‘Housefull 5' box office collection Day 16: Akshay Kumar's film mints Rs 170.16 crores
Akshay Kumar 's latest ensemble comedy 'Housefull 5' continues to perform strongly at the box office, with the film collecting ₹170.16 crore (India net) by the end of its 16th day. Housefull 5 Movie Review Directed by Tarun Mansukhani , the film has turned out to be a major commercial entertainer. Strong Opening Week Sets the Tone According to the Sacnilk website, the film had a thunderous start with a ₹24 crore haul on Day 1, which only picked up momentum over the first weekend. With ₹31 crore on Saturday and ₹32.5 crore on Sunday, 'Housefull 5' closed its first weekend at ₹87.5 crore. The weekday performance also held well, bringing the first week total to a solid ₹127.25 crore. Despite the expected drop post-weekend, the film maintained a decent pace throughout the weekdays and remained the top choice for family audiences and comedy lovers. Week 2 Sees Predictable Drop But Holds Decently In Week 2, 'Housefull 5' witnessed a 67.90% dip, collecting ₹40.85 crore over seven days. The second weekend managed to cushion the fall slightly with ₹6 crore on Friday, ₹9.5 crore on Saturday, and ₹11.5 crore on Sunday. However, the weekday numbers slowed down with collections ranging between ₹2.85–4.25 crore. Even in its third week, the film managed ₹2.06 crore on its third Friday (Day 15), with Saturday's numbers yet to be finalized, indicating that the film is still drawing crowds in selected centres. Star Power and Ensemble Cast Drive the Numbers With Akshay Kumar leading a large cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh , Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan , Nana Patekar , Jackie Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, and more, Housefull 5 delivers the trademark slapstick chaos that fans expect from the franchise. ETimes review for the movie reads, 'The film somewhat takes off in the second half but truly sheds its stagnancy only in the climax, a bit too late. This also marks the arrival of Nana Patekar. The senior actor, a master of the genre (control Uday… control of Welcome) shows how it's done. As a dhoti clad interpol chief based in London, rooted in Maharashtra, Patekar is terrific and infuses life into this overloaded, derailed cruise. Sajid Nadiadwala tries to blend comedy with murder mystery through his script and fails at both barring the climax. It's the last 20 minutes along with Nana's entry that truly entertain you. This is what you expected Housefull 5 to be… thrilling, unpredictable and funny. Sajid even manages to conceal the identity of the killer till the end, but the humour aspect falls miserably flat.'

The Malayalam version recorded minimal traction with an overall occupancy of only 2.32%.
