Star Cast and Their Impact
Akshay Kumar:
Once again, Akshay proves why he is one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars. After facing a few underwhelming box office performances in the last couple of years, his return to the comedy genre with Housefull 5 has turned out to be a winning formula.
Riteish Deshmukh:
A core member of the franchise, Riteish brings in his signature comic timing, contributing significantly to the film’s success.
Abhishek Bachchan:
Abhishek, who was part of Housefull 3, returns with a fresh twist, and audiences have appreciated his performance in ensemble scenes.
The supporting cast, including Pooja Hegde, Kriti Sanon, and Chunky Pandey, adds to the film’s multi-generational comic appeal.
Housefull Franchise: A Legacy of Laughter and Box Office Success
The Housefull series, which began in 2010, has consistently delivered blockbuster comedy entertainment. Here’s a quick look at the performance of each installment:
Film | Release Year | Lifetime Collection (₹ Cr) |

Housefull 3 | 2016 | ₹109 crore |
Housefull 4 | 2019 | ₹205 crore |
