'Housefull 5' Box Office Collection: Explosive Opening with ₹23 Crore on Day 1, Beats 'Kesari Chapter 2'

The much-anticipated comedy entertainer Housefull 5 has taken the box office by storm with a grand opening, earning approximately ₹23 crore on its first day of release. Featuring a power-packed ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh, the film premiered worldwide on June 6.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 has managed to surpass the Day 1 collection of Akshay Kumar’s previous release, Kesari Chapter 2. The buzz around the film was high even before its release, and the numbers confirm its strong appeal among audiences.

What makes Housefull 5 unique is its dual-format release. The film has been launched in two versions – Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B – each offering a different climax. This innovative approach has intrigued viewers and added to the film's box office draw.

With its trademark double-meaning dialogues, slapstick comedy, and chaotic storyline, the Housefull franchise continues to maintain its identity. Akshay Kumar's comic timing and strong screen presence have once again proven to be box office gold.

Audience reactions to the film have been mixed. While some viewers praised the film as “non-stop laughter with suspense,” others felt the humor was over-the-top. Still, the general consensus leans toward entertainment, with many calling it a solid comedy-thriller.

The film also features Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff in key roles. The star-studded cast and the franchise's established popularity seem to be working well for the film.

Housefull 5 released shortly after Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life, and early indications suggest that Thug Life may struggle to keep up with the explosive start of the comedy juggernaut.

With strong word-of-mouth and the weekend ahead, the box office collection of Housefull 5 is expected to climb even higher in the coming days.
