Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 is getting the Bakri Eid push, as Day 2 has already had a jump of 30% compared to Day 1, taking the total nett two-day collection to ₹55.35 crore. Early estimates also confirm that the comedy entertainer has grossed ₹31 crore on Saturday, thanks to robust traction from mass belts and strong performance from urban centres around the country.
Box Office So Far for Housefull 5: Huge Growth, Strong Finishes Across Mass Belts & Tier 2 Cities
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹24.35 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday – Eid): ₹31 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday – Expected): ₹35 crore
Projected Weekend Total – ₹90 crore nett
The size of the jump, especially in territories such as Gujarat, UP, Bihar, and Rajasthan, shows that the film has gained acceptance from its loyal audience. Centres such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Chandigarh are also recording solid occupancies, as audiences fill up the cinemas.
Eid Celebrations & Festivals Firing the Box Office
The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, benefitted from the Eid holiday on Saturday and Sunday. Around Eid is a well-known booster for family-friendly and mass films.
It is also interesting to note that the non-national chains such as Miraj, Rajhans, and MovieMax recorded higher day-on-day growth percentages than the national chains compared to opening day — indicating the strong and loyal mass following built over the franchise. This is the kind of trend to look for when hoping for long-term legs, especially in smaller centres.
Will It Hit ₹35 Cr on Sunday, April 5?
With Housefull 5 reportedly on an upswing on Day 2, it’s now hoping to collect ₹35 crore on Sunday morning. That would be quite a result for post-holiday business. If it collects that number, it will seal a weekend of ₹90 crore, laying down a formidable base for the week ahead.
This is where the real test begins — on Monday. A film’s normal pattern is to dive, which makes it difficult to predict where it will go next, but for now, it all feels positive, especially in single screens and family circuits where across-the-board success usually happens.

Box Office Worldwide Verdict
Housefull 5 isn’t a runaway hit blockbuster yet, but its Day 2 bump suggests some life in a long-established comedy franchise. Together with Akshay Kumar’s comic timing, Sajid Nadiadwala’s masala instincts, and Eid magic, they have placed the film in a solid environment to grow.
With a ₹90 crore weekend in sight, it appears all eyes are now fixated on Monday. If it holds, Housefull 5 just may deliver a surprise success story for the Hindi comic genre it desperately needs.
