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 🍿

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 The film's reliance on double-meaning jokes feels desperately outdated, and it was bashed for its vulgar jokes and alleged objectification of women.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.
Worst movie complete waste of time Nothing like a comedy they just gathered a lot of stars and made a garbage movie i just saw Housefull A. I could not run out of theater movie became too slow after the entry of Khalnayak movie stars jokes were too pathetic. Heroines were trying a lot to make public laugh but failed overall acting of all characters were good but no comedy The dead body of Ranjit was getting disappear from the position so overall a bekar movie no paisa wasool it was only a paisa waste movie Akshay was ok but movies scene were not corelating the subject no need of so many characters anything was happening.
I mean, the title itself says it all, "Housefull of flies!" These people have zero knowledge of storytelling, filmmaking, or anything remotely close to what you'd call a film. And somehow, they're shelling out 240 crores budget for this? Seriously? This film shouldn't even get 10 lakhs.
It honestly makes me cringe, disgusted, to see people rating such nonsense films so highly. And these actors? I don't even have the words. How shameful is it to be part of something that has nothing and on top of that, deliver horrendous acting?
It's literally dog-eats-dog, as some say. They're all just hyping each other up and patting backs for mediocrity after mediocrity. If you have no clue about acting, storytelling, or filmmaking, please, pick another profession and let people who care actually make films.
This isn't comedy anymore, it's worse than even the most basic slapstick made with minimal setups in some rural African country out there online. And those folks probably still have more cinematic understanding than this bunch.
Seriously, who even made these people actors, actresses, or filmmakers? They're just taking audiences for a ride, milking the system with zero accountability. This isn't just bad filmmaking, it's filmmaking apathy.
