Housefull 5 Film Review: Akshay Kumar’s Latest Comedy Is Wild and Completely Nonsensical

Introduction: The Fifth Entry in a Wildly Popular Comedy Series

• Housefull 5 brings back the same madness, confusion, and silly humor that the series is known for.

• With Akshay Kumar leading the show once again, the movie tries to be bigger, funnier, and more chaotic.

• Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, this fifth part pushes the comedy into complete nonsense territory.

• But does this work for today’s audience, or is it just a loud mess?

Let’s explore it, point by point.

1. The Jokes Are Loud, But Not Always Funny

• The film tries hard to make you laugh using slapstick, shouting, and people falling over.

• But most of the jokes are outdated or reused from previous movies.

• There's little cleverness — it mostly depends on screaming and silly actions.

• Some parts might make you chuckle, but many scenes feel too forced and noisy.

2. The Story Is Confusing and Hard to Follow

• The movie’s plot is all over the place — lookalikes, fake identities, mistaken lovers – it has everything.

• Keeping track of who’s who becomes a headache after a while.

• It seems like the makers didn’t bother with logic – they just wanted chaos.

• No clear storyline, just one twist after another.

3. Akshay Kumar Is Still Entertaining but Trapped in the Madness

• Akshay Kumar brings his usual charm and comic timing, and you can see he's trying his best.

• His acting still stands out and some of his scenes are genuinely funny.

• But he is stuck in a weak script, and even his energy can’t fix the film’s issues.

4. Big Star Cast, Small Impact

• The movie has a huge cast including Riteish Deshmukh, Pooja Hegde, Kriti Sanon, and more.

• Sadly, most of them are just used for background noise or cheap laughs.

• There’s little character growth — everyone is just running around, shouting, or being confused.

• It feels like the actors are wasted in meaningless scenes.

5. Songs That Don’t Add Any Real Fun

• The movie has several music tracks – some energetic, some romantic.

• But none of them are memorable or catchy enough to hum later.

• The songs often appear suddenly and slow down the already weak plot.

• They look colorful but don’t help the story move forward.

6. Bright Sets and Flashy Visuals, But No Real Depth

• The locations are exotic, the sets are grand, and the costumes are colorful.

• Everything looks big and shiny, but also fake and too much at times.

• The visuals try hard to impress but can’t hide the lack of substance in the story.

7. No Logic, Just Endless Confusion

• The movie doesn’t care about making sense.

• From people suddenly changing roles to impossible coincidences — logic is thrown out the window.

• It feels like the script was written in a hurry, just to create crazy moments without any connection.

• Audiences who expect a proper story might feel frustrated.

8. Designed for Fans of Nonsense Entertainment

• If you’ve watched and liked the previous Housefull films, you might still enjoy the craziness.

• This movie is built for viewers who don’t mind mindless fun.

• It doesn’t try to be smart — it just wants to make you laugh through pure madness.

9. The Movie Feels Long and Stretched

• Housefull 5 has a runtime of over 2 hours, and you can feel every minute of it.

• Especially in the second half, the film starts to lose energy.

• Scenes become repetitive, and you might find yourself checking the time.

• A shorter duration could’ve made it tighter and funnier.

10. Final Thoughts: A Loud Film With Very Little Sense

• Housefull 5 is like a noisy party where everyone talks, but no one listens.

• It’s filled with action, jokes, songs, and stars — but lacks a good foundation.

• The film wants to entertain, but it does so in a way that feels overdone and unbalanced.

• It might still make you smile in parts, but overall, it leaves you exhausted rather than happy.

Rating: 2/5 – Only for Hardcore Housefull Fans

Should You Watch Housefull 5?

Yes, if you:

• Enjoy over-the-top, loud, and mindless comedy.

• Love Akshay Kumar’s typical comic acting.

• Are a fan of the Housefull franchise and know what to expect.

No, if you:

• Like comedy with clever writing and some realism.

• Want a movie that makes sense and has a proper storyline.

• Get annoyed by too much shouting and silly scenes.

Conclusion: A Film That Misses the Mark

Housefull 5 had all the ingredients — big stars, fancy sets, catchy music — but it forgot the most important one: a strong, engaging story.
While the makers clearly aimed for a fun-filled entertainer, they ended up delivering something that feels overloaded and tiring.
Yes, it has moments of laughter, and fans of the franchise may still find joy in the chaos.
But overall, it's a film that tries to do too much without giving enough of what truly matters — meaningful comedy and good storytelling.

Would you still give Housefull 5 a try? Or do you think it’s time Bollywood stopped stretching old formulas?
