Housefull 5 Day 1 Worldwide Box Office: Akshay Kumar's madcap comedy takes a SOLID worldwide start of Rs 37.25 crore
Housefull 5 grossed Rs 26.50 crore (Rs 22 crore net) in India and Rs 10.75 crore (USD 1.25m) internationally for a worldwide opening day of Rs 37.25 crore. This is a robust opening day for the Akshay Kumar starrer, standing tall as one of the best in his career. The India opening can be classified as good while the overseas opening is very good.
The India opening of Housefull 5 is pretty much on expected lines, in-fact slightly lower than we predicted. It is still good and it has given the movie the foundation to grow big over the weekend. The opening internationally, however, is significantly higher than expected and a weekend of over USD 4 million is locked. The global opening weekend shall be around or slightly under Rs 150 crore, setting the comedy up well for the days ahead.
Here is the breakdown for the opening day worldwide opening gross of Housefull 5
Particulars Amount
India Gross Rs 26.50 crore
Overseas Gross Rs 10.75 crore
Worldwide Gross Rs 37.25 crore
Housefull has been a franchise with no misses and Housefull 5 can also join the coveted list of Housefull films with a hit verdict. For that, the movie must try and net around Rs 200 crore in India and gross over Rs 300 crore worldwide.Housefull 5 is the third biggest Bollywood opener worldwide, only behind Chhaava (Rs 46 crore) and Sikandar (Rs 45 crore). Chhaava went on to emerge as an all time blockbuster while Sikandar sealed a sorry fate, ending its global run grossing just around Rs 175 crore or so.
Internationally, Housefull 5 has benefitted greatly by the excellent production value and by the star-studded cast. The look and feel of the movie is rich and it shows in every frame. Above that, having two different versions with two climaxes has helped audiences become even more curious to watch the movie. Even if the killer-mystery is the secondary factor for a comedy of Housefull's nature, it plays a role in drawing the audience to theatres. If it was a conventional Housefull movie with no change from the previous installments, it could have been fatal as audiences crave for something new each time they see a Housefull movie, even if the core remains the same.
Housefull 5 plays in theatres now. Have you watched the movie yet? If yes, what are your thoughts on the film? Also, which version did you watch? A or B?

EXCLUSIVE: Barun Sobti diagnosed with ADHD – Psychotherapist Kavya Kanupuru on how to know if you have it and what to do
Barun Sobti, one of the well-known actors of the entertainment industry, recently had a long discussion with Pinkvilla. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Barun admitted being diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). After this, Pinkvilla exclusively spoke to Psychotherapist Kavya Kanupuru to learn about ADHD, its symptoms, causes and how it is diagnosed. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a medical condition where the person has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to sit still and self-control. Barun Sobti admits being diagnosed with ADHD While exclusively speaking to Pinkvilla, Barun Sobti described how he is not a materialistic person and mentioned how money never motivated him. He expressed how creative satisfaction matters him the most. Barun admitted how he gets restless if his creativity is not satisfied. He said, "I'm ADHD anyway. I go crazy if I'm not doing anything that really satisfies me. It took me time to understand." Further, speaking about confidence, the Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon actor shared, "Confidence kam hai. Himmat zyada hai (Confidence is less but courage is more)." He added, "I'm a very anxious person. Anxious logo ka confidence humesha technically kam hi hoga, always. (Anxious people's confidence is technically less, always). They are always thinking about what can go wrong." Barun even shared how doing the interview was also an anxious moment for him. As Barun admitted being diagnosed with ADHD, we exclusively spoke to Psychotherapist Kavya Kanupuru to learn about it. While talking to us, she shared the symptoms, causes, methods to manage ADHD and more. Excerpts from the interview are below: Everything you need to know about ADHD Symptoms ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This disorder impacts attention, the kind of activity people do and how impulsive they can be. There are two types of ADHD - one is often seen in children, child ADHD, and the second is in adults. The core symptoms of ADHD are Attention Span, Hyperactivity and Impulsiveness. The core symptoms would be something like they are not able to pay any attention in a classroom. These kids cannot stay attentive, they cannot follow the class, and they are very