Housefull 5 description states, 'When three young impostors masquerade as the long-lost heir to a billionaire's empire, they unwittingly tumble into a deadly game of cat and mouse as they become the prime targets in a string of grisly murders.'
Alongside Akshay Kumar, the ensemble cast features 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 in pivotal roles.
Released on June 6, the movie is produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Housefull is among one of the most popular franchises in India. Its first instalment was released 15 years ago, in 2010.
The second highest-grossing Bollywood movie of the year 'Housefull 5' was close to ₹ 300 crore gross mark at the worldwide box office when it ended its theatrical run, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Housefull 5 grossed ₹ 289 crore worldwide and became the second most-watched Bollywood movie of the year in India after Chhaava.

Saiyaara Box Office Day 11: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda Film Crosses Rs 250 Cr Mark In India

Last Updated: Saiyaara collected Rs 9.50 crore on second Monday, crossing Rs 250 crore in India and Rs 300 crore globally. Netflix release expected around Diwali. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara continues to impress at the box office, defying expectations with each passing day. The romantic musical drama starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda minted Rs 9.50 crore on its second Monday, as per early estimates by Sacnilk. While this reflects a drop from the weekend numbers, the film is still holding strong, especially considering it has no big stars backing it. With this, Saiyaara has officially crossed Rs 250 crore net in India and over Rs 300 crore worldwide—making it one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2025. The film is now eyeing the Rs 275 crore mark domestically by the end of its second week. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara has been lauded for its emotional storytelling, fresh casting, and soul-stirring soundtrack. It marks Ahaan Panday's acting debut and has also given a massive career boost to actress Aneet Padda. The film also stars Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola, Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, and Shaan Groverr in supporting roles. According to a report by The Times of India, the makers have closed a deal with Netflix for the OTT release of Saiyaara. However, given its continued box office success, the film's digital debut has now been pushed closer to Diwali. This move is expected to give the film an extended shelf life and cater to festive viewers at home. Released on July 18, 2025, Saiyaara is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean romantic drama A Moment to Remember. The film follows Krish Kapoor, a disillusioned musician who crosses paths with the introspective poet Vaani Batra. Together, they navigate love, loss, and healing in a story that has struck an emotional chord with audiences. From strong word-of-mouth to chart-topping songs, Saiyaara has become a shining example of how content-driven cinema can still draw crowds in a star-driven industry.

According to Sacnilk, the film saw a dip but held its own on Monday, collecting ₹77 crore net in India on five days.

This takes its total collection to ₹77.28 crore net in India, with the film having made ₹74.85 crore net in India in its first weekend. The film crossed the ₹100 mark worldwide in four days of release. HHVM had the advantage of a Wednesday premiere and a Thursday release. However, collections dipped on Friday and the weekend.

Jyothi tweaked the story from what Krish intended when he took over the project. Given the lukewarm reviews and mixed word of mouth, it remains to be seen how Pawan's first film as the Deputy CM of AP fares.
