Housefull 5 Advance Booking: Akshay Kumar starrer tops 10,000 tickets in National Chains; Aims to gain momentum
Akshay Kumar returns to the big screen on June 6 with the Sajid Nadiadwala-produced Housefull 5, and the full-fledged advances for the comic caper opened on Sunday morning. As on Monday at 5.30 PM, Housefull 5 has sold 10,250 tickets in the top 3 national chains, PVRInox and Cinepolis, and the film will be looking to close T-3 at pre-sales of 14,000 tickets in the multiplexes. The advance bookings are better than most of the Akshay Kumar films in the post-pandemic world, however, the pace could have been faster. The target for Housefull 5 should be to go in the north of 1,25,000 tickets in the national chains by Thursday night, and aim at a start around the Rs 20.00 crore to 25 crore mark and then hope for the reports to come into play over the weekend. The film has a holiday on Saturday, which means that the positive audience reports could push the film to a bigger than usual jump on the second day. The advance bookings in other multiplex chains like Rajhans, MovieMax and Miraj is relatively better, which is always an early indicator about the scope for walk-ups on the day of release. While Miraj has sold about 650 tickets, MovieMax has recorded a pre-sale of 375 tickets. Housefull 5 should be aiming to record an advance in the excess of 3000 tickets in MovieMax. Rajhans, which is a key chain of Gujarat stands at advance booking of 500 tickets, and this centre should be showing very good momentum on Wednesday and Thursday. These are still early days, and we will have a clear picture on where the film is headed by end of Wednesday. The overseas pre-sales for the comic caper give us some optimism on the film to gain momentum in India as well. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more analysis on Housefull 5.

Prince Hashim attends Al Israa wal Miraj celebration
Deputising of His Majesty King Abdullah, HRH Prince Hashim Bin Al Hussein attends on Monday a ceremony, marking the occasion of Al Israa wal Miraj (Petra photo) AMMAN — Deputising of His Majesty King Abdullah, HRH Prince Hashim Bin Al Hussein attended a ceremony on Monday, marking the occasion of Al Israa wal Miraj. The event, organised by the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, took place at the cultural centre of the King Abdullah I Mosque. The Israa, followed by the Miraj, took place on Rajab 27, the seventh month of the Hijri lunar calendar, in the 10th year of Mohammad's prophethood. Islamic sources say the prophet was carried from the Holy Mosque in Mecca to the Farthest Mosque (Al Aqsa Mosque) in Jerusalem on a creature called Al Buraq, and in the company of the archangel Gabriel, who took him to heaven. During the ceremony, Minister of Awqaf Mohammad Khalaileh emphasised the importance of the occasion as a reflection of the nation's enduring commitment to its Islamic heritage and history. He described the event as an opportunity to honour the Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) journey and reaffirm the duty to protect Islamic sanctities. Khalaileh called for unity in support of the Kingdom's efforts to protect Islamic holy sites, especially in light of the increasing threats to Al Aqsa Mosque. "Anyone who believes that Muslims will give up even an inch of Al-Aqsa Mosque is deeply mistaken," he said. "Throughout history, Muslims have made great sacrifices to defend it, from the Pact of Umar to its liberation under Salahuddin Al Ayyubi. The Arab Army defended it bravely, and the martyrs rest along its walls, their graves standing as eternal symbols of their sacrifice." The event was attended by senior officials and dignitaries, including Royal Court Chief Yousef Issawi, the Grand Mufti of Jordan Ahmed Al Hasanat, the Chief Islamic Justice Abdulhafith Rabtah, Imam of the Royal Court Ahmed Khalaileh and the Secretary General of the Ministry of Awqaf Abdullah Aqil. Also present were Senator Ahmad Hlayel, Grand Mufti of the Jordanian Armed Forces Col. Hassan Mukhatereh, Mufti of the Public Security Directorate Col. Samer Hwamlah, senior military and civilian officials, and ambassadors of Arab and Islamic nations accredited to Jordan.

Al Israa wal Miraj anniversary
Ammon News - The Islamic world on Monday marks the anniversary of Al Israa wal Miraj, Prophet Mohammad's nocturnal journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and his ascension to heaven. The Israa, followed by the Miraj, took place on Rajab 27, the seventh month of the Hijri lunar calendar, in the 10th year of Mohammad's prophethood. Islamic sources say the prophet was carried from the Holy Mosque in Mecca to the Farthest Mosque (Al Aqsa Mosque) in Jerusalem on a creature called the Buraq, and in the company of the archangel Gabriel (known in Arabic as Jibril). There Prophet Mohammad led a congregational prayer of the prophets of God. After that, Gabriel took him to the heavens where he met prophets Adam, John, Jesus, Idris, Aaron and Moses. In the seventh heaven, he met Abraham, according to Islam Online, an authoritative Islamic web portal. During the divine journey, Allah ordered the five daily prayers for the Muslim nation. The prophet then returned to Mecca on the same night.
