“Housefull” is one of Bollywood’s top comedy franchises, with four superhit films. The fifth part didn’t create much buzz initially, so the makers released it with two different climaxes, Housefull 5A and 5B. This unique idea grabbed attention. Now, the big question is did it match the franchise’s success?
House Full 5 Movie Story: After billionaire Ranjeet dies, three men Julius, Jalabuddin, and Jal Bhushan, claim to be his son to inherit his 69 billion pound fortune. But who is the real Jolly? What chaos do they create? And is someone else also after the property? That’s the fun-filled plot of Housefull 5.
Performances: This film doesn’t have anyone standing out for good acting, instead, everyone goes over the top, which becomes irritating.
As for the heroines, they seem to be included only for skin show. In almost every scene, the women are dressed in tight outfits, either highlighting their chest or hips, clearly showing the director-producer’s obsession with glamour. The rest of the cast delivers low-grade comedy, and honestly, the less said about that, the better.
Technical Aspects: Housefull 5 goes beyond typical adult comedy with cheap, below-the-belt jokes that feel unpleasant. It’s disappointing to see family-friendly actors like Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan in such roles.
Though the film is technically strong with impressive visuals, CGI, and production design, all that effort is wasted due to the vulgar humor and poor writing. The blame lies with director Tarun and writer-producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
Analysis: Housefull is a family-friendly comedy franchise, unlike B-grade films like Grand Masti, which deliver what they promise. But Housefull 5 mixes in unnecessary adult jokes and exposure, which doesn’t suit its image and ends up disappointing.
Though the makers hyped two climaxes, 5A and 5B, the only change is in the villains. This small difference doesn’t justify watching the film twice.
Verdict: Housefull 5 tries to continue the franchise’s fun vibe but fails due to forced adult jokes and mismatched humor. Despite strong visuals and technical quality, the film suffers from weak writing and over-the-top performances. The dual climax gimmick adds no real value. Overall, it’s a disappointing entry in a once-loved comedy series.
Bottom Line: Forced jokes ruin a technically strong film.
Rating: 1/5
