Housefull 5 Day 1 India Box Office: Akshay Kumar fronted comedy nets a good Rs 22 crore on Friday; To make big gains over holiday weekend
Akshay Kumar fronted Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, has taken a good start at the Indian box office. Based on early estimates, the film's opening day collections are around Rs 22 crore net. This can be taken as a win for Akshay Kumar, who has been in search for a solid theatrical hit. Initially, advance bookings suggested the film might struggle to cross Rs 20 crore. But strong on-the-day bookings have pushed it past that mark with ease. Housefull 5 boasts a massive ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Abhishek Bachchan. The comedy seems to have struck a chord, especially in mass pockets, where walk-in audiences have boosted its numbers. The Rs 22 crore opening is a promising sign, placing it among Akshay's biggest openers in a leading role. Only Mission Mangal, Sooryavanshi and Gold have registered better openings. The Day Wise Box Office Collections Of Housefull 5 Are As Under The opening day number of Housefull 5 proves that the Housefull franchise continues to have a loyal fanbase. With holidays ahead, Housefull 5 is poised for a strong showing. Advance bookings for Saturday and Sunday look robust, with estimates pointing to a weekend haul of around Rs 85 crore net. This would be very good for a comedy film in today's market. Slapstick comedy is difficult to hit the right notes and that's the reason we have such few comedies releasing these days. The initials of Housefull 5 show that there is an audience for unadulterated comedy ensembles and producers should be more fearless in staging such ensemble comedies. The movie's real test begins after the weekend. Ticket prices will drop on weekdays, and Housefull 5 needs to maintain steady collections to keep the momentum going. To emerge a hit, the film must aim for the Rs 200 crore net mark in India. The good news is that there is no Bollywood release until Sitaare Zameen Par and that means that the comic-caper will enjoy an open run. For Akshay Kumar, Housefull 5's opening is a ray of hope. After a string of underperformers, Housefull 5 could be his biggest post-pandemic grosser.

Bhagyashree Gets Surprise Proposal From Husband After 35 Years Of Marriage
Last Updated: Bhagyashree shares dreamy photos as husband Himalay Dassani finally proposes after 35 years. The surprise gesture has fans gushing over their timeless romance. Bhagyashree and Himalay Dassani's love story is one for the ages—rooted in youthful beginnings, tested by time, and sealed with a bond that has only grown stronger over three decades. But as the Maine Pyaar Kiya star recently revealed, there was one thing missing all these years: a proper proposal. And now, 30 years into their marriage, Himalay has finally gone down on one knee—and fans can't get enough. On Friday, Bhagyashree took to her Instagram to share a heart-melting moment straight out of a romantic movie. During a photoshoot, the actress was taken by surprise when her husband walked in, music playing, and dropped to his knees to propose in front of the crew. The moment was captured in a series of candid and dreamy photographs by photographer Prashant Samtani. The background score? A soulful rendition of 'Kabhi Usey Noor Noor Kehta Hoon"—though Bhagyashree humorously quipped that 'Diljit would have cried to hear this version tho!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhagyashree (@ In her caption, she lovingly wrote, 'Secret let out… No matter what everyone feels about Himalayji being a romantic husband… he wasn't so earlier and I kept telling him that he never really had proposed to me. So here I was, midst of a photoshoot, and to my surprise he just interrupted us with this song… But yay! Hubby decided to finally go on his knees." The internet swooned over the gesture, flooding the comments with warmth and admiration. 'A perfect bonding, God-given," wrote one fan, while another gushed, 'Made for each other. I love both of you—incalculable!" A third echoed the sentiment: 'Your love is an inspiration for others." The iconic actress married Himalay Dassani shortly after the blockbuster success of Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989. Their love, however, has stood quietly strong over the years. Together, they've raised two children—son Abhimanyu Dassani, who made a sensational Bollywood debut with Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and won a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut, and daughter Avantika Dassani, who stepped into the spotlight with the psychological thriller Mithya. This surprise proposal, decades after their wedding vows, feels like a reminder: love isn't just about grand gestures at the start—it's about finding new ways to say 'I choose you" again and again. For Bhagyashree and Himalay, it may have taken thirty years—but the sparkle in their eyes says it was worth the wait. First Published:

The very first Birkin bag ever made is going on sale
The first Hermès Birkin bag, originally designed for Jane Birkin, is up for auction at Sotheby's Paris. This iconic black leather bag, born from a chance encounter in 1984, was previously sold by Birkin for AIDS research. Expected to ignite a bidding war, the bag represents fashion history, ethical considerations, and timeless allure. Struggling to score a Birkin even with all the right connections (and credit cards)? You're not alone and now, the ultimate holy grail of handbags is up for grabs. The very first Hermès Birkin bag ever made, the one that started it all, originally designed for style icon Jane Birkin herself, is hitting the auction block this July. That's right, the Birkin is coming out of its rarefied vault for Sotheby's Paris Fashion Icons sale on July 10, and fashion history is about to have a new owner. Crafted in jet-black leather and finished with signature gold hardware, this saddle-style Birkin isn't just a collector's dream, it's a slice of sartorial legend. The story behind it? A chance encounter in 1984 between Jane Birkin and Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas aboard a flight, where her overflowing straw bag sparked a moment of genius and gave birth to fashion's most desired arm candy. An undated photo provided by Sotheby's shows the original Hermès prototype for Jane Birkin's iconic bag. The prototype for the Birkin bag will be sold at auction this summer. There is no estimate for how high the bidding may go. (Sotheby's via The New York Times) -- NO SALES; FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY WITH NYT STORY SLUGGED BIRKIN PROTOTYPE AUCTION BY MARISA MELTZER FOR JUNE 5, 2025. ALL OTHER USE PROHIBITED. -- Now, that exact bag-once sold by Jane herself in 1994 to raise funds for AIDS research, is returning to the spotlight. Previously owned by the elusive collector 'Catherine B' (yes, the one with the 'proud owner of the first Hermès Birkin' bio on Instagram), this icon is expected to ignite bidding wars and break records. 'This is a one-of-a-kind moment. The first Birkin is more than a handbag, it's a pop culture artefact,' said Morgane Halimi, Global Head of Handbags and Fashion at Sotheby's. And here's the kicker: it will be sold exactly as Jane Birkin used it, worn-in charm and all. But this isn't just a luxury fantasy. It's a reminder of Jane Birkin's bold ethical stance. She famously asked Hermès to remove her name from the crocodile-skin Birkin after learning of the disturbing animal cruelty practices involved. 'I have asked Hermès to debaptise the Birkin Croco,' she said in a statement that shook the luxury world. With this sale, the original Birkin reclaims centre stage - not just as a style status symbol, but as a cultural relic that tells a bigger story about fashion, ethics, and timeless allure. If there's ever been a handbag worth fighting over, this is it. Let the bidding begin. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
