Housefull 5: 11 seconds axed from Akshay Kumar starrer, what didn't make it to final cut?
Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Ritesih Deshmukh in lead roles, is grabbing headlines even before its release for all the right reasons. Recently, the much-awaited film's trailer was released, and it promises a fun rollercoaster ride. Now, according to a report, 11 seconds have been cut from the film by CBFC before granting them a U/A 16+ certificate.
Yes, you heard that right! A report in Bollywood Hungama stated that the makers had to make some small changes in Housefull 5, including some dialogue and chopping some scenes of around 11 seconds, to pass the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Several changes were made before being given a U/A 16+ certificate. Dialogues such as 'nikaal dungi' and 'apne' were edited. Words like 'item' and 'haram' were substituted with more appropriate alternatives, and a dialogue at the 1-hour 53-minute mark was ordered to be removed.
Apart from the above-mentioned dialogues, the film received three visual cuts. According to the cut list, a scene depicting 'champagne coming' was trimmed, while two scenes featuring some hand gestures were 'suitably modified'. Additionally, a scene featuring 'sensual visuals' was shortened by 2 seconds. Overall, 11 seconds of footage were trimmed from the final cut. Only after these changes were made, Housefull 5 received a censor certificate from CBFC.
Earlier, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that the producers had submitted two different versions of the comedy thriller to CBFC. The source also shared that given the long star-studded cast of the film, the run-time of Housefull 5 is longer than other films of the franchise which is 2 hours and 43 minutes.
Housefull 5 features a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Jackie Shroff, Chitrangada Singh, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, Johnny Lever, Dino Morea, Shreyas Talpade and Fardeen Khan. It is all set to hit the theaters on June 6, 2025

Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 Sees Strong Start With Rs 3.88 Crore Advance Booking
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 is off to a flying start, earning ₹3.88 crore in advance bookings and selling over 25,000 tickets ahead of its June 6 release. With just days to go until its grand release, Housefull 5 is already generating major momentum at the box office. The latest installment in the beloved comedy franchise has raked in a whopping ₹3.88 crore in advance bookings—five days ahead of its June 6 release date. Directed by Tanu Mansukhani, the film boasts a star-studded ensemble including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Chitrangda Singh, Nana Patekar, and more. According to data from Sacnilk, the film has already sold 25,429 tickets across India. Of the ₹3.88 crore in advance sales, ₹90.88 lakh has been collected so far, with ₹36.41 lakh coming from the Hindi-language version alone. And with interest surging, these figures are only expected to climb as opening day approaches. Adding a never-before-seen twist to the theatrical experience, Housefull 5 will release in two versions—Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B—each featuring a different climax. This dual-ending experiment marks a first in Indian cinema, allowing audiences to choose their preferred finale. So far, 14,666 tickets have been sold for one version, while the other has clocked in 9,960. Despite the buzz, Housefull 5 faces a tough box office clash with Thug Life, the Kamal Haasan-led Tamil actioner directed by Mani Ratnam, which hits cinemas on June 5. However, expectations remain sky-high. Trade analysts predict Housefull 5 could outpace Akshay Kumar's previous blockbusters like Gold (₹25.25 crore opening) and Mission Mangal (₹29.16 crore opening). Industry insiders believe the film has the potential to notch a ₹30 crore Day 1 collection—a first for the actor—and become one of his biggest international openers. Releasing on over 500 screens nationwide, Housefull 5 is shaping up to be one of the biggest comedies of the year. The franchise, which kicked off in 2010, has delivered consistent box office successes with sequels in 2012, 2016, and 2019. This marks Akshay Kumar's return to the big screen after Kesari Chapter 2 and Sky Force, and all eyes are on whether Housefull 5 can deliver the franchise's biggest hit yet.

Housefull 5 Overseas Advance Booking: Akshay Kumar aims at career best opening; Comic caper takes a positive start
Housefull 5 is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on June 6, 2025, and the international box office is already buzzing with excitement if advance bookings are anything to go by. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the comic caper's unique dual-climax strategy, peppy songs, and a fresh murder-mystery angle set on a luxury cruise have built curiosity among audiences. A USD 5 million opening weekend looks achievable, potentially making it Akshay Kumar 's biggest overseas opener ever. While the international response is electric, advance bookings in India are decent but slightly underwhelming, with hopes pinned on a last-minute surge. Let's analyse the advance bookings of Housefull 5 in key international markets in further detail. In the United States and Canada, Housefull 5 is off to a fantastic start. Early reports indicate robust ticket sales, with multiplex chains like AMC and Cineplex reporting fast-filling shows. If this momentum holds, Housefull 5 could surpass Akshay's previous overseas hits like Housefull 4 and Good Newz in 1 week flat. Singapore is also showing impressive numbers. Advance bookings have picked up nicely since the trailer release. In Australia, Housefull 5 is performing strongly, outpacing Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava but trailing slightly behind Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. New Zealand and Fiji are seeing phenomenal traction. Four days out, Housefull 5 is tracking at double the advance bookings of 2024's Diwali releases. In the UAE, advance bookings opened today, and early signs point to a strong response. The Eid festival is expected to drive huge footfalls. In India, advance bookings are off to an average start. Less than 10000 tickets have been sold in top national chains at the time of this article in 2 days. An opening of Rs 20 crore net seems difficult unless the momentum shifts in favour of the film. All that Housefull 5 now requires is positive word of mouth from the fans of the franchise. Every film of the franchise has emerged a hit or more at the box office and Housefull 5 needs to keep the track record intact. Have you booked your tickets for Housefull 5 yet? If yes, which Housefull 5 are you watching? A or B?
