Akshay's Housefull 5 races past Salman Khan's Sikandar at box office
Housefull 5 box office collection day 6: Akshay Kumar-starrer Housefull 5 is on a riotous box office roll, smashing past Salman Khan's Sikandar and collecting a whopping ₹111.25 crore in just five days.
The fifth film in the blockbuster comedy franchise has turned out to be one of 2025's most unexpected money-spinners – full of laughs, glamour, and packed theatres.
Released on 6 June, Housefull 5 didn't just draw crowds – it dominated the weekend. With back-to-back houseful shows and foot-tapping songs, it's now officially the 4th highest-grossing Hindi film of the year – leaving Salman's action-packed Sikandar behind in the dust.
Housefull 5: Day-wise collection
Housefull 5 Friday (Day 1): ₹24 crore
Housefull 5 Saturday (Day 2): ₹31 crore
Housefull 5 Sunday (Day 3): ₹32.5 crore
Housefull 5 Monday (Day 4): ₹13 crore
Housefull 5 Tuesday (Day 5): ₹11.25 crore
Housefull 5 Wednesday (Day 6): ₹2.35 Crore (early estimates)
This brings the total five-day all-language India net collection to ₹111.25 crore (as per Sacnilk). The film's mix of slapstick humour, chartbuster songs, and a star-studded ensemble ensured full houses in multiplexes and single screens alike.
Salman Khan's Sikandar collection
While Salman Khan's action-packed Sikandar had a solid start – earning ₹26 crore on its first Sunday and rising to ₹29 crore on Monday – it quickly lost momentum:
Week 1 total: ₹90.25 crore
Week 2: ₹17.55 crore
Week 3: ₹2.1 crore
After 22 days, Sikandar's net total stood at ₹110.1 crore, just below what Housefull 5 amassed in five days. This marks a significant box office win for Akshay Kumar's comedy venture over Khan's action entertainer.
Akshay Kumar's comeback
The success of Housefull 5 marks a strong comeback for Akshay Kumar, who had previously delivered two other 2025 hits—Sky Force and Kesari 2—after facing a string of flops. With Housefull 5 now among the top earners of the year, all eyes are on whether it can climb even higher on the list in the coming weeks.

This superstar was madly in love with Sridevi, 13 years older than him, even proposed to her for marriage, played role of her stepson; His name is...
You must have heard many stories about Sridevi's beauty and her love story with husband Boney Kapoor. But do you know about her lesser-known connection with a South Indian superstar, with whom she did several films? Let us tell you about this unique and heartwarming relationship. Sridevi and Rajinikanth worked together in many films. Their friendship and on-screen chemistry were well known. They first collaborated in 1976 in the Tamil romantic film Moondru Mudichu. At that time, they were both just 13 years old. Interestingly, Sridevi was not the heroine in Rajinikanth's film; she played the role of his stepmother. Later, the two went on to do 19 films together, across multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. It is said that during this time, Rajinikanth began to fall in love with Sridevi. He was also very close to her family. At one point, Rajinikanth wanted to express his feelings. He wished to marry 16-year-old Sridevi and was even planning to propose to her. He was about to speak to her mother about the relationship, but something happened that prevented the matter from moving forward. In an interview with filmmaker K. Balachander, Rajinikanth revealed that he had deep feelings for Sridevi. He even went to her house with a marriage proposal. He was about to ask her mother for Sridevi's hand in marriage when, suddenly, the lights went out and the house was plunged into darkness. When Rajinikanth visited Sridevi's home, he was warmly welcomed. A delicious meal was prepared, and he was treated with great respect. Just as he was about to express his feelings, the power went out. Taking it as an inauspicious sign, he decided to postpone the conversation, thinking he would choose a better time to talk about something so important. However, that moment never came. Rajinikanth never got the chance to confess his feelings. Years later, in 1996, Sridevi married Boney Kapoor. Another famous incident is that once Rajinikanth became very ill. Sridevi then kept a fast for seven days for Rajinikanth. There was a very strong bond between the two, which remained forever. When Sridevi passed away, Rajinikanth dropped everything to come and pay his respects. Rajinikanth is married to Lata Rajinikanth, and the couple tied the knot in 1981. Since then, they had always spent quality time together on their wedding anniversary. However, for the first time in 37 years, Rajinikanth broke this tradition. The year Sridevi died, he chose not to celebrate their anniversary.

Chunky Panday reveals he was once paid to attend a funeral: 'There was no source of income at the time'
Chunky Panday revealed he was once paid to attend a funeral, mistakenly thinking it was a regular event. The organiser told him, 'Agar aap royenge na, toh thoda zyada paisa milega' (If you cry, you will be paid more). Another actor cried and earned ₹50,000 extra. Chunky Panday recently appeared in Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull 5, sharing the screen with Akshay Kumar , Riteish Deshmukh , Abhishek Bachchan , Nana Patekar among others. He is also seen in the film 'Detective Sherdil', sharing the screen with Boman Irani , Ratna Pathak Shah, and Diljit Dosanjh. The story centers on the themes of ambition and the lust for power and wealth. Recently, in an interview, Chunky amusingly told how he once attended a funeral solely to make some extra cash. Early Career Struggles and Misunderstanding In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Chunky reflected on a memorable experience from earlier in his career. He admitted, 'That was my mistake. Yes, I attended the funeral, but not out of choice. See, in those days, there was no source of income for actors besides going to events or doing movies. There was no YouTube, Instagram, or even ads at that time, as it was a different era." He revealed that an event organiser once invited him to attend a brief event, asking him to wear white, which he assumed was simply the dress code. However, when he arrived, he realized it was actually a funeral, and the crowd was surprised to see him there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The Funeral Incident and Payment Offer The actor shared a surprising experience from the event, recalling, 'I suddenly saw a dead body in front of me and thought the organiser had passed away.' He soon learned that he was actually there for a funeral. Feeling unable to react in such a solemn moment, the organiser joked, 'Agar aap royenge na, toh thoda zyada paisa milega'. Since Chunky isn't very emotional, he chose not to cry to avoid bursting into laughter. However, another actor at the funeral cried extensively and reportedly received an additional ₹50,000 for it.
