STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And Singh, who has also completed 20 years in the industry as her debut Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi released in 2005, has reacted to this 'killer comedy' becoming the biggest hit of her career. The actress revealed, 'Nobody knows what the audiences want to watch, what they are going to enjoy. Do they want to watch a thriller or a love story? What is it? Everyone was keeping their fingers crossed all the time. We were messaging each other also 'Fingers crossed.' I am glad that people are happy to see a comedy.' She even spoke about the idea of two climaxes in the film, she plays the killer in version B. 'At that time we were not told right till the October of last year.

On playing a villain in Housefull 5 I think the villain is the most interesting character. The evil is always more exciting.

6 unforgettable moments from past Rockstar games that should inspire GTA 6

(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 6 is already shaping up to be Rockstar's biggest game yet, but let's be real: the legacy it's trying to top is insane. Over the years, Rockstar has dropped some of the most unforgettable moments in gaming history. From heartbreaking betrayals to 'OMG did that just happen?' missions, they've done it all. So, as we get hyped for Vice City 2.0, here are 6 legendary Rockstar moments that GTA 6 needs to take notes from. 1. The Train Scene – Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Morgan on horseback, chasing a moving train while blasting outlaws? Peak Rockstar energy. That mission had urgency, stakes, and just the right amount of chaos. Imagine GTA 6 giving us high-speed heists on a moving yacht or train through the swamps of Leonida. Yes. Please. GTA 4 - Mission #38 - Three Leaf Clover (1080p) 2. The Bank Robbery – GTA 4: Three Leaf Clover This mission had it all—tension, bullets flying, and a getaway that felt impossible. It set the standard for modern heists in GTA. GTA 6 should crank this up to 11 with dynamic getaway routes, maybe switching vehicles or even using boats to escape. And let's be honest, nothing beats robbing banks with your crew. 3. Arthur's Last Ride – RDR2 This one hurt. Arthur riding into the sunset, music swelling, knowing what's coming? Cinematic perfection. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Une astuce simple et méconnue pour réduire vos factures à presque zéro : faites-le vous aussi ! Ma Prime Énergétique Lire la suite Undo We need a moment in GTA 6 that hits this hard. Maybe Lucia facing a final decision that splits the game's ending. Give us that emotional punch we never saw coming. 4. Trevor's Introduction – GTA 5 No one forgets the first time we met Trevor—yikes. It was shocking, hilarious, and instantly set the tone. GTA 6 needs a moment like that for Jason or Lucia. Something that makes you go, 'Wait… did that just happen?' Rockstar excels at character intros that grip you instantly. Don't hold back. 5. The Drug Trip Missions – GTA 5 & GTA Online Those trippy, wild hallucination missions were pure chaos and surprisingly creative. In GTA 6, Rockstar could go even deeper with Vice City-style neon nightmares or swamp shroom detours. The weirder and unpredictable, the better. Let Lucia fight a giant gator in a dream? We're in. John Marston Meeting Up With Dutch After A Long Time Red Dead Redemption 1 Vs 2 6. Meeting Dutch Again – RDR2 The quiet pain of watching Dutch spiral while Arthur still believes in him? Yeah. Rockstar's writing was next-level here. GTA 6 could bring in similar vibes through manipulative side characters or moral dilemmas. Give us a ride-or-die story that crumbles slowly. We love the drama. GTA 6 has a chance to blend emotional storytelling, jaw-dropping chaos, and iconic moments into something unforgettable. If Rockstar taps into their greatest hits, we're not just getting a game—we're getting a moment in gaming history.

Housefull 5 Day 9 India Box Office: Akshay Kumar fronted cruise-comedy nets Rs 8.50 crore on 2nd Saturday

Tarun Mansukhani's Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar in the titular role, observed a 45 percent growth on 2nd Saturday, to gross Rs 8.25-8.75 crore. The 9 day total of the movie now stands at Rs 128.90 crore. By the end of the 2nd Sunday, the movie will be sitting at Rs 138 crore. It will aim to hit Rs 150 crore by the end of the 2nd week, after which it will find new competition in Sitaare Zameen Par. Housefull 5 had a good opening weekend but the weekday drops were higher than they should have been. Due to weak hold over the weekdays, the 2nd Friday number dropped to Rs 5.75 crore when it should have ideally been atleast Rs 7 crore if not more. The percentage of growth on Saturday is reasonable. With the same percentage, it could have netted Rs 10 crore had the 2nd Friday number been Rs 7 crore. That would also ensure the movie a finish of higher than Rs 175 crore; something that does not seem likely, at present. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Housefull 5 In India Are As Under: Day India Net Collections 1 Rs 22 crore 2 Rs 28.25 crore 3 Rs 29 crore 4 Rs 11 crore 5 Rs 9.90 crore 6 Rs 7.75 crore 7 Rs 6.50 crore 8 Rs 5.75 crore 9 Rs 8.50 crore Total Rs 128.90 crore Housefull 5 will end up as the 2nd highest grossing movie of the franchise but in terms of ticket receipts, it shall end up being the least selling film of the franchise. Internationally, Housefull 5 opened strong, taking the highest opening weekend for an Akshay Kumar movie. The holds have not been strong and thus, a lifetime total of around USD 6.75-7 million (Rs 58-60 crore) is what the movie will fancy. Going by the current trends, Housefull 5 will end up grossing Rs 260 crore worldwide. That would be Rs 15 crore less than the breakeven point of Rs 275 crore, and Rs 65 crore less than the point where it could be in contention to be called a hit. Housefull 5 plays in theatres now.
