Housefull 5 LEAKED Online on Piracy Sites; Here's Why Illegal Downloads Are Risky
Last Updated: Housefull 5 Movie Download: Akshay Kumar's latest release has fallen prey to piracy. The film has been leaked on various platforms in multiple formats. Housefull 5 Movie Leaked Online: Akshay Kumar's latest release has fallen prey to piracy. Despite actors and filmmakers repeatedly warning the audience against illegal downloading, piracy hasn't been curbed totally. The film has been leaked across various piracy platforms on the opening day. Just hours after Housefull 5 hit theatres, pirated versions of the film reportedly began circulating across multiple illegal platforms. The comedy-drama was leaked in various formats, including HD, 1080p, 720p, and lower resolutions. The film is currently streaming on common piracy sites such as Filmyzilla, Movierulez, Tamilrockerz, and several Telegram channels. Soon after, piracy-related keywords like 'Housefull 5 Movie Download', 'Housefull 5 HD Free Download', 'Housefull 5 Tamilrockers', and 'Housefull 5 Telegram Links' began trending online, sparking concerns about the growing impact of digital piracy. The makers have yet to issue a statement on the matter. The makers of Housefull 5 experimented with two endings, which will vary from theatre to theatre. On the film's release date, fans have been specifically urging others to not reveal or discuss the spoilers on social media. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), a fan wrote, 'My sincere request to fans to not post live scenes direct from the cinema of #Housefull5 here – let us enjoy theater viewing." Another penned, ''#Housefull5 please don't post any spoilers. it's a request." Yet another posted, 'Another fan wrote, '#Housefull5 Day, caution Do not leak the killer . No need to spoilers to any scene Go watch and enjoy with your family." Before the release of his films, Akshay Kumar specifically requests fans to stand up against piracy. Before the release of his 2017 film, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, the actor wrote on social media: 'The fight against piracy is critical and it's reassuring to see the swift action taken by the Crime Branch on the unfortunate incident involving our film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. I would like to urge my friends, colleagues, fans and audiences to please say no to piracy. Thank you for all your support." Why watching pirated version of films isn't recommended Watching leaked versions of films on pirated sites has its own downsides. Clicking on suspicious links can expose you to malware threats and financial scams. Users will have to compromise on quality, and explicit ads along with inappropriate pop-ups create an unsafe environment for viewers. Moreover, accessing pirated content violates copyright laws and can result in serious legal consequences. First Published: June 06, 2025, 14:42 IST

Ishaan Khatter-Bhumi Pednekar's The Royals returns for Season 2, but fans say no thanks; here's everything to know
Unless you've been blissfully off the grid, you've probably heard of The Royals, one of the more buzzworthy OTT releases in recent months. With Ishaan Khatter doing his best six-pack diplomacy as the Maharaja of Morpur, the show certainly made a splash. And now, like a royal decree no one really asked for, Netflix has officially announced Season 2 — and the reaction online is… not exactly celebratory. The official Netflix India Instagram dropped the announcement with the caption: 'Old money, new blood and a new season is in the works 👑🐎 The Royals Season 2 is coming soon, only on Netflix.' While the OTT giant might have hoped for a round of applause, what they got instead was a digital eye-roll. Within minutes, the comment section filled up with reactions that ranged from sceptical to outright savage. 'Genuinely why??' one user asked, echoing what appeared to be the sentiment of many. 'Hopefully, some acting will also be there this time!!' snarked another. 'Top 1 thing no one asked for today,' chimed in a third. 'Oh lord! The makers didn't get enough of torturing us with Season 1 that they're making a second?' read a particularly harsh comment. A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) And then came the Bhumi Pednekar backlash — a trend that, unfortunately for the actor, has lingered since the premiere of Season 1. While Bhumi is known for her past work in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017) and Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), her performance in The Royals was widely panned as unimpressive. 'No Bhumi please…' wrote one disappointed viewer. 'Replace Bhumi 🙏🏻,' was another comment. Set in the fictional princely city of Morpur in Rajasthan, The Royals follows Prince Aviraaj Singh (Ishaan), a reluctant heir who inherits a crumbling royal estate and crosses paths with Sophia Kanmani Shekhar (Bhumi), an ambitious entrepreneur trying to build a five-star boutique hotel called the Royal B&B. The show boasted a star-studded cast with Vihaan Samat as the conniving younger brother Digvijay, Zeenat Aman as the glamorous royal grandmother, Sakshi Tanwar as the iron-willed Rani Padmaja, and glitzy cameos from Milind Soman, Nora Fatehi, and Dino Morea. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the series was produced by Pritish Nandy Communications and created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy. Despite the backlash, The Royals did manage to garner a substantial following, perhaps precisely because of the 'so-bad-it's-good' entertainment value. Now, whether Season 2 will redeem itself or double down on its over-the-top melodrama remains to be seen.

