(Also Read | Soundarya Sharma is surprised at claims of female objectification in Housefull 5: Kaun log iss tarah baat kar rahe hain) Calling it a "family entertainer", Chitrangda added that every film has its "own metre when it comes to humour". She said, 'I do think Housefull 5 is a family entertainer. Yes, there are jokes and humour that people might not enjoy as much, but I feel every film has its own tone and metre of what the dialogues are and what the tone of the film is. This is that kind of film. Then there's Hera Pheri, Golmaal and many more. Every film has its own metre when it comes to humour. If you go with your friends, you will have fun. Every family also has different dynamics. It is for you to go and find whether you like it or not. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion, I am not defending anything.' Talking about Adam Sandler films, she said that the jokes in Housefull 5 shouldn't be judged. She added, 'Adam Sandler's You Don't Mess with the Zohan and Pink Panther have a certain tone of humour. I don't think it should be judged in the same manner. Every film can't be an Airlift, and an Airlift can't be a Housefull 5. There are different kinds of entertainment. I am not defending, but this is how I feel." Recently, taking to Reddit, social media users talked about the film copying its scenes and jokes from diferent platforms, including the show Key & Peele. A person said, 'I was so angry when I realised they just copied Key and Peele for half of their scenes. Sad part is, those were the only scenes where people laughed.'
