Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan starrer 'Housefull 5' crosses Rs. 13 crore in advance booking. Early reviews give a thumbs up to the film's 'killer twist'.
Housefull 5 has been in talks for its latest twist, known for its stellar comedy, which left the fans holding their stomach with laughter and has now added a suspenseful twist. The film has introduced a killer, which, according to the film's director, Tarun Mansukhani, has introduced multiple endings in the film. However, the film has been released, and after much anticipation, the first verdict is out!
The cast of Housefull 5, like other preceding films in the franchises, has been star-studded, with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan playing the male leads in the film. They are joined by some of the ace actors, including Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chucky Panday, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, and Ranjeet Bedi.
With the possibility of curious fans watching the film twice to enjoy the promised double ending with different murderers, chances of the film doing well at the box office seem positive. Fans have surely taken a keen interest in the film and are eager to see what scene made it from the drawing board to the cameras. On the other hand, since the killer will be revealed at the end of the film, it will have to keep the audience engaged enough throughout the film for them to come back for 'killer 2'.
Housefull has been a fan favourite for a long time now, and the new twists in the fifth instalments had them on their heels. However, let's see what the early watchers have to say about the film. Taking to X, a user revealed, "Today I watched Bollywood's best comedy movie, I enjoyed it, one better than the other jokes. No one can do a better comedy movie than Akshay Kumar." Another penned:
"#Housefull5 (#Housefull5A ) Movie Review: A Madcap entertainer that gets you giggling, yelling, whistling and applauding in your seat #AkshayKumar's comedy timing and onliners are top notches, and he delivers his best for this instalment. Both #RiteshDeshmuk and #AbhishekBachchan are spectacular throughout the movie. #SanjayDutt's role has suspense that will be revealed in the climax. Sajid Nadiadwala and Tarun Manusukhani combo worked well as a result this will the best movie of #Housefull series. Waiting to watch #Housefull5B."
A comment penned, "#Housefull5 The first half of Housefull 5 is brilliant mind-blowing; will review the next half soon. Box office tsunami aane wala hai." Another commented, "#Housefull5 is a riotous rollercoaster of laughs & suspense... The equal prominence of all the characters adds depth & unpredictability, making the mystery richer & the chaos even more enjoyable..A true team performance with a stunning climax."
According to Akkshay Rathie, in a conversation with SCREEN, the film can be a game changer for Akshay Kumar after a series of averages and flops. The trade expert gauged Housefull 5's expected box office trajectory, and many believe that Housefull 5 could be the film that could turn things around for Akshay Kumar. He was quoted as saying:
"Akshay’s brand value, of course, can pull the audience to theatres. It hasn’t been the greatest run in recent times, but it’s just a question of one film that will turn the fortune around. It has happened to so many actors. Before Wanted was released, Salman Khan had a few films that didn’t do well, but after Wanted, there was no looking back. Even Shahid Kapoor had 10 films that didn’t work till Sooraj Barjatiya’s Vivah happened; after that, he had a thriving career. For Akshay, it’s a question of one film, and hopefully, Housefull 5 is that film which might make his fortune turn."
