Housefull 5 X reviews: Fans hail Akshay Kumar ensemble-comedy as fully 'paisa vasool'
We love a good spread of options when it comes to our weekend plans. And the makers of Housefull 5 have found just the perfect way to capitalise on it. In a fun first, Housefull 5, which released in theatres earlier today, the makers have presented the audience with the option to chose their own ending. No literally! Booking your tickets online will present you with the option of either going for Housefull 5A or Housefull 5B. The difference? Completely different climaxes! Well this little nifty addition appears to be a motivating factor enough for fans to flock to the theatres. First reviews of the film in on X, describe it as a thorough entertainer, full of slapstick moments and in short — completely 'paisa vasool'. Comments lauding the film, especially Akshay's work and presence in it read: "A good entertaining film from bwood after a long time. As usual Akshay Kumar is the soul of the film, He owned the celluloid with his peak comedy timing & The climax was a mad experience 🔥 ", "if you're in the mood for a laugh riot - this one delivers", "Comedy Movies have been missing for a while- we need to protect those who make us laugh" and "When Akshay, Riteish, and Johnny Lever team up, you just know you're in for a laugh riot 😄" to quote a few. Coming to the choose-your-own-ending strategy, it's a sure shot winner, because curiosity of a film well-enjoyed is pushing people to return to the theatres to see if they picked the better option in the first place. A comment expressing the same read, "Abhi ek show dekh ke nikla hoon Housefull ka #Housefull5B… ab 5 baje ka doosra show dekhne jaa raha hu #Housefull5A Kisi aur se spoiler milne se pehle khud dekhna hai kaun hai doosre ending ka killer 🔥". Still confused about your weekend plans?

Housefull 5 X Movie Review: Akshay Kumar-Starrer Hits Theatres With Star-Studded Chaos And Mixed Reactions From Netizens
New Delhi – Bollywood's mega comedy franchise Housefull returned with its fifth instalment on June 6, and the internet is already buzzing with early reviews. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 boasts an unprecedented ensemble cast of 19 A-list actors — a first for any Hindi film. The film features Akshay Kumar at the helm, alongside Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Chitrangda Singh, and Nana Patekar, among others. The plot unfolds aboard a luxury cruise ship where a billionaire's mysterious death sparks a chaotic whodunit laced with the franchise's signature slapstick humour. Despite the massive buzz, audience reactions on social media have been divided. Some hailed the film as a laugh riot, while others criticised it for its chaotic storytelling and recycled humour. One viral post described the film as 'chaotic' and full of reused jokes, adding, "Akshay Kumar carries the entire film, everyone else just feels like part of the chaos crew. Haunted palace, two endings, three heroes, and only one rule: "Don't use logic" The jokes are recycled, the plot's lost, but if you're into mindless comedy, it delivers some laughs. Perfect for weekend popcorn + doston ke chilla-chilli combo. /5 (1 clap for Akshay, 2 for pure nostalgia)" Akshay Kumar carries the entire film, everyone else just feels like part of the chaos crew.
