Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and featuring a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri, is showing steady performance at the box office. On Discount Tuesday, where ticket prices ranged between ₹149–₹199 across key multiplex chains, the film added a solid ₹8.75–₹9.75 crore to its collections. This strategy helped maintain consistent footfalls despite weekday drops.
After five days in theatres, Housefull 5 has netted ₹99.50 crore in India. It is set to become the fourth film in the franchise to cross the ₹100 crore milestone—a rare achievement for any film series in Indian cinema. However, in today’s climate, due to inflation and changing audience expectations, the ₹100 crore benchmark is no longer considered the gold standard. Tentpole releases now aim for ₹500 crore or more.

The Road Ahead
The film faces a crucial test on Wednesday, as it will no longer benefit from the weekend surge or the discounted Tuesday prices. Sustaining momentum through small weekday drops will be key to setting up a strong second weekend.
Housefull 5 aims to cross the ₹200 crore net mark in India, with an eye on surpassing Housefull 4’s ₹205.50 crore total. With a reported breakeven point at ₹275 crore worldwide, and a potential “hit” status at ₹325 crore, much of the film’s success will depend on global theatrical response.
Housefull 5 is currently playing in cinemas nationwide.
