Housefull 5 Fails To Break 3 Easy Comedy Records!
Blame it on the mixed reviews, or the confusion regarding the A and B versions of the film, but Akshay Kumar had three very easy box office targets for Housefull 5, which could not be met, unfortunately! If it had surpassed these three figures, the film would be roaring at the box office!
Here are three box office records Akshay Kumar has missed to surpass with the opening of his new film!
Failed To Become Top Opener Of 2025
Considering the weight and the box office history of the franchise, it should have been a cakewalk for Akshay Kumar to surpass the top opener of 2025 – Chhaava‘s 33.10 crore. But the comedy thriller settled for the third spot, failing to surpass Sikandar’s 30.06 croreas well!
Failed To Become Top Opener For Akshay Kumar
Housefull 5 also failed to become the top opener for Akshay Kumar and the spot is still claimed by Mission Mangal’s 29.16 crore. Hopefully, the actor would surpass this number with his upcoming releases!
Failed To Become The Biggest Comedy Opener
With an opening of 24.35 crore, Akshay Kumar failed to deliver the biggest comedy film in any genre! While the biggest comedy opening is by a horror-comedy, Stree 2, with an opening of 64.8 crore, the biggest opening for a comedy thriller stands with Happy New Year’s 44.97 crore.
The biggest action comedy opening was secured by Chennai Express, bringing 33.10 crore on day 1, and the biggest opening by a comedy-drama was by Golmaal Again, earning 30.14 crore on day 1. It would be interesting to see if Housefull 5 grows over the weekend!
