Housefull 5 Opens Well ₹20 Crore on Day 1, Akshay Kumar’s Fourth-Best Opening

Prime Highlights:

Housefull 5 has amassed around ₹20–22 crore on day one, Akshay Kumar’s fourth-best opening.
Weak advance bookings were offset by the film’s wide-level release and franchise factor.

Key Facts:

The film grossed around ₹20–22 crore on day one at the box office.
It is Akshay Kumar’s fourth-best opening after Mission Mangal, Sooryavanshi, and Gold.
Housefull 5 will presumably cross ₹300 crore in overall domestic collection, effectively bringing the franchise total close to ₹800 crore.

Key Background :

Housefull 5, the fifth installment of the hit comedy series, hit theaters on June 6, 2025. Tarun Mansukhani has directed it, and Sajid Nadiadwala produced it with Akshay Kumar in the lead supported by a competent supporting cast that consists of Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Nana Patekar. It is a whodunit where suspense and comedy are intertwined with the death of a billionaire in suspicious circumstances on a cruise ship.

The movie was made for a budget of around ₹225 crore and had comparatively poor advance booking reports prior to the release. But its theatrical release and huge fan base for the Housefull franchise have helped the movie gather a good opening day collection. The movie is highly likely to perform well at the box office in the days to come.

This robust beginning is the very thing Akshay Kumar needs, especially following a string of recent flops. Success of Housefull 5 will go a long way in adding to the franchise’s legacy and will rank among Akshay Kumar’s highest-grossers.
