The Housefull franchise is returning with its fifth installment, and this time, it’s packing double the madness literally! Housefull 5 isn’t just another comedy; it’s a full-blown murder mystery set on a luxury cruise ship, with a star-studded cast, hilarious and a Bollywood-first twist—two different climaxes! If you’re wondering when and where you can stream it, what this “dual ending” gimmick is all about, and why this might be the wildest Housefull yet, we’ve got all the inside scoop right here.
Theatrical Release: Get Ready for a Laugh Riot
Mark your calendars Housefull 5 is sailing into theaters on June 6, 2025, just in time for a summer blast. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani (Dostana, Drive) and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, this installment takes the comedy franchise into uncharted waters—literally. The story kicks off when a billionaire mysteriously dies on a luxury cruise, turning the trip into a chaotic whodunit.
Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan and an army of other stars (we’ll get to that insane cast list later) are trapped in this floating circus of clues, red herrings, and slapstick mayhem. With high-energy dance numbers (“Laal Pari” and “The Phoogdi Dance” are already trending), exotic locations, and the franchise’s signature over-the-top humor, this is shaping up to be the biggest Housefull yet.
OTT Release: When Can You Watch It on Amazon Prime?
If you’d rather enjoy the madness from your couch, Housefull 5 will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run. Prime Video confirmed the deal back in 2024, teasing “five times the madness” for subscribers.
So, when exactly will it drop? While no official date is locked yet, recent Bollywood blockbusters give us a solid clue. Movies like Singham Again (2024) and Jawan (2023) hit OTT platforms 6-8 weeks after their theater debut. If Housefull 5 follows the same trend, expect it to land on Prime Video between late July and early August 2025.
Best guess? Keep an eye out around July 25 to August 8, 2025. We’ll update you as soon as Prime Video makes it official!
The Big Twist: Two Climaxes, One Crazy Movie!
Here’s where things get really interesting—Housefull 5 is pulling off a Bollywood first by giving us two alternate endings! That’s right, depending on which version you watch (Housefull 5 or Housefull 5A), you’ll see:
- A different killer reveal
- Unique jokes and gags in the final act
- Completely distinct sequences in the last 20 minutes
This means if you watch it in theaters, you might see one ending, while your friend in another city could see a totally different one! And the best part? Amazon Prime Video is expected to stream BOTH versions, so you won’t miss out on either climax.
This bold move, spearheaded by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, adds major rewatch value. Will Akshay’s character be the culprit in one version and Riteish in the other? Or is there a wilder twist waiting? We’ll have to wait and see!
