Housefull 5 Review: Worth a Watch? Radiocity By Radiocity Team Published Jun 06, 2025 [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

A Grand, Chaotic Premise A tycoon`s 100th birthday cruise turns chaotic after his sudden death. His will leaves his massive fortune to a long-lost son named Jolly. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

Trio of Trouble Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh each claim to be the real Jolly. Their chemistry provides some of the film`s best comedic moments. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

Murder on the Dance Floor A fresh twist for the franchise; a doctor is murdered, and the three "Jollys" are the main suspects with amnesia about the crucial night. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

Star-Studded Spectacle A huge cast, including Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff as cops, adds star power. The heroines, however, have glamorous but limited roles. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

An Ambitious Experiment The film is released with two endings, Housefull 5A and 5B, revealing a different killer in each. This is a unique concept for mainstream cinema. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

Akshay`s Comic Timing Akshay Kumar`s energetic performance and sharp comic timing are a major highlight, with many considering it a return to his comedic form. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

Hit-or-Miss Humour The comedy is inconsistent. While some jokes land well, many feel forced and over-the-top, relying on the franchise`s loud brand of humour. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]

Direction and Pacing The direction maintains high energy, but the screenplay is often chaotic. It struggles to smoothly blend the comedy and mystery elements, affecting the pace. [{ "selector": ".custom-gradient", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ { "offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100px)" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)" } ] }]
