About Housefull 5

The film is the fifth instalment in Sajid Nadiadwala’s successful comedy franchise Housefull. It features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Nikitin Dheer, Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Soundarya Sharma, and Johnny Lever. Helmed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film, featuring two different endings and two different killers, opened to a mixed response from the critics.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, “The film starts off on a funny note, helped along by Shreyas Talpade’s presence. But it lacks the energy you’d expect for the kind of boisterous ride you’ve signed up for—until Akshay walks in, Ace Ventura-style. His comic timing immediately lifts the film, but I can’t say the same for the other characters.”
