About Housefull 5
The fifth instalment in Sajid Nadiadwala’s successful Housefull franchise features a massive ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and Johnny Lever, among others.
The film was released with two different endings and is directed by Tarun Mansukhani. The plot centres around a murder mystery on a cruise ship. A wealthy billionaire (played by Ranjeet) is killed shortly after announcing he will leave his entire fortune to his successor, Jolly. The twist? There are three Jollys on board—played by Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan—who all become prime suspects.
While the film received love from audiences, with many calling it the best in the franchise, some also criticised it for focusing more on the female characters’ appearances rather than adding meaningful substance to their roles.
