Scored well despite negative reviews
The latest installment of the Housefull franchise witnessed one of Bollywood’s biggest casting coups.

Withstanding all the harsh reviews, it collected almost 200 crore net at the Indian box office.
Housefull 5 is now on OTT, but there’s a twist!
Five weeks after its theatrical release, Housefull 5 is now available on OTT. It is currently available to stream online on Amazon Prime Video, but there’s a twist. As of now, streaming is not available with a regular Prime Video subscription; one must rent the film to watch it and pay the rental charges separately.

Housefull 5 is available for rental at a charge of 349 rupees. Once the film is rented, one can watch it anytime during the 30-day window, but once started, it must be finished within 48 hours.
Assuming the usual 8-week window for Bollywood films, the comedy thriller will likely be available with the regular subscription from August 1.
Budget and worldwide box office earnings
Considering negative reviews, Housefull 5 did well by earning 198.41 crore net (234.12 crore gross) at the Indian box office. However, it was declared a losing affair due to its massive budget. Reportedly, the film was made on a budget of 225 crores, and expectations were sky high. Considering the cost, it should have targeted 250-300 crore net in India.
At the worldwide box office, it wrapped up the run at 304.12 crore gross, with the overseas market contributing 70 crore gross.
