'Housefull 5' box office collection day 6 (LIVE): The multi-starrer movie has a decent beginning on Wednesday after crossing Rs 110 crore
After 'Housefull 5' had a good opening day number along with jump over the weekend, all eyes were on the weekday numbers which would play a crucial role in determining the film's fate. But it has managed to hold decently well on Monday and Tuesday. Of course, while a dip on Monday was expected, the film will manage to sail through if it manages to stick to a double digit number this whole week. Plus, there's also some growth expected on the second weekend. The film had an opening of Rs 24 crore on Day 1. On Saturday and Sunday, it minted Rs 31 crore and Rs 32.5 crore respectively. On Monday though, it saw a dip of around 60 percent, making Rs 13 crore. On Tursday, which is day 5, it again saw a drop but atleast remained in the two digit numbers. The early trend of Wednesday also looks similar to Tuesday. On Day 6, till the morning and afternoon shows, it has made Rs 2.35 crore. The total collection so far, in India, according to Sacnilk is Rs 114.1 crore. It should be able to make minimum Rs 10 crore on day 6 and remain the same on Thursday and Friday as well. The film being a multistarrer and shot on a cruise with some exquisite production values is mounted on a huge budget of over Rs 225 crore. Thus, it's very important for the movie to continue to hold up well. It was expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in four days which it has managed to do very well. The collection and trend for the film is much better than Salman Khan 's 'Sikandar'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ready-to-Move In 2/3 BHK @ ₹5400/Sqft Undo Just 10 min to Annanagar Undo Fully equipped with Modern amenities Undo However, the coming days and the upcoming weekend will be crucial. Aamir Khan 's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is releasing on June 20 and that may serve some competition to it. The number of screens for 'Housefull 2' may also reduce, which may lead to a dip in the numbers. But till then, the film has an open window to continue to perform well at the box office. However, the trade feels that had this one been a family entertainer, just like its previous parts, it would have done even better in some sectors. This time around, it has a bit of an adult comedy with an element of a thriller. Day wise collection of 'Housefull 5' Day 1 [1st Friday] ₹ 24 Cr - Day 2 [1st Saturday] ₹ 31 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday] ₹ 32.5 Cr Day 4 [1st Monday] ₹ 13 Cr - Day 5 [1st Tuesday] ₹ 11.25 Cr Day 6 [1st Wednesday] ₹ 2.35 Cr ** - Total ₹ 114.1 Cr

Fardeen Khan at 51 opens up on his 25 kg weight loss transformation; why he quit alcohol: ‘I was feeling 60 years old'
Fardeen Khan recently opened up about his weight loss journey in an interview with Cyrus Broacha. In a video posted by the YouTube channel Cyrus Says on June 6, the 51-year-old actor talked about shedding 25 kilos, bringing his life back on track, and quitting alcohol. Also Read | Step inside Johnny Lever's simple Mumbai duplex he bought in 1990: '20 times badh gaya price' Talking about his weight loss journey, and how the internet criticised and ridiculed him when he had gained weight, Fardeen revealed, 'I was 102-103 at my heaviest. Not muscle. Good old body fat…as of last week, I am 78-79 now. Some 25 kilos off.' The actor revealed that losing all that weight wasn't just about transforming. He wanted to reclaim his health because he was at an age where he didn't feel like himself at all. Watch the full video here. A post shared by Fardeen F Khan (@fardeenfkhan) During the interview, Fardeen also opened up about his sobriety and giving up alcohol during the pandemic lockdown. The actor said, 'I was sober in the early 2020s. That's when I kicked the habit full on during the COVID-19 lockdown. I stopped in one go.' He revealed that the reason was that his drinking problem had come to a point where it was interfering with his life. 'I needed to stop. I sought professional help to stop. It is probably the best decision I have made in my life. I started drinking very young,' the Housefull 5 actor said. The 51-year-old actor revealed that after quitting, it was the first time that his 'brain fog kind of cleared'. 'I was feeling bloody 60 years old. Now, when you wake up, you feel clean, sober…I quit overnight, but coming to terms with your new life was a tough journey,' he told Cyrus Broacha. Per the actor, quitting alcohol was a voluntary decision as he wasn't getting anything out of it anymore; he wasn't getting any enjoyment, and he wasn't happy with who he was as a person. Reflecting on his sobriety, the actor added that the whole point of being sober is actually relaxing and being comfortable with yourself, and that took quite a few years of work. 'I have never been happier,' he added in the end.

'Happy birthday to me! This year has already been a wild ride; my 30th year of working with the Estée Lauder Companies, my 30th year as the Global Ambassador of the @esteelaudercompanies Breast Cancer Campaign, the 20th,' The Bedazzled star wrote alongside the picture.

Love you.' The country singer also celebrated Hurley's big day, posting a separate Instagram picture with her and calling her the 'love of my life' in his birthday message. A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) Elizabeth, who first visited Billy Ray's estate in Nashville during Easter celebrations, quietly soft-launched their romance through social media posts filled with PDA moments like country walks and off-road rides, without fully spilling the beans. While Hurley's son has now publicly shown support, Cyrus's daughter Miley recently also opened up about her bond with him amid reports of their feud. She had cut ties with him back in 2023 after his divorce from her mother, Tish. Miley now wishes happiness for both, saying in a recent interview, 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.''

They started chatting more often and came close. Now, Billy Ray is hoping this new chapter will also help him fix things with his kids. His split from Miley's mom, Tish, back in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage had caused serious tensions in the family. However, recently, a source who spoke to the Daily Mail revealed, 'Billy Ray met Elizabeth in 2022 on the set of their Christmas film, which they both starred in. Tish had her thoughts and suspicions at the time that he was cheating on her with Liz, but Billy Ray flat-out denied it.' The insider called their relationship, 'a slap in the face.' Sources say Billy Ray is now trying to spend more time with his kids. He's even willing to apologise to Tish's current husband, actor Dominic Purcell, just for the sake of peace between the two families. Despite all the past drama, insiders say Billy Ray feels lucky to have found Elizabeth. In a recent interview with Apple Music Country's The Ty Bentli Show, the country singer opened up about meeting Hurley on the filming set and said, 'We did very few scenes together, but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry. We just laughed and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot, and I found it the oddest thing.'
