Housefull 5 worldwide box office collection day 2: The much-awaited comedy whodunnit Housefull 5 released in theatres on Friday, June 6. According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹40 crore worldwide on its opening day and performed better on its second day, earning a total of ₹87 crore worldwide.

The trade website reported that Housefull 5 brought in ₹24 crore on Day 1 and ₹31 crore on Day 2, taking its India net collection to ₹55 crore. With ₹65 crore gross in India over two days, and ₹22 crore from overseas, the film's total worldwide collection now stands at ₹87 crore. This means Akshay's film has surpassed the lifetime collections of recent Bollywood films like Bhool Chuk Maaf and Deva in just two days.
Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf released in theatres on May 23. According to Sacnilk, the film has collected ₹68.06 crore in India and ₹81.6 crore worldwide at the box office, thus lagging behind Akshay's new release. Shahid Kapoor's Deva earned ₹58 crore worldwide.
The film is the fifth instalment in Sajid Nadiadwala's successful comedy franchise Housefull. It features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Nikitin Dheer, Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Soundarya Sharma, and Johnny Lever. Helmed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film, featuring two different endings and two different killers, opened to a mixed response from the critics.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, 'The film starts off on a funny note, helped along by Shreyas Talpade's presence. But it lacks the energy you'd expect for the kind of boisterous ride you've signed up for—until Akshay walks in, Ace Ventura-style. His comic timing immediately lifts the film, but I can't say the same for the other characters.'

Jamie Lever recalls getting cruel comments about her skin tone, being called ‘chudail': People told me to become fair

Johnny Lever's daughter Jamie Lever, who is an actor and comedian, recently opened up about growing up with insecurities about her body, as she was an obese child. In an interview with Hauterrfly, Jamie also revealed receiving comments about her skin tone and being called a witch. (Also Read: Jamie Lever recalls being traumatised as a 10-year-old by inappropriate men: 'Creep masturbated, conductor touched') Jamie talked about receiving criticism for her skin tone and said, "I get so many comments. Kaali hai (she's dark), chudail lagti hai (she looks like a witch), chudail jaise hasti hai (she laughs like a witch), you are ugly, you won't get work in the industry, tu marr kyu nahi jaati (why don't you just die), you are not getting work because of the way you look... Aisi shakal waali ladkiyon ko film nahi milti (girls who look like this don't get films). I have received such messages all my life. Colourism is such a huge issue here. Growing up, people would ask me to apply ubtans, turmeric masks, all of this to 'become fair'... Colourism is a major problem in our country." Jamie recalled that growing up, she had many insecurities about her body as she was a plump and obese child. She added, "There was a phase when I used to cover up my body with long kurtas. Even my family asked me to cover my posterior because I have a bigger hip. I have a pear-shaped body, so what do I do about it? I was told to do something about my body, so I didn't like myself. My body was an embarrassment for me, and it is only much later in life that I learnt how to own my body and my curves." She further recalled how her mother encouraged her to lose weight, as women in the industry are expected to look a certain way. After that, she started working on her body and posting her workout videos on social media to encourage other girls like her. Jamie started her career as a comedian on the show Comedy Circus Ke Mahabali on Sony Entertainment Television in 2013. In 2015, she made her Bollywood debut with Kapil Sharma's film Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. She then featured in several movies like Housefull 4, Bhoot Police, Yaatris, and Crakk among others. She was last seen in the Telugu film Aa Okkati Adakku. Apart from this, Jamie has also gained popularity for her mimicry videos on social media.

Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's Rs 250 Crore Mansion Is Finally Ready; Couple To Shift Soon

