Housefull 5 trailer public review: Akshay Kumar brings over-the-top comedy in murder mystery, internet calls it ‘cringe'
On Tuesday, the trailer of Housefull 5 was dropped. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, it stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.
The trailer begins with Nana Patekar introducing a lavish 100th birthday celebration aboard a party yacht, thrown by a billionaire who surprises everyone by revealing his will for his son, Jolly.
The twist comes next when it turns out there are not one but three Jollys—played by Riteish Deshmukh, Akshay Kumar, and Abhishek Bachchan. The story takes a sudden turn when the billionaire is killed by someone at the party. With six prime suspects, including his sons who are unable to recall anything after being drugged, Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt arrive to investigate the matter.
The story is entirely set on a luxurious cruise ship, promising the same over-the-top comedy that the Housefull comedy is known for. A masked man appeared in the trailer who seemed to be the real murderer among everyone on the ship.
The trailer is 3 minutes and 56 seconds. Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Akshay Kumar wrote in a post: 'Welcome aboard the most unpredictable cruise ever! Get ready for chaos, comedy, and a killer twist. #Housefull5Trailer Out Now! Link in Bio. #Housefull5 releases in cinemas near you on 6th June 2025!'
Reacting to the trailer, a fan wrote, 'Finally Akki (is) back with his comedy.'
'Blockbuster loading,' predicted another excited fan.
Someone on X wrote, 'A comedy film cannot be judged by just a 3-4 minute trailer. Some parts of the trailer are very good while some parts are a bit average… Overall the trailer is awesome, One of the best in recent times.'
'Cheap B grade cringe,' also opined another user.
Previously, the makers had dropped a teaser on April 30, marking 15 years of the Housefull series. It featured a new story, set on a fancy cruise ship and a murder mystery.
Housefull 5 music is presented by T-Series. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
Housefull 5 is set to release in theatres worldwide on June 6, 2025.
With this release, it became the first-ever franchise film in Indian cinema to have five instalments.
The first installment of Housefull was released in 2010, starring Akshay, Riteish, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, and Boman Irani. It was followed by the sequel, Housefull 2, which was released in 2012, starring Akshay, Riteish, John Abraham, Shreyas Talpade, Jacqueline Fernandez, Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, and Asin.

Deepika Padukone NOT Dropped from Kalki 2, Sources Deny Fallout Rumours
Last Updated: Deepika Padukone has not been dropped from Kalki 2, say sources. The film is still in pre-production and casting has yet to begin. No on-set fallout occurred. Amid swirling rumours that Deepika Padukone has been dropped from Kalki 2, sources close to the film have categorically denied any such development. The buzz, which gained traction online over the past few days, claimed that Deepika had a fallout with the film's team and co-star Prabhas—a claim insiders are now calling 'completely baseless." The truth? Kalki 2 hasn't even begun filming yet. According to sources, the much-anticipated sequel is still in the pre-production phase and no official casting has been locked in. 'They haven't even approached actors because it's still in development," a source told NDTV, debunking the theory that Deepika was dropped due to 'on-set friction." As another insider pointed out, 'There's been no shoot, no interaction, and therefore, no fallout." The speculation appears to be an extension of earlier reports involving Deepika's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit. Rumours suggested the actor had demanded 8-hour workdays, a higher salary, and a share in profits—conditions that reportedly did not sit well with the filmmaker. Adding fuel to the fire, Vanga shared cryptic posts on X (formerly Twitter) criticizing actors for wanting 'luxury," which many assumed was a dig at Deepika. The situation escalated when Triptii Dimri, fresh off her success in Animal, was announced as the lead in Spirit. While Dimri confirmed her casting with a grateful Instagram post, the timing led many to conclude that Deepika had been replaced. As for Kalki 2, no such decision has been made. The rumour mill may be churning overtime, but for now, Deepika's involvement remains a matter of speculation—one not supported by any official word or concrete development. Until the film moves forward, one thing remains clear: there's no drama where there's no shoot. First Published: June 06, 2025, 16:14 IST
