Housefull 5 Movie Review: Hugely entertaining Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea's performances are ‘jolly' good
Housefull 5 is a bit of an overstretch and sometimes you can find it mindless too, but with Abhishek Bachchan's stunning performance and Chitrangada Singh's swag, I promise you will have a 'jolly' good time. And how can we forget Nana Patekar who adds a dash of thrill to this film. read more Language: Hindi Director: Tarun Mansukhani Cast: Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer and Johnny Lever Housefull 5 may be illogical for our refined taste for cinema, but don't you think this mindless fun is very important in our mundane life? And what are theatrical releases for? Entertaining, right? Then why go into the story line. Though again it isn't atrocious like our previous theatrical releases in the last few months. It has its share of comedy, thrill, romance and the feel-good factor. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A still from Housefull 5 Housefull 5 is not just a comedy, it's a murder mystery too and full of suspense. You will be surprised to find out who the actual killer is. Too many actors or rather I would call them entertainers, but it isn't a holy mess. In fact, it has its share of suspense too. A hugely ambitious project, with 19 actors in one film and one frame can get a little annoying, but I assure you there isn't a moment of monotony. The plot starts with billionaire Ranjeet Dobriyal (Ranjeet). This man has a lot of money and lives the life of a king. His 100th birthday celebration was supposed to take place on a cruise, but he passed away just a day before his birthday. Everybody loves Ranjeet Dobriyal for his money. In his will he had mentioned that all his money will go to his son, Jolly, from his first wife. This is quite a shock from his son from his second marriage, Dev (Fardeen Khan) and his board of directors played by Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea and the ever charming Chitrangada Singh. Maya (Chitrangada Singh) knows how to use her charm to her advantage. But Dev (Fardeen Khan) waits for Jolly's arrival. But there are three Jollys Jalbuddin (Riteish Deshmukh), Jalbushan (Abhishek Bachchan), and Julius (Akshay Kumar) that turn up with their wives. The story first revolves around finding the real Jolly. Then there are multiple murders that take place. The movie will transport you to the 90s film, full of fun and some jokes which are sometimes cringe too. A still from Housefull 5 Now talking about the negatives of the film, Housefull 5 has unnecessarily objectified female actors and that too at a very demeaning level. Such fine actors like Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff who are known for their craft have been underused. Looks like the makers were feeling sleepy while writing their characters and hence they fell asleep leaving their stories totally undercooked. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Though the second half is a bit of an overstretch, the movie ends with a solid twist. On the whole, there is nothing that is very immersive about the film. But in an age when Bollywood is suffering from a huge bankruptcy of ideas, this film can be watched at least for once or you can wait for it to release on one of the digital platforms. Rating: 2 and half out of 5 WATCH the trailer of Housefull 5 here:

Jennifer Lopez Channels Retro Glam In Kiss Of The Spider Woman Teaser
Kiss of the Spider Woman is based on Manuel Puig's 1976 novel of the same name. Jennifer Lopez is captivating audiences with her retro Hollywood glam in the teaser of Kiss of the Spider Woman, released on June 5. Her highly anticipated look has already taken social media by storm, with fans praising her tribute to classic Hollywood musicals. The teaser opens with a glimpse into the opulent life of Ingrid Luna (played by Lopez) and her two admirers, Luis (Tonatiuh) and Valentin (Diego Luna), as they discuss her celebrated musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman. Set during Argentina's Dirty War, the story follows Luis, a gay hairdresser, who escapes the grim reality of his prison life by immersing himself in Ingrid's dazzling film world. When Valentin, a Marxist revolutionary, becomes his cellmate, the two forge an unexpected bond through the magic of Ingrid's music and screen presence. Kiss of the Spider Woman is based on Manuel Puig's 1976 novel of the same name. The novel was later adapted into a Broadway musical by Terrence McNally, Fred Ebb, and John Kander. In the movie adaptation, Lopez steps into the shoes of Chita Rivera, who originally brought the role of Ingrid to life. In addition to playing the lead, Lopez also acts as a producer of the film. Other executive producers and co-producers of the film include Diego Luna, Lopez's former husband Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon. Directed and co-written by Dreamgirls director Bill Condon, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2025. According to Variety reports, the musical contains 13 tracks sung by Lopez, Tonatiuh, and Diego Luna. During an interview following the Sundance screening, Lopez was seen becoming emotional as she explained that she had been waiting her whole life for this moment. 'The reason I even wanted to be in this business is because my mom used to sit me in front of the TV when West Side Story aired, and I remember being mesmerised and thinking, 'That's what I want to do,'" JLo shared during the screening. The teaser has already created some significant buzz across social media, as fans are eager to watch Lopez essaying the character of Ingrid Luna. The film is scheduled to premiere on October 10, 2025. First Published:
