Housefull 5 Advance Booking: Akshay Kumar starrer tops 10,000 tickets in National Chains; Aims to gain momentum
Akshay Kumar returns to the big screen on June 6 with the Sajid Nadiadwala-produced Housefull 5, and the full-fledged advances for the comic caper opened on Sunday morning. As on Monday at 5.30 PM, Housefull 5 has sold 10,250 tickets in the top 3 national chains, PVRInox and Cinepolis, and the film will be looking to close T-3 at pre-sales of 14,000 tickets in the multiplexes. The advance bookings are better than most of the Akshay Kumar films in the post-pandemic world, however, the pace could have been faster. The target for Housefull 5 should be to go in the north of 1,25,000 tickets in the national chains by Thursday night, and aim at a start around the Rs 20.00 crore to 25 crore mark and then hope for the reports to come into play over the weekend. The film has a holiday on Saturday, which means that the positive audience reports could push the film to a bigger than usual jump on the second day. The advance bookings in other multiplex chains like Rajhans, MovieMax and Miraj is relatively better, which is always an early indicator about the scope for walk-ups on the day of release. While Miraj has sold about 650 tickets, MovieMax has recorded a pre-sale of 375 tickets. Housefull 5 should be aiming to record an advance in the excess of 3000 tickets in MovieMax. Rajhans, which is a key chain of Gujarat stands at advance booking of 500 tickets, and this centre should be showing very good momentum on Wednesday and Thursday. These are still early days, and we will have a clear picture on where the film is headed by end of Wednesday. The overseas pre-sales for the comic caper give us some optimism on the film to gain momentum in India as well. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more analysis on Housefull 5.

Ahead of IPL 2025 final, Salman Khan's 11-year-old tweet for Preity Zinta's cricket team goes viral
The 2025 Indian Premier League season has not only brought thrilling cricket but also a nostalgic social media moment that captured fans' imagination. As Punjab Kings secured a dramatic win over Mumbai Indians to enter the IPL final, an 11-year-old tweet by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan resurfaced and went viral. The tweet, originally posted in 2014, asked, "Zinta's team won kya?" — referring to PBKS co-owned by actress Preity Zinta — perfectly captured the excitement around the team's performance this season. After the win, PBKS's official social media handle responded to Salman Khan's tweet, adding fuel to the online buzz and delighting fans across platforms. — BeingSalmanKhan (@BeingSalmanKhan) Play Video Pause Skip Backward Skip Forward Unmute Current Time 0:00 / Duration 0:00 Loaded : 0% 0:00 Stream Type LIVE Seek to live, currently behind live LIVE Remaining Time - 0:00 1x Playback Rate Chapters Chapters Descriptions descriptions off , selected Captions captions settings , opens captions settings dialog captions off , selected Audio Track Picture-in-Picture Fullscreen This is a modal window.

Chasing a target of 204 runs, PBKS reached their goal with six balls remaining at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the world's largest cricket venue. This victory marks PBKS's second IPL final appearance, their first since 2014, and sets up a final against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Both teams are still seeking their maiden IPL championship in the tournament's 18th edition. Shreyas Iyer's Captain's Knock Seals the Deal PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer led the chase with an unbeaten 87 runs off 41 balls, including five fours and eight sixes. His aggressive yet composed innings was crucial, especially his dominant hitting against England pacer Reece Topley, where he struck three consecutive sixes in the 13th and 14th overs. Iyer praised the pressure of big games, stating, 'I love such big occasions. I always remind myself and my teammates that the bigger the occasion, the calmer you should be to achieve great results.' His partnership with Nehal Wadhera, who scored 48, helped shift momentum decisively in PBKS's favour. Mumbai Indians batted first and posted 203 runs for six wickets despite losing key players early, including veteran opener Rohit Sharma. Notable performances came from Jonny Bairstow (38) and Tilak Varma (44), who built vital partnerships to set a challenging target. Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya acknowledged Iyer's excellent batting, saying, 'The way Shreyas batted, took his chances, and played some outstanding shots. They were really calm, put us under pressure, and we couldn't execute our plans as intended.' Social Media Reacts to the Viral Tweet Fans and followers of the IPL rejoiced in the viral comeback of Salman Khan's tweet. Many viewed it as a good luck charm for PBKS, sharing memes and urging the superstar to attend the final. Comments ranged from calls to 'Bring him to the final,' to expressions of awe at how well the tweet has aged. The PBKS social media team cleverly used the opportunity to connect past and present, adding to the tournament's vibrant atmosphere. With PBKS and RCB both chasing their first IPL title, the upcoming final promises to be a historic encounter.
