Housefull 5 OTT release: When and Where to watch Akshay Kumar's latest comedy movie online
Following its theatrical release on June 6, 2025, Housefull 5—the latest entry in one of Bollywood's most popular comedy franchises—is now preparing for its OTT debut. While an official streaming date has not been confirmed, reports suggest the film may arrive on Amazon Prime Video either by the last week of July or in early August, as per Times of India. The digital release is highly anticipated, given the buzz the film generated for its unique storytelling format and ensemble cast. Housefull 5 Plot This installment unfolds on a grand cruise liner and opens with billionaire Ranjeet Dobriyal's death from a heart attack, just before the start of his 100th birthday celebration. His passing is kept secret by his son Dev and the board to prevent market panic. Matters escalate when Ranjeet's will reveals that his £69 billion fortune is to be inherited by Jolly, his son from a previous marriage. Complications arise when three different men—Julius (Akshay Kumar), Jalbhushan (Abhishek Bachchan), and Jalabuddin (Riteish Deshmukh)—each claim to be Jolly. All three possess matching birthmarks, making the situation increasingly absurd. What follows is a blend of romantic confusion, mistaken identities, and over-the-top investigations—all layered in the franchise's trademark comedic style. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One Platform.

The series offers viewers a story that blends action, heart, and originality. The plot centers around a one-of-a-kind government project that enlists former national athletes.

Through the course of the series, Bo Gum has proven he can seamlessly shift between heartfelt vulnerability and fierce resolve. While Bo Gum is undeniably the center of attention, GOOD BOY thrives on the strength of its ensemble. Kim So Hyun, Oh Jung Se, Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, and Tae Won Seok each shine in their respective roles. With only two episodes left, fans are bracing themselves for high drama. Many are hoping for a satisfying conclusion that not only ties up loose ends but gives each character the closure they deserve.
