Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 8: One of Bollywood's most popular comedy franchises, “Housefull,” has made a resounding comeback with its fifth installment. “Housefull 5” has not only captured the hearts of the audience but has also consistently performed well at the box office, cementing its success. The film has earned ₹139.08 crore in eight days and is just a few lakhs away from entering the ₹150 crore club.
Akshay Kumar's Box Office Return
Akshay Kumar's career had been facing challenges in recent years. Big films like “Bachchan Pandey,” “Ram Setu,” and “Selfiee” did not perform as expected, raising questions about the superstar's star power. However, “Housefull 5” seems to have signaled Akshay's box office resurgence. The film's explosive opening and consistently increasing earnings clearly demonstrate that if content and entertainment are packaged correctly, audiences will return to theaters.
Collection Figures: Day-by-Day Earnings
- The film had a phenomenal opening of ₹24 crore on its first day. This figure increased rapidly due to holidays and weekends. In the first six days, the film earned ₹126.08 crore.
- On the seventh day, the film collected approximately ₹7 crore.
- On the eighth day, the second Friday, according to early reports from Saknilk, the film earned ₹6 crore.
- Thus, the film's total collection has reached ₹139.08 crore. It is now just ₹11 crore away from joining the ₹150 crore club, which seems definitely achievable with the weekend's momentum.
Why Audiences Loved “Housefull 5”?
The film's massive positive response is largely due to its multi-star cast, time-tested humor, and grand production value. The film features several big actors like Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, and Chunky Pandey, whose comic timing resonated well with the audience.
Furthermore, while the film's story is light-hearted, its presentation is lavish. A generous dose of entertainment, punch-line-filled dialogues, and emotional angles connecting to previous “Housefull” films brought back older audiences to theaters.
“Housefull 5” on Track to Surpass “Red 2”
If “Housefull 5” maintains its current pace, it could soon surpass “Red 2’s” lifetime collection of ₹174.15 crore. It would then become the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2025. Shah Rukh Khan's next film or Ajay Devgn's “Singham Again” might be in the lead, but “Housefull 5” has a b claim.
