Mumbai: Housefull 5 has finally hit theatres. Besides Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan, the film also features stars like 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.
Apart from the stellar cast, which will surely help bring in the audience, the filmmakers have another trick up their sleeve with this particular movie.
Housefull 5 will have two different endings for the audience, and each will reveal a different killer in the climax. This move can help double down on the numbers, as curious fans might end up going to watch the film twice in different theatres.
Famous film critic, Taran Adarsh gave three and a half stars to the movie and wrote on X, “The #Housefull franchise returns with a bang – this time, it’s bigger, louder, and crazier… A paisa-vasool entertainer with madness, a thrilling climax, and mass moments galore. #Housefull5Review First things first: In a film like #Housefull5, logic takes a backseat… The key is to surrender yourself to the craziness and enjoy the rollercoaster ride”.
Talking about the film’s budget, Rohit Jaiswal told us, “Usually, when it comes to a film’s budget, around 45-50% of that amount should be its theatrical value. A film’s earnings are divided across various streams- satellite rights, OTT platforms, music rights, brand collaborations, and more. So ideally, a film’s theatrical value should be around 45-50% of its total budget.”
He added, “A lot has been said about the budget of this particular film. From what I can observe, despite the film featuring many stars, apart from Akshay Kumar, there isn’t any actor who commands a double-digit (crore) salary. Also, Sajid Nadiadwala is a well-respected producer, and he knows the right value each actor deserves. Of course, the making cost may be on the higher side, but in my opinion, the total budget of this film should not exceed Rs 200 crore.”
