Housefull 5

After years away, the Housefull franchise returns with the same tired formula that feels like watching your uncle forward WhatsApp jokes at a family gathering. The jokes feel like recycled WhatsApp forwards, and yes, the rumours are absolutely true - this feels like a greatest hits compilation of previous Housefull films' worst moments.

Akshay Kumar carries the entire film on his shoulders, though even his comic timing can't salvage this mess. Everyone else just feels like part of the chaos crew, with Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan looking particularly lost amidst the mayhem. The film's plot felt cluttered due to the presence of too many actors, turning what should be ensemble comedy into overcrowded chaos.

Tarun Mansukhani's direction lacks any semblance of structure or timing. The screenplay is riddled with pointless sequences that add no value and only stretch the runtime. The film's reliance on double-meaning jokes feels desperately outdated, and it was bashed for its vulgar jokes and alleged objectification of women.

The much-hyped dual endings gimmick feels like a marketing stunt rather than creative storytelling. Housefull 5 proves that sometimes franchises should know when to stop.

Rating: 4/10 (Akshay's effort can't mask recycled humour and chaotic execution)

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.

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 It relies on outdated humor, and tests the patience of even the most loyal fans of the series.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.

Direction 1.5/5 Acting 2/5 Dialogues 2/5 Story 1/5 Screenplay 1/5.

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.

Vulgar jokes which never lands and too many actors and actresses being introduced in the whole movie. Don't watch it with family and I would suggest don't even watch it. Kind of predictable movie with same childish jokes.

There is no need to watch both the movies, both are literally same movies with only 1 villan being interchanged without changing any story or even a scene. You can watch one movie and search who is villan in another one.

The movie uses old clips and references of older housefull movies and Akshay Kumar's funny scenes. Movie is sexy if you are into that than you can watch it otherwise there is no comedy, very less suspense and literally tasteless movie.
