Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 all set to beat Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 over the weekend to become second biggest Hindi grosser of 2025
Akshay Kumar is poised for a comeback as Housefull 5 nears the Rs 180 crore mark, potentially surpassing Raid 2 to become the second-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. Despite mixed reviews, the comedy franchise has resonated with audiences, showcasing Kumar's signature comic timing. However, Vicky Kaushal's Chaava remains the undisputed box office champion of 2025. Akshay Kumar is on the brink of reclaiming his box office dominance with the roaring success of Housefull 5. The latest installment in the long-running comedy franchise has minted an impressive Rs 170 crore at the domestic box office since its release on June 6. The film is now just a few crores away from overtaking Ajay Devgn 's Raid 2, which currently stands at Rs 173.09 crore, to become the second-biggest Hindi hit of the year so far. Exclusive | Kajol CANDID On Horror Fears and Son Yug's Voice Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' The momentum for Housefull 5 has been solid, with fans of the franchise turning up in large numbers. Despite the pre-release skepticism and mixed reviews the film has managed to deliver exactly what the audience expected — over-the-top humour, grand visuals, and Akshay Kumar's signature comic timing. However, towering above both these films is Vicky Kaushal 's historical action drama Chaava, which remains the undisputed box office king of 2025. The film shattered records with a phenomenal Rs 585.7 crore in its Hindi version alone and a staggering Rs 601.57 crore across all languages, making it one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time and the biggest hit of 2025. Back in the current race, Housefull 5 has shown remarkable consistency over weekdays and strong weekend holds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like People Born 1940-1975 With No Life Insurance Could Be Eligible For This Reassured Get Quote Undo Trade analysts note that the film has sustained better in mass belts compared to Raid 2, which witnessed a sharper drop after a strong opening week. If Housefull 5 continues at its present pace, it's likely to surpass Raid 2 by Saturday itself and could eventually wrap up its run beyond the Rs 180 crore mark. While Chaava remains unchallenged at the top by a considerable margin, this milestone will be a much-needed win for Akshay Kumar, whose recent box office outings have had a mixed reception. For now, it's a tight race for the second and third spots, but all signs point to Housefull 5 soon marching past Raid 2, bringing back the laughs — and the numbers — for both Akshay Kumar and Bollywood's comedy franchise space.

Bollywood's 2025 box office is witnessing a vibrant run, with Vicky Kaushal's 'Chaava' leading with ₹31 crore. Salman Khan's 'Sikandar' follows with ₹26 crore, while 'Housefull 5' secures the third spot at ₹24 crore. Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' opened with ₹11.7 crore, marking a decent start amidst action-packed competitors. Bollywood's box office in 2025 has been nothing short of a spectacle, with several high-profile releases setting the cash registers ringing. From action-packed extravaganzas to franchise blockbusters, the year has already seen multiple big openers. Among them, Aamir Khan 's much-anticipated Sitaare Zameen Par secured the 6th position in the list of top Day 1 openers for Hindi films this year. Exclusive | Kajol CANDID On Horror Fears and Son Yug's Voice Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' On its opening day, Sitaare Zameen Par collected Rs 11.7 crore at the domestic box office. While not a record-breaker by Aamir's past standards, it's a decent start for an emotional family drama — especially in a market currently dominated by larger-than-life actioners and franchise comedies. Here's how the top openers of 2025 stack up so far: Vicky Kaushal 's Chaava – Rs 31 crore Salman Khan 's Sikandar – Rs 26 crore Akshay Kumar 's Housefull 5 – Rs 24 crore Ajay Devgn 's Raid 2 – Rs 19.25 crore Akshay Kumar's Sky Force – Rs 12.25 crore Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par – Rs 11.7 crore Sunny Deol 's Jaat – Rs 9.5 crore Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 – Rs 7.75 crore Rajkummar Rao 's Bhool Chuk Maaf – Rs 7 crore Leading the charge is Vicky Kaushal's period action drama Chaavabased on life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, which exploded onto screens with Rs 31 crore, marking his career-best opener. Salman Khan's Eid release Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, followed with Rs 26 crore. The tried-and-tested comedy franchise Housefull 5 claimed the third spot with Rs 24 crore, while Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 comfortably took the fourth position at Rs 19.25 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Air conditioners without external unit.
