The trailer of Housefull 5, the fifth edition of one of Bollywood’s most popular comedy franchises, was released on May 27, 2025. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, starring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh in lead, the film is all set for a theatrical release on June 6, 2025. 

Housefull 5 trailer blends comedy, murder mystery and memes on a cruise full of chaos

The trailer starts with a voiceover of Nana Patekar explaining the entire plot. A billionaire, 'Ranjeet Dobriyal' (played by Ranjeet) is celebrating his 100th birthday on a cruise where he will be announcing his will. He says the owner of his empire is his son, Jolly. But there are three Jollys, who claim to be the real son, 'Jalabuddin' (played by Riteish Deshmukh), 'Jalbhushan' (played by Abhishek Bachchan) and 'Julius' (played by Akshay Kumar).

The plot becomes interesting when the billionaire dies, and these 3 Jollys become the prime suspect. But they are unable to remember anything as someone spiked their drinks. Who is the murderer and who is the real owner of Ranjeet’s empire? 

Apart from this, the trailer has a fight between 2 monkeys and Akshay Kumar, which reminded people of the monkey fight scene in Housefull 1. The trailer also has Jackie Shroff saying the famous meme of Tiger Shroff, ‘Choti bachi hai kya’.

A fourth user predicted the future and said 'Biggest opening of Akshay Kumar'. A fifth user appreciated a dialogue and commented ' Choti bachi ho kya was epic'.

Viewers are praising the film’s star-studded cast and its signature blend of comedy, chaos and suspense. Many fans say the trailer brings back nostalgic memories of the earlier Housefull films, especially the crazy misunderstandings, quirky characters, monkey fight and slapstick humor that defined the franchise. The murder mystery twist with a masked killer adds a fresh layer adding to the excitement. 

Not just the plot, fans are loving the hilarious dialogues like, ‘Ae dikh gaya’, ‘Lagta hai bahar jolliyo ka truck palat gaya hai’ and the most famous meme, ‘Choti bachi ho kya’. Viewers are impressed with the trailer and have a lot of expectations now. 

Challenges faced during the promotion of the film

Prior to the trailer release, the film's teaser was removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim, showing ‘The video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Mofusion Studios’ message whenever someone tried to view it, disrupting the promotional campaign. 

The reason behind the copyright was, the teaser has the song Laal Pari. Reports suggested that the rights to Laal Pari had been sold to multiple music labels, including Dinesh Productions, Zee Music and Mofusion Studios. In response to the copyright, Sajid Nadiawala had to purchase the rights of the song from all 3 entities to resolve the issue, leading to significant costs. Despite the issue, the trailer went ahead as planned and it is successfully gaining good attention from viewers. 

Housefull 5 aims to continue the franchise's tradition of combining comedy with a chaotic plot, this time adding a murder mystery element. Its box office performance will ultimately determine whether it meets the expectations set by its predecessors. What do you think of the trailer? Let us know.
