Guess who’s back? The Housefull gang! The anticipation for Housefull 5 is high, as it’s off to a flying start, raking in a whopping ₹13.94 crore in advance bookings for its opening day. Looks like this movie is set to be a box office smash!
Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan are back, and with their return, Housefull 5 boasts some of the highest advance ticket sales for a Bollywood flick this year. What’s really got people talking is the unique twist: two versions of the film are being released, Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B, each with a different ending. Talk about keeping audiences on their toes!
Word is, Housefull 5 is India’s priciest comedy ever, with a ₹225 crore budget. That kind of investment shows – expect big production value, a huge cast, and a story that’s really going for it.
Speaking of cast, it’s a who’s who of Bollywood! Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, and the legendary Nana Patekar are all on board. And get this – Nana Patekar’s ‘Phoogdi dance’ is already a viral sensation, becoming a highlight in Housefull 5.
Here’s a peek at how the movie’s doing in some key areas:
- Maharashtra: ₹2.95 crore
- Delhi NCR: ₹2.34 crore
- Gujarat: ₹1.25 crore
- Karnataka: ₹1.02 crore
These numbers really highlight how widely the film Housefull 5 is resonating with audiences all over.
As the fifth movie in the Housefull series, it looks like this one’s continuing the tradition of delivering laughs. With those strong advance bookings, Housefull 5 is looking like another big win for the franchise.
