Akshay Kumar’s much-anticipated comedy flick Housefull 5 continues to draw crowds at the box office as it moves into its second week. Now in its 11th day, the film has shown a decent hold on its second Monday—a critical test that often determines a film’s long-term theatrical performance. Despite being a weekday, Housefull 5 has managed to pull in a respectable number, affirming its place as a crowd-pleaser among family audiences and fans of the franchise.
After a strong opening week driven by weekend footfall and star power, the film’s performance on the second Monday was keenly watched by trade analysts. According to early estimates, Housefull 5 collected in the range of ₹4.75 to ₹5.25 crore on Day 11. Though the numbers dipped slightly compared to the weekend, the film held its ground better than many recent comedies released in the post-pandemic era.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 marks the latest installment in the hugely successful Housefull series, known for its slapstick humor, outrageous twists, and ensemble cast antics. With Akshay Kumar leading the charge, the film also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Pooja Hegde, Kriti Sanon, John Abraham, and Abhishek Bachchan in pivotal roles, making it one of the most star-studded comedy films in recent years.
The film’s second-weekend collection played a crucial role in ensuring it remains profitable, especially with tough competition from other big releases on the horizon. On Sunday (Day 10), Housefull 5 raked in a solid ₹8.30 crore, taking its total domestic tally to over ₹120 crore. The Monday drop, although expected, was relatively moderate—suggesting sustained audience interest, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
Industry experts believe the film’s appeal lies in its familiar format: light-hearted humor, fast-paced storytelling, and high-energy performances. The Housefull brand has cultivated a loyal fan base over the years, and Housefull 5 builds on that legacy while introducing a few fresh elements to keep things engaging.
Overseas, the film is performing steadily, particularly in the Middle East and North America, where Akshay Kumar enjoys a significant fan following. The combined global gross is inching towards the ₹200 crore mark, positioning Housefull 5 as one of the most successful comedy films of the year.
Critics may have offered mixed reviews—some praising its comic timing and others pointing out the recycled humor—but audience reception seems to tilt in favor of entertainment value. The film has especially resonated with younger audiences and families looking for a light watch during the summer break.
As Housefull 5 enters the second half of its theatrical run, all eyes will be on whether it can maintain its momentum through the weekdays and possibly enjoy another surge over the coming weekend. If it continues to hold well, it may comfortably cross the ₹150 crore milestone in the coming days.
For now, Housefull 5 proves once again that despite changing trends and viewer preferences, Bollywood’s signature masala entertainers—when done right—can still pack a punch at the box office.
