Vulgar jokes which never lands and too many actors and actresses being introduced in the whole movie. Don't watch it with family and I would suggest don't even watch it. Kind of predictable movie with same childish jokes.
There is no need to watch both the movies, both are literally same movies with only 1 villan being interchanged without changing any story or even a scene. You can watch one movie and search who is villan in another one.
The movie uses old clips and references of older housefull movies and Akshay Kumar's funny scenes. Movie is sexy if you are into that than you can watch it otherwise there is no comedy, very less suspense and literally tasteless movie.

Creatively Bankrupt Bollywood has again put forward a brainless,humourless, cringeworthy movie which will further erode the reputation of Hindi movie industry. First thing, is this a movie or chance to for forgotten actors and actresses (why being forgotten is best known to them) to revive their careers. And I am damn sure Akshay Kumar will do any movie however bad the script is if he is paid a handsome fee.
Now back to plot of this 2 hours 45 minutes movie, a billionaire dies on luxurious cruise ship with murderer on board, police comes to catch the murderer and solve the case, and there are people who are ready to be the heir to the billionaire and the chaos and drama that unfolds. Why this plot sounds like familiar? Probably because movie has been made on this plot previously not only in Bollywood but in Hollywood also with plot quite similar. It's high time movie producers in Bollywood invest more on writers to produce decent enough script to make audiences laugh and not to repeat used plots, cringe jokes which even fails to make you smirk.
Though with all the rights being sold for OTT, TV and other digital platforms producer will recover its investment, Good Luck in getting decent collection and reviews for general public.

Is some part of the movie taken from random YouTube content? For example, Johnny Lever's steam bath scene seems to have been done before in a Gordon Ramsay ad, and Abhishek Bachchan's interrogation scene looks copied from Anwar Jibawi's "The Most Wanted." What's going on with this movie?
The overall story was good but could've been the best. To make movies stand out, creators should focus on original storytelling, build fresh characters, draw from real-life emotions, and avoid overused internet content. Uniqueness is what truly connects with the audience.
I love Akshay kumar he is best, He is the only reason i have seen that movie 🍿

After years away, the Housefull franchise returns with the same tired formula that feels like watching your uncle forward WhatsApp jokes at a family gathering. The jokes feel like recycled WhatsApp forwards, and yes, the rumours are absolutely true - this feels like a greatest hits compilation of previous Housefull films' worst moments.
Akshay Kumar carries the entire film on his shoulders, though even his comic timing can't salvage this mess. Everyone else just feels like part of the chaos crew, with Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan looking particularly lost amidst the mayhem. The film's plot felt cluttered due to the presence of too many actors, turning what should be ensemble comedy into overcrowded chaos.
Tarun Mansukhani's direction lacks any semblance of structure or timing. The screenplay is riddled with pointless sequences that add no value and only stretch the runtime. The film's reliance on double-meaning jokes feels desperately outdated, and it was bashed for its vulgar jokes and alleged objectification of women.
The much-hyped dual endings gimmick feels like a marketing stunt rather than creative storytelling. Housefull 5 proves that sometimes franchises should know when to stop.
Rating: 4/10 (Akshay's effort can't mask recycled humour and chaotic execution)

How can a producer having this much experience makes such low level movie, half of the movie is copied from memes, english movies and reels. The rest is very childish comedy. They fit the propellers inside the hull of the ship just to make last scene, everyone is flying around.
If we talk about the suspense of the movie, that is the most mediocre kind of story, been watching Netflix and Hollywood for so long, I think Bollywood is far behind and their decline has started already.
Why can't they make a Bollywood movie where people aren't flying around? I mean do they even watch the movie when they finalise it?

Did you know
- TriviaThe first time Sanjay Dutt and Nana Patekar will act together. What makes this more controversial is that Nana Patekar had stated he would never work with Sanjay Dutt due to his criminal charges in the 1993 Bombay riots.
- GoofsThe jail door and its lock on the Cruise are both parallel to each other. They both slide on same side. Which makes the lock useless, as it wouldn't work.
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening sequence a blood-soaked hand is pressed against a window. The title Household appears above with the five-fingered handprint standing in for the number 5 in the title.
- Alternate versionsThe film was released in two distinct versions, each showcasing a different climax sequence: Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B.
