Housefull 5

The Housefull franchise has always thrived on loud humor and slapstick comedy. What once was an occasionally amusing madhouse now feels like a painfully forced circus. Let's start with the elephant in the room - the script. Or rather, the lack of it. The plot of Housefull 5 feels like it was written in haste over a single coffee break, without any effort to tie the sequences into a cohesive story. It relies on outdated humor, and tests the patience of even the most loyal fans of the series.

Director Tarun Mansukhani, best known for Dostana, delivers what is undeniably the weakest execution in the Housefull series so far. While previous entries, despite their flaws, had occasional entertaining sparks and comic timing, this one feels like a chaotic improvisation exercise gone terribly wrong. The screenplay is riddled with pointless sequences that add no value and only stretch the runtime. The second half, in particular, becomes a patience test, scenes come and go without context. There's an uncomfortable reliance on double-meaning jokes.

Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan try their best to keep the energy alive. Their comic timing occasionally brings some charm to the otherwise tasteless scenes. Fardeen Khan and Dino Morea offer decent support. However, the female cast Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Soundarya Sharma, and Chitrangda Singh are reduced to mere glamour props. The hyper sexualization of Soundarya Sharma's character in particular feels uncomfortable, drawing unnecessary attention rather than laughs. Shreyas Talpade, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, and Ranjeet are utterly wasted. The entry scenes for Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and Nana Patekar were great but performance suffered from the lackluster writing.

I miss old akshay movies. This movie has no base. Mekers should attention other important elements and character. Sons has no connection to movies. There are some vulgure words and gesture in the movie. So watching this movie with the family members is not recommended. Who has basic understanding about a good movie will be disappointed after watching this movie. Day by day the quality of Bollywood movies are falling. Directors of Bollywood only makes movies by selected actors. New talented actors are heavely neglected. This bad practice in Bollywood is even makes the situation worse. This is total time waste movie.

Movie is purely based kn cleavage and somewhat darkcomedy but its a pure waste of time.the movie is full of cring and bad joke and if you are thinking of watching it give yourself a favor watch old cricket matches but not this movie it is purely made for teenagers for are looking for cleavage everywhere and it serves them perfect no doubt it has no so great story both the ending are really bad and when you look at cgi you really will not sleepnfor 2 days its looks so bad that you can compare 19s movie with this level of cgi useless connection to houseful 1 Totally a cash grabing movie with women dark jokes.

Is some part of the movie taken from random YouTube content? For example, Johnny Lever's steam bath scene seems to have been done before in a Gordon Ramsay ad, and Abhishek Bachchan's interrogation scene looks copied from Anwar Jibawi's "The Most Wanted." What's going on with this movie?

The overall story was good but could've been the best. To make movies stand out, creators should focus on original storytelling, build fresh characters, draw from real-life emotions, and avoid overused internet content. Uniqueness is what truly connects with the audience.

I love Akshay kumar he is best, He is the only reason i have seen that movie 🍿

Creatively Bankrupt Bollywood has again put forward a brainless,humourless, cringeworthy movie which will further erode the reputation of Hindi movie industry. First thing, is this a movie or chance to for forgotten actors and actresses (why being forgotten is best known to them) to revive their careers. And I am damn sure Akshay Kumar will do any movie however bad the script is if he is paid a handsome fee.

Now back to plot of this 2 hours 45 minutes movie, a billionaire dies on luxurious cruise ship with murderer on board, police comes to catch the murderer and solve the case, and there are people who are ready to be the heir to the billionaire and the chaos and drama that unfolds. Why this plot sounds like familiar? Probably because movie has been made on this plot previously not only in Bollywood but in Hollywood also with plot quite similar. It's high time movie producers in Bollywood invest more on writers to produce decent enough script to make audiences laugh and not to repeat used plots, cringe jokes which even fails to make you smirk.

Though with all the rights being sold for OTT, TV and other digital platforms producer will recover its investment, Good Luck in getting decent collection and reviews for general public.
