The comedy caper, which also features Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez and others, piqued curiosity by offering two endings to the audience. The film was released in two versions — Housefull 5A & 5B — in theatres, each featuring a different killer in the climactic reveal. According to official numbers shared by the makers, Housefull 5 collected ₹11.70 crore on Tuesday and ₹13.15 crore on Monday.
