Mumbai: Akshay Kumar’s multi-starrer comedy, “Housefull 5,” is proving to be a surprising success at the box office, defying the mixed to negative reviews it has garnered since its release. In just eight days, the film has managed to collect a staggering ₹130 crore (and counting) in India, solidifying its position as a commercial hit.
The latest installment in the popular “Housefull” franchise, known for its slapstick humor and ensemble cast, opened to considerable anticipation. While critics have largely panned the film for its predictable plot, over-the-top comedy, and at times, questionable humor, audiences appear to be embracing the familiar formula. The movie, which brings together a host of stars including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and more, seems to be a preferred choice for moviegoers seeking lighthearted entertainment.
With no major Hindi film releases slated for this weekend, “Housefull 5” is expected to dominate the box office and continue its strong run. Industry analysts predict a healthy second weekend for the film, further adding to its impressive collections. This clear window will allow the comedy to maximize its earnings until Aamir Khan’s highly anticipated “Sitaare Zameen Par” hits theatres on June 20, which is likely to introduce significant competition.
“Housefull 5″‘s success highlights the enduring appeal of mass-market comedies, even in the face of critical disapproval. It demonstrates that a well-established franchise, coupled with popular stars, can still draw audiences to cinemas, proving that sometimes, unadulterated laughter trumps nuanced storytelling at the ticket window.