Last Updated: Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's Rs 250 crore mansion, inherited from Ranbir's grandparents, is reportedly complete. The couple might move into their new space anytime soon. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have been waiting for the completion of their dream house, estimated to be worth a whopping Rs 250 crore. The property, which originally belonged to Ranbir's grandparents, Raj Kapoor and Krishna Raj Kapoor, was inherited by Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir's parents, in 1980. A video shows that the couple's six-story luxury mansion has finally been completed. As a result, there are high chances you'll see the couple move into their new house soon on an near-auspicious date. A post on Sunday made by celebrity paparazzo Viral Bhayani claimed that Alia and Ranbir's new house is finally complete. A video of their mansion shows potted green-coloured plants decorating each of their balconies, breaking the monotony of the grey look. 'New beginnings in a dream home! Alia & Ranbir's love nest is finally ready," read the caption. Take a look: Both Alia, Ranbir, their daughter Raha had been frequently spotted during the construction of their new house. Neetu Kapoor, too, had been clicked numerous times by paps. Ranbir and Alia's luxurious bungalow, named in honour of Ranbir's grandmother Krishna Raj Kapoor, is more than just a lavish property – it's a heartfelt gift to their daughter, Raha Kapoor. Valued at Rs 250 crore, the six-storey home is set to be registered in Raha's name, reflecting the couple's emotional investment in the residence. Last year, reports stated that the couple is most probably to celebrate Diwali in their new home. However, the house still needed time for completion. A Hindustan Times has quoted an insider saying, 'The ongoing work on their bungalow is almost done, with the finishing going on, which should take one month or so. After the work is done and they get a green signal, the couple will move into the place. It is the moment they have been looking forward to", adding, 'In fact, they will most probably be celebrating Diwali with Raha in the new house this year." 'The bungalow holds an emotional significance to the family, which is why everyone is so involved in the construction. Ranbir and Alia have made sure they take out time from their busy schedule and check the work status," said the insider. On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are sharing screen space together again after Brahmastra, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal.

Fit India Sundays on Cycle organised in collaboration with Indian Railways; Actress Madhurima Tuli honoured as Fit India icon

New Delhi [India], June 8 (ANI): A sea of 1000 cyclists and fitness enthusiasts created a lively atmosphere at the JLN Stadium here on Sunday morning in the 26th edition of Fit India Sundays on Cycle. Organised in collaboration with Indian Railways as special partners, the event saw the presence of Indian actress Madhurima Tuli, wrestler Anirudh Kumar, and mountaineer Narender Kumar, among the special guests. Madhurima Tuli, who has starred in the Bollywood movie 'Baby' opposite Akshay Kumar, was formally recognised as a Fit India Icon on the occasion by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. She has been a state-level track and field athlete as well as a hurdles race runner. Expressing her gratitude, Madhurima said, as quoted by the SAI Media press release, 'I feel honoured to be here. Cycling has been my childhood hobby. Our Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Sports Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya have rightly spoken about the dangers of obesity--it brings many diseases. Cycling is affordable, liberating, and keeps you mentally fit too.' With Indian Railways serving as special partners, this edition marked a significant expansion of outreach and participation with railway officials and sportspersons associated with the railways also present in large numbers. These cycling drives were conducted by several Khelo India Centres (KICs), Khelo India State Centres of Excellence (KISCEs), SAI Training Centres (STCs), Khelo India Accredited Academies (KIAAs), Regional Centres (RCs), National Centres of Excellence (NCOEs) and more than 2600 cycling clubs all across the country, who roped in railways employees, officials and staff to make the event a resounding success on Sunday. The activities stretched from Alwar to Tinsukia and Kurukshetra to Bolpur. The fitness activities which included Zumba, yoga and rope skipping were guided by My Bharat, Rope skipping federation of India and Yogasana Bharat. Wrestler Anirudh Kumar, who won the gold at the 2024 U23 & U17 Asian Championships, called the initiative very important for the youth of the country. 'I've had a long relationship with cycling since childhood. It improves stamina, power, and helps with fat loss. It's great to see so many young faces today embracing fitness,' Anirudh said. Mountaineer Narender Kumar, who is now preparing for his upcoming expedition to Mount Elbrus--Europe's highest peak--hailed the movement as a transformative national force. 'The clarion call of PM Narendra Modi ji has reached every corner of India. It's heartening to see the youth join in, away from distractions and addictions. The love and energy of young Indians are taking this movement forward,' he mentioned. The Fit India Sundays on Cycle initiative, launched in December 2024, has already touched more than 3.5 lakh citizens across 10,000+ locations nationwide. It started with 150-odd cyclists and the participation figure has grown by leaps in a span of six months. Credit for this huge surge goes to partners such as the CISF, Armed Forces, Indian Medical Association, Journalist Associations, Teachers, Corporates, Celebrities and myriad professionals from several walks of life.
