Housefull 5, the polarising film that earned over ₹300 crore at the box office, is finally getting an OTT release. The Tarun Mansukhani film will be available for streaming on Prime Video from today, the platform announced on Friday. Housefull 5 OTT release: The comedy murder mystery is releasing on streaming this Friday. Housefull 5 OTT release Prime Video uploaded a short video on its Instagram handle featuring the cast of the film and asking the audience to watch the film on the OTT platform. "A housefull of people have something to say," read the caption.

Housefull 5 box office and reception The film, produced under Sajid Nadiadwala's production banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, was released in theatres worldwide on June 6 and went on to earn over ₹300 crore at its global box office and crossed the mark of ₹200 crore with its domestic box office collection. A murder mystery comedy, Housefull 5, was released in two parts: Housefull 5 A and Housefull 5 B. Both films had the same beginning but different endings, with a different killer revealed in each climax. The makers said they had wanted to come up with such a concept for many years during the film's promotions. However, the film was criticised for its depiction of the female characters and some rather unsavoury jokes. Many viewers complained that, for a family film, Housefull 5 had a definitive male gaze and overtly sexualised the women in the film.

‘Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight to pen script for next ‘James Bond'
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has been tapped to write the next James Bond film. According to Deadline, Knight secured the job following a recent meeting with director Denis Villeneuve, who is currently filming the third Dune instalment. Knight, 65, brings a varied resume to the iconic spy series. He is best known for creating the acclaimed BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders, as well as writing films such as Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things, Locke, and Spencer. On television, his credits include Taboo, A Thousand Blows, and The Veil. He is also set to write the upcoming Peaky Blinders film, The Immortal Man, and a Netflix period drama titled House of Guinness. While known primarily for gritty drama, Knight has previously hinted at his interest in large-scale cinematic storytelling. Speaking about The Immortal Man last year, he referenced James Bond directly, noting the difference in scale between TV and film: 'You can blow stuff up,' he said. 'Will Tommy be giving James Bond a run for his money? Maybe.' The next Bond film will be the 26th official entry in the long-running franchise and the first since Daniel Craig's swan song, No Time to Die, which grossed over $774 million worldwide. The title character has yet to be cast, but actors Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson are reportedly being considered. Villeneuve, known for Arrival and Dune, confirmed his involvement earlier this year, saying, 'I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.' Amazon MGM, which secured creative control of the franchise in a reported $1 billion deal, is backing the project. CEO Andy Jassy called the upcoming film 'a major priority' during a recent earnings call.