What scares Akshay Kumar more than falling from a helicopter? Actor's answer might surprise you
Akshay Kumar , who recently appeared in Kesari Chapter 2 and Sky Force, opened up about his thoughts on success, failure, and the role of audience feedback in shaping his career. Even though his recent films did not achieve blockbuster status at the box office, they earned critical acclaim, and the actor received praise for his performances. #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack India stares at a 'water bomb' threat as it freezes Indus Treaty India readies short, mid & long-term Indus River plans Shehbaz Sharif calls India's stand "worn-out narrative" Speaking in an interview shared on Zee Music India's YouTube channel, Akshay explained his relationship with the audience. "Audience hi maalik hai because they pay for the whole thing. When they clap for me, then it's a motivation and when they criticise, I get to learn as well. I always want to evolve my work. If I get genuine feedback, I never ignore it. Be it script choices or role selection. It has happened several times when people have said, 'Kuch alag karo.' So, I tried doing different movies as well. Criticism hurts sometimes, but if it comes from the heart, then it only makes you better," he said. The actor emphasized that while positive feedback energizes him, constructive criticism plays a crucial role in helping him refine his craft. He shared that he always strives to diversify his roles and grow with every project he takes on. Fear of Becoming Irrelevant During the same conversation, Akshay Kumar candidly spoke about his deepest fear — the fear of becoming irrelevant in the industry. He said, "Besides falling from a helicopter, my biggest fear is that when I wake up one day and there are no messages. Uss din mujhe lagega ki meri baari khatam hogayi. I am not needed now. I think this is the reason why I don't want to stop. I want to keep on working. It is a small life. I don't want to rest and make my life smaller. I want it to be bigger. Main tab araam karunga jab iss duniya mein nahi rahunga. In simple words, I'll keep on working till they have to shoot me down." Akshay expressed that the thought of not receiving calls or messages regarding work is something that truly frightens him. It pushes him to stay active and continuously seek opportunities to perform and contribute. According to him, work keeps him alive and connected with life, and he wants to keep going without taking breaks, believing that resting would only make his life feel shorter. Continual Evolution Through Films Throughout his career, Akshay Kumar has been recognized for taking on projects that not only entertain but also bring attention to important social issues. Films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Padman, and OMG 2 are examples of his efforts to spark meaningful conversations through cinema. He mentioned that when audiences relate to these stories and feel inspired, it feels rewarding as an actor. Reflecting on his choices, Akshay shared that he always listens carefully to the audience's voice, whether they applaud or suggest change. His willingness to take feedback seriously has led him to experiment with a wide variety of roles and subjects over the years, underlining his commitment to constant evolution. Kesari Chapter 2 Success On the professional front, Akshay is currently enjoying the success of Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, a historical courtroom drama featuring R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday alongside him. The film has received a positive response and collected over ₹50 crore in India within the first eight days of its release. Globally, the film has managed to earn ₹75 crore, solidifying Akshay's position as an actor who continues to resonate with audiences across different genres.
