‘Housefull 5' box office collections day 16: Akshay Kumar's comedy flick inches towards Rs 175 cr mark
Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Housefull 5' continues to bring in steady numbers at the box office, even in its third week. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹2.25 crore (India net) on Day 16 (June 21), bringing its total earnings to ₹172.35 crore across all languages. Strong Start, Decent Hold The film began with a ₹24 crore opening on its first Friday and soared over the weekend, collecting ₹87.5 crore in the first three days alone. Although it witnessed a predictable dip on weekdays, Housefull 5 closed its first week with a solid ₹127.25 crore. The second week saw a natural decline with collections amounting to ₹40.85 crore, yet the film held well on weekends, earning ₹9.5 crore on its second Saturday and ₹11.5 crore on its second Sunday. Steady Pace in Week 3 On third Friday (Day 15), it minted Rs 2 crore, followed by a slight uptick on Saturday (Day 16) with ₹2.25 crore, thanks to weekend footfalls. The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 19.78% on Saturday, with morning shows at 7.96%, afternoon at 20.15%, and evening at 23.78%, indicating continued interest among family audiences. Star-Studded Ensemble and Audience Pull Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 includes the actors Akshay Kumar , Riteish Deshmukh , Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan , Shreyas Talpade , Nana Patekar, and Jackie Shroff. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The film also features Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, and Chitrangada Singh, among others. ETimes review for the film reads, "Barring Riteish who manages to entertain, both Abhishek Bachchan and Akshay Kumar get little to play with as far as words are concerned. The women have nothing much to do except for upping the glam quotient and being the butt of several adult jokes. Sonam Bajwa, Fardeen Khan and Dino Morea act sensibly. Shreyas Talpade, Johnny Lever and Chunky Panday are criminally wasted. Talpade just disappears for a major part of the film, but we can't expect logic here. Can we?." With minimal competition at the box office currently, 'Housefull 5' may continue to draw in collections, particularly over the upcoming Sunday.

Kaalidhar Laapata trailer: Abhishek Bachchan gives life second chance with unusual friend in tale of abandonment, hope
After entertaining audiences with Housefull 5, actor Abhishek Bachchan will soon be seen in a new film titled Kaalidhar Laapata. (Also Read: Abhishek Bachchan: 'Every director I met said they didn't want to take the responsibility of launching me') Abhishek Bachchan's stills from his upcoming movie Kaalidhar Laapata. Directed by Madhumita, Kaalidhar Laapata stars Abhishek as Kaalidhar--a middle-aged man grappling with memory loss, abandonment and a lifetime of quiet betrayals. When he overhears his siblings' cruel plan to abandon him at the crowded Maha Kumbh Mela, Kaalidhar decides to disappear on his own terms. Fate intervenes in the form of Ballu (Daivik Bhagela), an outspoken, street-smart 8-year-old who's been surviving solo on India's chaotic streets. What begins as a chance meeting becomes the beginning of something far more profound. Abhishek Bachchan on playing Kaalidhar Sharing his experience working in the film, Abhishek in a press note said, "As actors, we often hope for stories that move us before they move anyone else--and Kaalidhar Laapata did exactly that. Playing Kaalidhar was not just a role, it was a revelation. He's fragile, childlike and deeply human--and through him, I got to explore parts of myself I hadn't visited in a while. His bond with Ballu--this fierce, fearless child--reminded me that the most unexpected friendships can sometimes teach us the most profound lessons." He added, "More than anything, it made me reflect on how we measure life--not in years, but in moments of connection, courage, and truth. Kaaldihar Laapata is another film in my journey that I feel incredibly proud of. Over the past few years, I've been consciously seeking stories that offer emotional depth, honesty, and something meaningful to say--and this one ticked every box. It's a story that touched my soul, and I hope it touches yours too." Director Madhumita also opened up about directing 'Kaalidhar Laapata'. "With Kaalidhar Laapata, I wanted to tell a story that feels both intimate and universal. It gave me a canvas to explore themes like abandonment, dignity, and the redemptive power of human connection. Kaalidhar is someone many of us have encountered or perhaps even been at some point--a person sidelined by life yet still glowing with a quiet resilience. Ballu becomes his mirror, his spark, his unexpected anchor. One of the most beautiful surprises of this film was witnessing the on-screen chemistry between Abhishek and Daivik--tender, unfiltered, and deeply moving. Their dynamic brings a refreshing honesty that stays with you long after the film ends. Through their journey, we've tried to reflect the idea that even in the most fractured chapters of life, beauty, meaning, and belonging can still be found. For me, this isn't just a film--it's a gentle meditation on what it means to be truly seen and truly accepted," Madhumita said. Kaalidhar Laapata will be out on ZEE5 on 4th July. (ANI)
