Housefull 5: Defying Critics, Smashing Records!
Hey friend, guess what? Housefull 5, despite getting slammed by critics for its, shall we say, *questionable* humor and portrayal of women, absolutely *crushed* it at the box office this weekend!
Seriously, this thing opened to mostly negative reviews. People weren’t happy with the vulgar jokes and objectification, and honestly, I’ve heard some pretty harsh things. But the audience clearly didn’t care. The film defied expectations and had a massive opening weekend.
It started strong on Friday with ₹24.35 crore (that’s roughly $3 million USD). Then, Saturday saw a jump to ₹32.38 crore, and Sunday was even better at ₹35.10 crore! That’s a total of ₹91.83 crore net (about $11 million USD) in India over the weekend, or ₹108.35 crore gross when you add in taxes.
That Sunday number, ₹35.10 crore, is HUGE. It’s the highest single-day collection *ever* for the entire Housefull franchise, beating Housefull 4’s previous record. And for Akshay Kumar, this is his third-biggest opening weekend ever in India, only behind 2.0 and Mission Mangal – and those both had a four-day opening weekend, giving them a bit of an advantage.
So, yeah, Housefull 5 is a bizarre case study. Critics hated it, yet the audience loved it enough to make it a massive box office success. It just goes to show you, sometimes box office numbers don’t always align with critical reception. Pretty wild, right?
