The buzz around Housefull 5 is gaining serious momentum ahead of its theatrical release this Friday. Starring Akshay Kumar alongside an ensemble cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, and more, the latest installment in the popular comedy franchise has already raked in ₹2.5 crore in advance bookings — surpassing Akshay’s recent film Kesari Chapter 2, which earned ₹1.84 crore in pre-sales.
Ajay Devgn’s latest thriller, Raid 2, continues its strong run at the box office, crossing the ₹45 crore mark within its first three days of release. The film, which hit theatres nationwide on May 1, is a sequel to the 2018 hit Raid and stars Ajay Devgn alongside Riteish Deshmukh and Vaani Kapoor.
The much-anticipated drama Visfot, directed by Kookie Gulati and starring Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan, fails to ignite the screen despite a promising cast. The film, a remake of the 2012 Venezuelan film Rock! Paper! Scissors!, unfolds a tale set in Mumbai's slums, blending familiar elements of crime, betrayal, and love. Unfortunately, it delivers little more than a rehashed narrative with predictable outcomes.
The anticipated release of "Housefull 5," starring Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, has hit a delay. Originally slated for a Diwali 2024 premiere, the film's launch has been pushed to 2025 due to demands for extensive visual effects work.
