Housefull 5 teaser: Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh film promises five times the madness, ten times the cast; there's a murder too. Watch
The wildest cruise of the year is here with Housefull 5 whose teaser promises 'five times the madness, mayhem, and mirth.' The beloved comedy franchise is back, and this time it's not just another laugh riot, it's India's only comedy franchise to reach its fifth installment.
At over 1 minute, the Housefull 5 teaser basically introduces its cast and the list is quite long. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film retains its iconic pillars — Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Chunky Pandey — who have been around since the franchise's inception. They're joined by other familiar faces from past Housefull outings, including Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet and Nargis Fakhri.
Alongside the veteran crew, the film also brings aboard a fresh batch of actors — Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Chitrangda Singh, Fardeen Khan, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.
The teaser sets the tone on a lavish cruise ship, where each character is stylishly introduced in slo-mo to upbeat music. But just when you think it's all fun and games, things take a darkly comic turn. A murderer takes place onboard, and one among this 'housefull' is the killer. The film is being cheekily described as a 'killer comedy.'
Earlier, speaking about the film, Sanjay Dutt said at an event, 'I am doing Housefull; that's another crazy comedy, and Baaghi is an action-emotion kind of film. So I think I'm lucky to have these kinds of genres to work in.'
The story is crafted by producer Sajid Nadiadwala himself, with the screenplay handled by Mansukhani and Farhad Samji. The story is supposed to add layers of suspense to the franchise's usual brand of slapstick fun.
Interestingly, the teaser dropped on a rather nostalgic date, exactly 15 years since the original Housefull released. It's a fitting tribute to a franchise that has grown from chaotic beginnings to full-blown comedy tradition.

Housefull 5 Mints Rs 7.16 Crore In Advance Bookings, Eyes A Blockbuster Opening
Last Updated: Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 has already earned Rs 2.99 crore in advance ticket sales across India. The wildly popular Housefull franchise is back with its fifth instalment, hitting theatres tomorrow, June 6. Judging by the impressive advance booking numbers, the film is poised for a roaring start at the box office. Known for its over-the-top comedy and star-studded chaos, Housefull 5 is already generating major buzz and looks set to deliver yet another crowd-pleasing blockbuster. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 is off to a flying start even before its theatrical release. According to Sacnilk, the comedy blockbuster has already amassed Rs 2.99 crore in advance ticket sales across India, with nearly 1,00,588 tickets sold for over 13,876 scheduled shows as of Wednesday evening (June 4). When block bookings are included, the film's advance business jumps to a solid Rs 7.16 crore, as per the Times of India (ToI). With these promising figures and the franchise's proven mass appeal, Housefull 5 is all set to storm the box office and deliver one of the strongest openings of the year. In comparison to Akshay Kumar's previous release, Kesari Chapter 2, which reportedly recorded Rs 1.84 crore in advance bookings, Housefull 5 has taken the lead with a far stronger pre-release performance. The upbeat momentum in ticket sales reflects the audience's excitement for the return of the comedy franchise, marking a significant boost for Akshay's box office streak. The previous instalment, Housefull 4, which hit cinemas during the festive Diwali weekend in 2019, had clocked in an impressive Rs 8 crore in bookings. Riding on the holiday cheer and franchise buzz, it went on to collect over Rs 19 crore net on its opening day, setting a high benchmark for Housefull 5 to follow. Houseful 5: Know About It Housefull 5 takes the franchise in a bold new direction with a comedy-mystery plot set aboard a lavish cruise ship. For the first time in the series, the film features a unique narrative twist—two alternate endings, each revealing a different murderer, adding an element of suspense to the laughs. The star-studded ensemble includes Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Shreyas Talpade, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer and Johnny Lever, promising a high-voltage entertainer packed with chaos and comedy. Reportedly, the Housefull franchise has proven to be a box office juggernaut over the years, collectively raking in over Rs 788 crore worldwide. Leading the charge was Housefull 4, which alone contributed a massive Rs 296 crore to the global tally. With such a strong legacy behind it, expectations are sky-high for Housefull 5 to deliver yet another blockbuster hit. On the work front, Akshay Kumar has a packed slate ahead. He will be reprising his iconic role in the much-awaited Hera Pheri 3. Additionally, he's set to feature in a key role in Vishnu Manchu's ambitious project Kannappa, sharing screen space with stars like Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Kajal Aggarwal—a lineup that's already generating massive buzz.

