Housefull 5 OTT release: When and Where to watch Akshay Kumar's latest comedy movie online

Time of India13-07-2025
Following its theatrical release on June 6, 2025, Housefull 5—the latest entry in one of Bollywood's most popular comedy franchises—is now preparing for its OTT debut. While an official streaming date has not been confirmed, reports suggest the film may arrive on Amazon Prime Video either by the last week of July or in early August, as per Times of India. The digital release is highly anticipated, given the buzz the film generated for its unique storytelling format and ensemble cast.
Housefull 5 Plot
This installment unfolds on a grand cruise liner and opens with billionaire Ranjeet Dobriyal's death from a heart attack, just before the start of his 100th birthday celebration. His passing is kept secret by his son Dev and the board to prevent market panic. Matters escalate when Ranjeet's will reveals that his £69 billion fortune is to be inherited by Jolly, his son from a previous marriage.
Complications arise when three different men—Julius (Akshay Kumar), Jalbhushan (Abhishek Bachchan), and Jalabuddin (Riteish Deshmukh)—each claim to be Jolly. All three possess matching birthmarks, making the situation increasingly absurd. What follows is a blend of romantic confusion, mistaken identities, and over-the-top investigations—all layered in the franchise's trademark comedic style.

Double Endings: A Rare Bollywood Experiment
In an unusual move for a mainstream Hindi film, Housefull 5 was released in two separate versions—titled Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B—each with its own climax. This bold narrative experiment was met with enthusiasm, with audiences intrigued by the idea of alternate endings. It added replay value and set the film apart from previous entries in the franchise.
Housefull 5 Star-Packed Cast
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and co-written with Farhad Samji, the film features an extensive cast. Alongside the lead trio, the ensemble includes Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Mithun Chakraborty, Chitrangda Singh, Fardeen Khan, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Archana Puran Singh, Chunky Panday, Dino Morea, and others, all contributing to the film's chaotic charm.
Before its theatrical release, Housefull 5 had already secured Rs 135 crore from non-theatrical deals, including Rs 75 crore for its digital rights. Its global box office collection of Rs 288.58 crore ensured the film not only recovered costs but emerged as a commercial hit. With the film now gearing up for its OTT release, Amazon Prime Video is set to host this comedy spectacle, offering viewers another chance to board the cruise of confusion.
Housefull 5 has been produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Firuzi Khan, and Warda Nadiadwala under the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner.

Shekhar Kapur reveals Sridevi was 'fiercely' protective about him as her director

Padma Bhushan awardee Shekhar Kapur , who often speaks about the realms beyond the ones that can be perceived, is travelling back in time to the sets of his sci-fi film 'Mr. India'. On Sunday, the filmmaker took to his Instagram and shared a throwback picture with the late actress Sridevi . The picture is from the first day of his shoot of the film with the actress.

He also penned a long note in the caption, as he spoke highly of her, and listed some of her best qualities as a person. He wrote, "This was my first day of shoot with Sridevi ever. We were shooting a song in Mahabaleshwar. And when she started to dance the world stopped for all of us, the only thing that moved was Sridevi dancing. We all just gawked. It was like another being had descended amongst us .. and I even forgot to say 'Cut'. Like everyone else in the set .. we were too mesmerised by Sridevi's dancing. He further mentioned, "There were other things about Sridevi that are not spoken about .. that she was fiercely loyal .. when the film got into trouble .. she would take any chance she got to protect me, speak about how incredible I was, she took it upon herself to fiercely protect her Director yet behind her stardom, behind her incredible talent, lay such innocence, such vulnerability. And she would use not only her talent to perform, but bring to it her vulnerability and innocence too. " "As if the only person she would express her inner feelings to was the camera .. her protector in a way .. That's why she was such a star .. she was not afraid to reveal her inner self to the Camera (sic)," he added.
