Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 1: Akshay Kumar's Film Opens Strong, Will It Hit ₹100 Crore In 1st Week?

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 1: Bollywood's latest big-ticket comedy entertainer, Housefull 5, hit theatres worldwide on June 6, 2025, and took a strong start at the Indian box office. Starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and a massive ensemble cast, the film earned an impressive ₹23 crore on Day 1, surpassing expectations and outperforming Akshay Kumar's previous release, Kesari Chapter 2, which collected ₹7.75 crore on its opening day.

Released strategically ahead of the Bakrid weekend, Housefull 5 is expected to witness a significant spike in collections as audiences throng theatres during the extended holiday period. Trade experts suggest that the film could cross the ₹75 crore mark by the end of its first weekend if momentum continues.

Interestingly, Housefull 5 released just a day after Kamal Haasan's much-anticipated Thug Life directed by Mani Ratnam. Thug Life underperformed at the box office. It earned ₹15.5 crore on its opening day, but collections dipped on Day 2 (June 6), with the film managing just ₹7.5 crore. The Thug life's total box office earnings now stand at ₹23 crore.