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Prediction: Will the latest Housefull movie end Akshay Kumar's streak of duds? Film projected to earn Rs 200 crore
Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Prediction: Akshay Kumar may have had a hectic 2024, but it certainly wasn't commercially fruitful. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Khel Khel Mein, Sarfira, Singham Again, the actor had a string of flops. 2025 also didn't start on a positive note for Akshay either, with Sky Force failing to make an impact. However, after tasting success with Kesari 2, Akshay is returning to the big screen with Housefull 5, the latest installment in the hit Housefull franchise. But will this film revive the actor's lost glory at the box office? Will Housefull 5 bring back his good fortune? Or have too many films from Akshay left the actor overexposed to his audience? We at SCREEN spoke to a few trade experts who told us Housefull 5 can be 'that film' which can turn around Akshay's fortune once again, but… 'Does Akshay Kumar's brand value still hold as strongly as it once did?' Sharing his thoughts on the same, film exhibitor Akkshay Rathie said, 'Akshay's brand value, of course, can pull the audience to theatres. It hasn't been the greatest run in recent times, but it's just a question of one film that will turn the fortune around. It has happened to so many actors. Before Wanted was released, Salman Khan had a few films that didn't do well, but after Wanted, there was no looking back. Even Shahid Kapoor had 10 films that didn't work till Sooraj Barjatiya's Vivah happened; after that, he had a thriving career. For Akshay, it's a question of one film, and hopefully Housefull 5 is that film which might make his fortune turn.' Also Read: Akshay Kumar intervenes at Housefull 5 event as women and children caught in crowd frenzy: 'Aap log ko yahan se jaana padega' Trade expert Joginder Tuteja added, 'Akshay's brand value when it comes to this franchise is impeccable. Sajid Nadiadwala has delivered four successes in a row with Housefull, so the fifth part is a very hot property. The songs have done well, trailer has worked well, of course there is a Eid factor, but as seen in the past, holiday or no holiday, if the film is something the audience is waiting for, then it will definitely take a good opening, and that will be the case here as well.' While it is a fact that Akshay Kumar hasn't had a great run at the box office lately, experts offer a different perspective. When asked if it is fair for makers to tag films as hits when they don't even manage to recover the production budgets, Akkshay Rathie said, 'It's not like Kesari 2 and Sky Force haven't worked. They have done a certain number and earned a lot of respect and love from the audience. Housefull 5 comes from a known commercial property. The franchise has always delivered numbers and earned lots of love and loyalty over its last four editions. And, a recovery of a film happens not just from the box office, but also from the sales of OTT, satellite, etc, which are very often ensured by the stardom and popularity of the lead actor. That is something Akshay Kumar continues to do even today.' 'We should not look at just the box office, but total recoveries of the film through all the avenues of monetization. As long as the people who have invested the money have a positive return, then it's all good,' Akkshay added. Joginder said, 'Who says these films didn't work? Of course, Sky Force did take one of the better openings of the year, and Kesari 2 has done well. For a niche film like that, it's a bona fide success. I am very surprised if one has a perception that these films haven't worked.' While Akshay still seems to have the charm to bring audiences to theaters, the Housefull franchise in itself is also quite powerful. Sharing what is expected from the Housefull 5, Akkshay Rathie said, 'In Housefull 5, it's not just Akshay Kumar's brand equity but also the franchise. Given the trailer, the cast, and the setup, I am very confident that the film will open to great numbers. If the reports are great, and the film is entertaining like the other parts, I am sure it will go on to do great numbers. Imagine a cast that is such an eclectic mix of people, it's one of the most exciting lineups I have seen in a while. I would be fairly disappointed if Housefull 5 doesn't do a minimum of Rs 200 crore at the box office. It has the potential to entertain the audience.' A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment) Don't Miss: Akshay Kumar, Sajid Nadiadwala answer what the actor charged for Housefull 5: 'Acche paaise liye hain par tujhe kyu bataaon?' Joginder Tuteja added, 'People have been waiting for Akshay to come up with a hardcore commercial film, and this will be that. My indication is that after Chhaava, this will be the biggest success of the year so far.' Housefull 5 has been directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Johnny Lever, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Ranjeet, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, Soundarya Sharma, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangda Singh, and more.
