of his script to Nani's mail ID, with the intention of a possible collaboration. There was no response from the actor, and Vimalavelan published his story as a novel, Agent V, in October 2022. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He further states that the script, titled Agent 11, had been officially registered with the South Indian Film Writers Association.

They were none other than Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan , in the romantic drama 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya'.

A Love Triangle on Screen Directed by Dharmesh Darshan, Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya brought together Karisma and Abhishek alongside Akshay Kumar in a classic love triangle. The film tells the story of Pooja (Karisma), who sacrifices her rising career for a marriage with Shiv (Abhishek). Issues happen in their relationship as misunderstandings and suspicion take center stage. Believing Shiv is unfaithful, Pooja leaves and eventually finds solace in Raj (Akshay), a kind-hearted man who falls deeply in love with her. Shiv returns just when Pooja starts rebuilding her life. This forces her to choose between the past and the present. At last she chooses to reunite with her husband. A Glimpse of Real-Life Romance What made the film even more intriguing at the time was the real-life engagement between Karisma and Abhishek. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트 최대 할인 지원해드려요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo The couple was briefly engaged.