disorganised. Next thing would be hyperactivity. They are very hyper, restless. When they start talking, they might just interrupt everyone and cannot stop talking. They are known to be extremely impulsive that would be the third core symptom. They just do things without thinking about it. Causes Sometimes it runs in families. It could be genetic or exposure to some kind of toxins. Issues in brain functioning. Some people have issues with dopamine relation in brain. Those kinds of cases commonly result in ADHD. How to learn about ADHD diagnosis? One common thing that is happening these days is people self-diagnosing themselves with ADHD and other issues like anxiety disorders or depressive disorders. That is not the right way to do it. In India, only an RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) certified clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, after going through the entire case history of the patient, can diagnose them with ADHD. Once it is diagnosed, then it can be managed through medication, along with behavioral therapy and lifestyle changes. How to manage ADHD? Lifestyle changes, including bringing in structure and routine to life. Practising mindfulness, importantly prioritising sleep because people with ADHD if their sleep routine is not good, the symptoms can aggravate. Regularly working out will help them. In diet, avoiding anything that can increase the sugar level will also benefit them. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is effective for ADHD. Any behavior modification therapies, if it is for kids, then they can try ADHD coaching or parental therapy. These kinds of therapies work. Also, mindfulness therapies and group therapies are effective. Disclaimer: If you know someone who is having suicidal thoughts, anxiety, going through depression, or is suffering from a serious mental illness, reach out to a nearby doctor, mental health expert, or an NGO for immediate help. There are several helplines available for the same.

Housefull 5: A cruise full of chaos, comedy & clueless killers!
Housefull 5 sails back into theatres with the signature madness fans expect from Bollywood's most outrageous comedy franchise. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, this instalment pushes the envelope with an ambitious whodunit twist set aboard a luxury cruise. The movie promises—and delivers—slapstick chaos, vibrant visuals, and a laugh-a-minute ride, while introducing a fresh gimmick: multiple climaxes, with a different killer revealed in each screening. Story: The film kicks off with a billionaire's unexpected death during a lavish cruise celebration. What follows is a farcical murder investigation, where every suspect seems guiltier than the next. Amid mistaken identities, wild chase sequences, and comic misadventures, Housefull 5 embraces its absurdity to the fullest. The whodunit angle is used more as a backdrop for hilarity than suspense, but the unpredictability of the multiple endings keeps the audience engaged. Performances: Akshay Kumar once again proves why he's the undisputed king of comedy in Bollywood. His impeccable timing and effortless goofiness anchor the film. Riteish Deshmukh, a series staple, complements him perfectly, while Abhishek Bachchan returns with surprising flair, sliding smoothly into the franchise's chaotic rhythm. Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff, as bumbling investigators, add a dose of senior swagger and comic intensity. The supporting cast—Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Chunky Pandey, Johny Lever, and even Ranjeet—elevates the ensemble energy, though some are underutilized. The women—Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, and Chitrangada Singh—mostly play eye candy roles, with little narrative depth. Technicalities: Mansukhani injects new life into the franchise with dynamic direction and fast-paced storytelling, although the second half occasionally loses steam due to repetitive gags. The music, composed to energize, succeeds with tracks like Laal Pari and Dil-e-Nadaan, which are as vibrant visually as they are catchy. The cinematography makes excellent use of the cruise ship setting, while editing could've been crisper in trimming a few stretched-out comedic sequences. Analysis: Housefull 5 demands viewers to suspend all logic and lean into its over-the-top antics. It's not about plot integrity—it's about comic timing, chaos, and crowd-pleasing moments. While it doesn't reinvent the genre, it certainly amplifies it with new twists and nostalgic callbacks. Fans of the franchise will feel right at home, while newcomers might find it overwhelming unless they're in for unabashed fun. A loud, colourful, and unapologetically silly entertainer, Housefull 5 delivers on its promise: mindless comedy with masala in every frame. Rating: 2.75/5
