Akshay Kumar’s latest film, Housefull 5, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming his widest international release to date. The comedy caper has premiered in over 85 countries, with screenings across 1,300+ locations and more than 2,000 screens globally, marking a new benchmark for the actor’s overseas presence. This expansion signals a renewed global push for one of Bollywood’s longest-running comedy franchises.
Historically, the Housefull series has garnered popularity among family audiences and the NRI community. With its fifth installment, the film’s makers have notably broadened its reach beyond core diaspora markets. This aggressive overseas rollout is part of a strategic effort to position Housefull 5 as a global entertainer and capitalize on international theatrical revenue from the outset of its run.
The film’s ensemble cast and the franchise’s strong recall value have likely contributed to the justification for such a large-scale release. As a result, Housefull 5 is anticipated to open positively not just in India but across the globe. Also, Housefull 5 has generated buzz for its unique approach of featuring two climaxes released simultaneously, adding to the film’s intrigue.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced under Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film features an impressive lineup that includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, and Nana Patekar. With its extensive international rollout and star-studded cast, Housefull 5 is poised to make a significant impact both domestically and abroad.
Meanwhile, the film has collected a decent collection at the box office. As of now, the movie has earned around 90 Crores and it is close to enter the 100 Crore Club. The Sunday hit the max collection with around 32 Crores getting in its kitty.
