Bollywood’s biggest comedy franchise is back—and fans are loving every second of the chaos! Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, has taken social media by storm with its early screenings and first-look reviews.
A Star-Studded Return with Non-Stop Laughter
Bringing together a power-packed ensemble, the film stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kriti Sanon, and Pooja Hegde. According to early viewers, this fifth installment has outdone itself in terms of absurd humor, wild storytelling, and classic Housefull-style madness.
“It’s complete madness—but that’s exactly what makes Housefull 5 so entertaining,” tweeted one early viewer.
“It’s like stepping into a circus with A-list actors,” shared another audience member after the Mumbai premiere.
Akshay & Abhishek Steal the Show
Fans are calling Akshay Kumar the “king of comedy” once again. His comic timing, paired with Abhishek Bachchan’s witty presence, is drawing laughter and whistles in packed theatres. The duo’s on-screen chemistry is being hailed as the film’s biggest strength.
Riteish Deshmukh, the franchise’s backbone, continues his legacy of slapstick brilliance, while the leading ladies add both glamour and comic punch.
Critics React – ‘Sheer Chaos But Entertaining’
Film critics have begun weighing in too. Most agree that while Housefull 5 doesn’t aim for logic, it delivers what fans crave—unfiltered laughter and over-the-top entertainment.

“Yes, it’s loud. Yes, it’s illogical. But it’s Housefull—and it works because it knows it’s crazy!”
CineTalk India commented:
“If you’re looking for a break from reality and want to laugh till your stomach hurts, this is your film.”
However, not all reviews are glowing. Some critics feel the formula is getting repetitive, though even they admit it’s hard to ignore the film’s sheer energy and madness.
Housefull Formula Still Works in 2025
Despite being the fifth installment, the franchise shows no signs of fatigue. The sets are grand, the costumes lavish, and the comic timing razor-sharp. From mistaken identities to wild chases, Housefull 5 brings every cliché in the comedy playbook—and somehow makes it work.

Audiences say it’s like watching a rollercoaster where each turn is sillier than the last, and that’s exactly why people love it.
Social Media Flooded with Memes & Laughs
Post-screening, Twitter and Instagram are buzzing with hilarious reactions. Memes featuring Akshay’s confused expressions, Jacqueline’s comic punches, and Riteish’s goofy antics are going viral already.
“Can’t wait to watch this again with friends. It’s not a movie, it’s a meme-factory,” a fan posted.
