Akshay Kumar Flaunts Sensual Moves As Housefull 5 Earns Rs 87 Cr: 'Dancing On Cloud Nine'
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar shares behind-the-scenes dance rehearsal as Housefull 5 collects Rs 87 crore despite mixed reviews. Akshay Kumar is celebrating Housefull 5's steady box office run with a special behind-the-scenes treat for fans. On Monday, the superstar shared a video from his dance rehearsals for the film, showing off his energetic moves alongside a choreographer. Despite the film receiving mixed reactions, Akshay is focusing on the highs. 'Still dancing on cloud nine after the incredible response Housefull 5 received this weekend! Thank you for the love and laughs! Here's a little behind-the-scenes joy from rehearsals," Akshay captioned the clip. Fans flooded the comments section with praise. 'Sir ji, you always slaying," wrote one user. Another added, 'Khiladi is back!" Some viewers celebrated his return to mainstream comedy, with a fan writing, 'So happy for your comeback. Housefull 5 proved that audiences want to see you in commercial films more than content-driven drama." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) However, not all reactions were glowing. Several social media users expressed disappointment with the film's content. Critics and viewers alike have called out Housefull 5 for its double-meaning jokes, objectification of women, and what they described as an outdated sense of humor. The film has also been criticised for its weak storyline and loud, exaggerated performances. Despite this, the Tarun Mansukhani-directed comedy continues to perform well at the box office. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, Housefull 5 has already earned Rs 87 crore in India. The film opened to an impressive Rs 24 crore on Day 1—outpacing both the previous instalment's debut and Akshay's recent releases like Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2. The upward trend continued, with the second day pulling in Rs 31 crore, taking the film's domestic total to Rs 55 crore within the first two days alone. While critics may remain divided, there's no denying the commercial appeal of the franchise and Akshay's draw among mass audiences. First Published:

Thug Life 1st Monday India Box Office: Kamal Haasan's movie grosses an irredeemable Rs 2.25 crore on day 5
Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan, Trisha, SilambarasanTR and others has spent 5 days in Indian theatres and the performance has been dismal. After an extended weekend of Rs 40.75 crore with Rs 33 crore from Tamil Nadu and Rs 7.75 crore from the rest of India, Thug Life could add barely Rs 2-2.5 crore on first Monday. The numbers are over 85 percent down from the opening day and more than 70 percent down from first Friday. Thug Life was said to be the antidote of the heavily panned Kamal Haasan biggie, Indian 2, directed by S Shankar. With the Monday trend, it is absolutely clear that Thug Life won't cross Indian 2's Rs 100 crore at the Indian box office. Forget Indian box office, even the worldwide collections will end lower than that movie's India total. The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Thug Life in India are as follows: Thursday - Rs. 17.00 cr. Friday - Rs. 7.50 cr. Saturday - Rs. 8.75 cr. Sunday - Rs. 7.50 cr. Monday Rs 2.25 cr. (Ests) Total - Rs. 43 cr. gross in 5 days The producers of Thug Life, however, are lucky. Unlike Indian 2 that failed to recover its budget even after getting good non-theatrical deals, Thug Life has managed to recover its budget from non-theatrical revenue sources. The theatrical revenue is essentially the amount that will be shared between Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam. The nominal amount that they make from their film, comes at a cost of credibility. Housefull 5, which released a day after Thug Life, has already crossed Rs 100 crore gross at the Indian box office on day 4 and it is well on course to end its run grossing over Rs 200 crore. There's a lot left for Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam to introspect after Thug Life. The movie is technically very sound and the issue is primarily with respect to the generic story and the dull screenplay. If not for that, Thug Life could have emerged as the highest grossing Tamil movie of 2025, so far. Thug Life plays in theatres now. Have you watched the crime-actioner? Do let us know.
