The excitement is real as Housefull 5 advance booking opens with a bang! Within the first 13 hours, more than 24,000 tickets have already been sold, showing the huge anticipation for this comedy thriller. The movie, starring 19 big Bollywood stars including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh, is set to release on Friday, June 6, 2025. Fans still have four more days to book their tickets early and grab the best seats.
Unique Twist: Two Climaxes, Two Different Experiences
What makes Housefull 5 stand out is its innovative storytelling — the movie features two climaxes! This means audiences will get to see two different endings with two separate murder suspects. When booking tickets, viewers will have to choose between Housefull 5 A and Housefull 5 B, promising a unique experience on different screens. The trailer, released five days ago, has already crossed 18 million views, adding to the hype.
Massive Advance Booking Numbers and Earnings
According to ticketing platform Sacnilk, by Sunday evening, advance bookings for Housefull 5 started across 7,517 shows. In just 13 hours, the movie grossed nearly ₹89.46 lakh from 24,626 pre-booked tickets. When blocked seats are included, the advance booking revenue has reached a whopping ₹3.85 crore! With four days left before release, both the number of shows and ticket sales are expected to grow rapidly.
Big Budget, Bigger Expectations for Box Office Hit
With a star-studded cast and high production value, Housefull 5 has a budget of around ₹375 crore. Producers are aiming for a massive box office collection of ₹450-500 crore to declare the film a hit, and crossing ₹650 crore would make it a blockbuster. Given the film’s popularity and fanbase, it is expected to be one of the biggest Bollywood openings of 2025.
Star-Studded Cast Led by Akshay Kumar
The film boasts an impressive ensemble including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chiranjeevi Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjit, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir — making it the most glamorous Housefull film yet.
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s Big Bet After Pandemic Struggles
For producer Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 is more than just a film—it’s a crucial project. His production house, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, celebrated 75 years in the industry this year but has been struggling to deliver a major hit since the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven films released after the pandemic, including Salman Khan’s Eid release Sikander, failed to create box office magic. Here’s a quick look at their post-pandemic earnings:
- Tadap: ₹26.81 crore
- 83: ₹107.31 crore
- Bachchan Pandey: ₹51.04 crore
- Heropanti 2: ₹21.50 crore
- Satyaprem Ki Katha: ₹77.04 crore
- Chandu Champion: ₹63.57 crore
- Sikander: ₹110.36 crore
Nadiadwala and director Tarun Mansukhani are hoping Housefull 5 will end this dry spell with a bang.
