‘Housefull 5’, the latest installment in Bollywood’s beloved comedy franchise, continues its theatrical run with decent momentum as it enters Day 18. Despite facing competition from newer releases, the film has managed to stay afloat at the box office, thanks to its ensemble cast, family-friendly humor, and loyal fanbase.
Day 18 Collection Sees a Steady Hold
On its 18th day, Housefull 5 collected approximately ₹2.10 crore, taking its total domestic collection to around ₹181.85 crore. While the numbers have gradually slowed down in the third week, the film has retained a solid presence in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, where the genre continues to draw family audiences.
Box Office Journey So Far:
- Opening Weekend: ₹53.25 crore
- Week 1 Total: ₹106.10 crore
- Week 2 Total: ₹73.65 crore
- Week 3 (till Day 18): ₹2.10 crore (Day 18 only)
- Total India Nett: ₹181.85 crore (approx)
The comedy caper opened to a thunderous response in its first weekend and showed strong weekday numbers in Week 1. Despite a dip in Week 2, the film remained in the top 5 across most multiplex chains.
Overseas & Worldwide Collection
Housefull 5 has also performed reasonably well in international markets, particularly in the Gulf and North America. The worldwide gross is estimated to be over ₹235 crore, making it one of the most successful Bollywood comedies post-pandemic.
What’s Fueling Its Success?
- Franchise Loyalty: With four successful predecessors, Housefull 5 had a built-in audience.
- Star Power: Akshay Kumar, alongside a star-studded ensemble including Riteish Deshmukh and Kriti Sanon, pulled in crowds.
- Festive Advantage: The release timing coincided with summer holidays and regional festivals in some states.
- Light-Hearted Genre: In a time of intense thrillers and action dramas, the slapstick comedy appealed to family viewers.
Final Verdict
Even as Housefull 5 moves into its third week, the film continues to draw consistent numbers at the box office. While it may not break major records, it’s well on track to finish as one of 2025’s top-earning comedies. If it maintains pace, it could cross the ₹190 crore mark by the end of Week 3.
