Housefull 5 Box Office Performance on Opening Day
Housefull 5, featuring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Ritesh Deshmukh in leading roles, has officially premiered in cinemas. The film generated significant buzz prior to its release, thanks to its dual versions and a star-studded cast. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, it hit theatres on June 6, 2025. Let's take a look at the box office earnings of Housefull 5 and its ranking among other films released in 2025.
Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 1:
As reported by Sacnilk, Housefull 5 garnered ₹23 crore on its first day. This impressive figure positions it as the third-highest opening for a Bollywood film in 2025, trailing only behind Salman Khan's Sikandar and Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava.
The storyline unfolds on a lavish cruise ship where a billionaire meets his demise, leaving his wealth to a man named Jolly. However, three individuals claim to be Jolly, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and chaotic events.
The film also features notable actors such as Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Chunky Pandey, and Johnny Lever in significant roles. The leading ladies include Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma.
The filmmakers have introduced two distinct versions titled ‘Housefull 5 A’ and ‘Housefull 5 B’, each offering different conclusions and climaxes, as the franchise explores a whodunnit theme. This approach is not entirely new in Indian cinema; the 1998 Malayalam film ‘Harikrishnans’ employed a similar strategy and achieved great success, featuring stars Mohanlal and Mammootty alongside Juhi Chawla, which created considerable anticipation among fans.
