Returning to the Roots of Comedy

Housefull 5 promises to stay true to that legacy, with director Tarun Mansukhani known for his fast-paced storytelling and a knack for timing-based comedy.
The screenplay reportedly weaves together multiple subplots involving family feuds, romantic chaos, and mistaken relationships—all delivered with classic Bollywood flair.

This includes theatrical releases in India, North America, the Middle East, and the UK. Given the franchise’s popularity, a wide digital release on OTT platforms is expected a few months after the theatrical run.
Marketing has already begun with music launches, teaser rollouts, and media interactions. Full trailers and additional songs are expected to follow throughout May.
