The trade website reported that Akshay's film collected ₹24 crore on its opening day, which was higher than the previous instalment’s Day 1 haul and more than Akshay’s recent releases like Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2. On its second day, the box office collection saw a jump, reaching ₹31 crore and taking the film’s domestic total to ₹55 crore.

Pakda jaane wala thaa end mein but bhaag gaya us se pehle. Mast experience." (I decided to wear the killer mask and interview people coming out of the Housefull 5 show at Bandra today, just like that. I almost got caught at the end, but I ran before that. Fun experience.)
