Housefull 5 released on OTT: Where to watch both 5A and 5B versions of comedy drama
Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar and an ensemble cast, has achieved massive commercial success, crossing Rs 300 crore worldwide. The film, split into two parts with alternate endings, has resonated with audiences, particularly in North India. Despite comedic roots, the plot involves impostors and mysterious murders, adding suspense to the franchise.
Housefull 5 is available for streaming on a popular OTT giant. Housefull 5, the latest entry in the long-running comedy franchise, has turned out to be a massive commercial success. Featuring an ensemble cast led by Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, and several Bollywood veterans and fresh faces, the film has already crossed Rs 300 crore in worldwide gross box office collections. Domestically, it has earned over Rs 200 crore, making it one of the biggest Hindi comedy releases in recent years.Released on June 6, Housefull 5 took a unique approach by being split into two parts—Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B. While both versions begin identically, the final 20 minutes of each differ, creating two alternate climaxes and driving repeat viewership.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced under Sajid Nadiadwala's banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film has captured the attention of audiences across regions, particularly in North India where it has reportedly outperformed rival comedy franchises like Golmaal and Dhamaal.The film introduces Punjabi actress Sonam Bajwa to Hindi cinema and features a sprawling cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Ranjeet, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.The plot centers around three impostors pretending to be the missing heirs of a billionaire family. What starts off as a farcical con spirals into a dark twist, as they find themselves entangled in a string of mysterious murders. Despite the film's comedic roots, this edge of suspense adds a fresh layer to the franchise formula.With a total production and marketing budget of ₹240 crore (₹225 crore for production and ₹15 crore for promotions), Housefull 5 entered theatres with significant financial backing, according to news agency IANS. It had already recouped a large part of its investment before release. Strategic pre-release deals secured Rs 175 crore through various channels: Rs 90 crore from OTT rights, Rs 55 crore from satellite rights, and Rs 30 crore from music rights, the report said.
Now, Housefull 5 is up for grabs on Amazon Prime Video, but you'll need to pay to rent it—even if you're already a Prime subscriber. Whether fans missed it in theatres or want to relive the alternate ending, the film's OTT drop ensures the comedy chaos continues—at a price.

'Mahavtar Narsimha' dominates over 'Saiyaara', 'Son Of Sardaar 2', 'Dhadak 2' at the box office, collects Rs 15 crore on its second Saturday
It's a busy weekend at the theatres with four movies competing against each other at the moment. While 'Saiyaara' has been ruling at the box office ever since the movie released, this Friday, which is August 1 saw the release of two anticipated sequels - 'Son Of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' which stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. But amidst these three movies, now 'Mahavtar Narsimha' came out of nowhere last week and has now seen incredible growth due to positive word of mouth. On its second Saturday, which is August 2, the movie collected much more than what it made even on first Saturday. So much so, that it is dominating over 'Saiyaara' and even the other two new releases. Mahavtar Narsimha dominates over other releases on Saturday As per early estimates from Sacnilk at Saturday night, 'Mahavtar Narsimha' has collected Rs 15 crore at the box office on its day 9 which is second Saturday. This is huge. It had made only Rs 4.6 crore on its first Saturday. The total collection of the film so far in all languages, is Rs 67.95 crore. It has performed the best in Hindi language. Meanwhile, as per the same website, 'Son Of Sardaar 2' has made Rs 7.50 crore as per early estimates. 'Dhadak 2' made Rs 3.75 crore on Saturday. Meanwhile, 'Saiyaara' has collected Rs 6.35 crore on its day 16. All these are the early estimates on Saturday night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thailand: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo The total collection of 'Saiyaara' now stands at Rs 291.35 crore. If the film sees growth on Sunday, it will be able to cross Rs 300 crore or that would happen on Monday. According to Box Office India, Dhadak (2018) earned nearly ₹9 crore nett on its first day, but that's not a fair comparison since it had hugely popular music backing it. Movies like this aren't really about opening-day numbers—they rely more on how they perform in the days that follow. That's very different from a film like Son of Sardaar 2, where a strong day one is absolutely key. But that unfortunately did not happen as there's been low buzz surrounding this Ajay Devgn starrer.

Su From So Karnataka Box Office 2nd Saturday Update: Kannada blockbuster registers biggest day of its run; Set for Rs 60 crore plus finish
Su From So, directed by JP Thuminad and starring Raj B Shetty is on a historic run at the Karnataka box office. The movie is having a kind of run that very few movies enjoy. After an excellent first week of Rs 20.80 crore gross, the movie added Rs 3.80 crore on its second Friday. The second Friday collections were not just higher than the first Friday collections, but they were almost four times the day 1 number. On second Saturday, the estimates for Su From So are an incredible Rs 5.50 crore. The Day Wise Karnataka Gross Collections Of Su From So Are As Under Day Karnataka Gross Collections Week 1 Rs 20.80 crore 2nd Friday Rs 3.80 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 5.50 crore (est) Total Rs 30.10 crore gross in 9 days Su From So's 2nd Weekend In Karnataka Will Be Twice As Big As Its First A Rs 15 crore second weekend is on the cards, and that would mean that the second weekend collections will be more than double of the first weekend collections. The second week will certainly be higher than the first week. The early projections are that Su From So will end up with a lifetime of Rs 60 - 70 crore. For a movie to double its first week numbers is already considered to be excellent, but for it to do three times or more is just phenomenal. Su From So Is Performing Well Despite Strong Local Competition One must not forget that Su From So is playing in theatres when multiple Indian movies are performing well. Saiyaara, Mahavatar Narsimha, Thalaiva Thalaivi and Kingdom are already doing well and Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 have also taken up screens. The future of Indian cinema looks bright with majority audiences preferring content over stars. The films that have recently done well are the films with no big cast. One of them is an animated film that already has a limited market in a country like India. Su From So In Theatres
