Housefull 5 description states, 'When three young impostors masquerade as the long-lost heir to a billionaire's empire, they unwittingly tumble into a deadly game of cat and mouse as they become the prime targets in a string of grisly murders.' Alongside Akshay Kumar, the ensemble cast features Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Ranjeet, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer and Akashdeep Sabir in pivotal roles. Released on June 6, the movie is produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Housefull is among one of the most popular franchises in India. Its first instalment was released 15 years ago, in 2010. The second highest-grossing Bollywood movie of the year 'Housefull 5' was close to ₹ 300 crore gross mark at the worldwide box office when it ended its theatrical run, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Housefull 5 grossed ₹ 289 crore worldwide and became the second most-watched Bollywood movie of the year in India after Chhaava. Akshay Kumar's 7th biggest grosser globally is the most expensive Indian comedy movie, reportedly made on a budget of ₹ 250 crore.

IHSAA football: 8 sleeper teams to watch in Central Indiana for the 2025 season
The high school football season begins five weeks from tonight. We take a look today at eight potential sleeper teams for the 2025 season from Central Indiana. To keep things consistent, we considered only teams that finished last season with a .500 record or below. I had a few hits in this category last year, including Lapel (improved from 5-5 to 9-4 and sectional champion), Lebanon (from 5-6 to 9-3), Roncalli (4-7 to 6-5) and Warren Central (5-7 to 10-2). Here are selections for this season: After going 2-8 in Rob Gibson's first season as coach, the Orioles were on this list a year ago at this time. And after a Week 2 overtime win over defending Class 6A state champion Ben Davis, it looked like a pretty solid pick. But as the schedule toughened, Avon was hit with some key injuries, including to quarterback Jace Cameron, and the Orioles finished just 3-7 with a competitive sectional loss (21-13) to eventual state champion Brownsburg. Is this the year Avon can post a winning season for the first time since 2019? Cameron returns as a senior after passing for 584 yards and three touchdowns in four games. Leading rusher Ashton Carter (769 yards, four TDs) returns, along with most of the receiving corps and the line is anchored by senior and Kent State recruit William Johnson III. The defense also brings back several key players, including junior Makyi Hines (94 tackles, 12 tackles for loss) and senior Grayson Clutter (73 tackles, six sacks). The schedule is unrelenting, starting with defending Class 5A state champion Decatur Central and Ben Davis. Then comes the Hoosier Crossroads Conference gauntlet. But don't be surprised to see the Orioles make a jump in Gibson's third season. We knew the Giants were losing a lot from their senior class following the run to the Class 6A state title in 2023. But it was still stunning to see Ben Davis stumble to a 1-5 start before recovering to finish 5-6 and nearly knock out Brownsburg in the first round of the sectional (the Giants led by 28 points before losing 38-35). Russ Mann, in his third season as coach, loses some key seniors like Mr. Football Mark Zackery IV and running back Alijah Price to graduation. Junior quarterback Joe Goss has also transferred to Warren Central after getting most of the snaps last season. But there is still plenty of talent on the westside, including Speedway transfer Jazz Coleman, who ran for 1,010 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior in just seven games. Quarterbacks Kenneth Doss (sophomore) and Gabe Kennett (freshman) are young but talented. Kansas recruit Robert Reddick has been a staple in the secondary but will also help the offense as a senior. The schedule is the same as a year ago, starting with Cathedral (at Butler) and vs. Avon the first two weeks. New coach/old coach Kevin Wright takes the reins for the first time since a five-year tenure from 2010-14 that saw the Greyhounds win one state title and appear in two other championship games. There was a lot of promise going into last season (I had Carmel on this list) after a 5-5 season in 2023. Under former coach — and now Noblesville coach — John Hebert, Carmel started 2-1 with the only loss coming in a hard fought, storm interrupted Week 2 loss to Westfield. But the Greyhounds won just one more game the rest of the way, beating winless North Central. After the program's first back-to-back non-winning seasons since 1972 and '73, there is reason for optimism again. Senior quarterback and Troy commit Anthony Coellner (1,896 passing yards, 17 TDs) returns with senior running back Anthony Pemberton (588 rushing yards, four TDs) and receivers Jacob Bellin (47 catches, 596 yards, five TDs) and Dominic Shockley (33 catches, 345 yards, three TDs). Duke recruit Dane Bathurst, a 6-4, 235-pound linebacker has transferred in from Plant High School in Tampa, Fla. The defense also has talented players like Charlotte commit Kaiden Bower (45 tackles, three sacks) on the line and Wake Forest commit Isaac Nelson (53 tackles) at free safety. The season opener at Fishers and Week 2 home game vs. Westfield will tell us a lot about where Carmel stands in Wright's first season. New coach Josh Holden takes over a program that has experienced a lot of success, including a sectional championship two years ago under coach Pat Echeverria, who left to be an assistant at Warren Central. The Royals slipped to 5-5 last year, finishing with a 21-14 loss to 9-2 Centerville in the first round of the Class 2A sectional. But it would not be difficult to see Eastern Hancock making a jump this year with senior group Holden says is physically talented and intelligent. 'Coming in as a new coach I was blown away with how talented and deep our skill positions are,' Holden said. ' Leading the way on offense will be senior quarterback Elijah Edon (2,172 passing yards, 19 TDs; 396 rushing yards, seven TDs), senior running back Mark Kube (787 rushing yards, 10 TDs in seven games) and senior receiver Eli Manship (46 catches, 636 yards, three TDs). The sectional is tough with teams like Centerville, Lapel and Triton Central, but the Royals have the talent to compete if they make a smooth transition to Holden's new schemes. It was a season of close calls last year for the Braves, who finished 5-6 in Max Goodin's first year as coach. But that record could have looked a lot different had Indian Creek fared better in one-score games than 1-4, including a 14-8 loss to North Harrison in the 3A sectional second round. Quarterback Evan Clark (1,476 passing yards, 20 TDs; 190 rushing yards, five TDs) is coming off an outstanding freshman season. The Braves will miss leading rusher Malachi Mink (1,376 rushing yards, 11 TDs) and leading receiver Bobby Emberton (42 catches, 597 yards, 10 TDs) to graduation, but will bring back Jaxon Ramey (38 catches, 516 yards, eight TDs), among others. Junior linebacker Grady Walker (97 tackles) leads a defense that brings back three of its top five tacklers. Indian Creek has the potential to win Sectional 31, though Goodin has just seven seniors. The offensive and defensive lines will be a team strength as Indian Creek enters the new Hoosier Legends Conference. After six consecutive winning seasons under coach Mike Gillin, the Pioneers slipped to 4-7 last year. But three of those losses came by nine points or less, so a winning season was closer than it may have appeared. Mooresville will return senior quarterback Connor Cruz (2,483 passing yards, 25 TDs) and senior receiver Tyler Denny (30 catches, 521 yards, five TDs), two of the team's offensive leaders. Senior Kohen Stevenson (72 tackles), junior Landyn Powell (70 tackles), Denny (56 tackles, three interceptions) and senior Kaden Lambert (54 tackles) were four of Mooresville's top six tacklers last season. Mooresville is at Bloomington North and hosts Terre Haute North the first two weeks before getting into Mid-State Conference play with a visit from Plainfield. One thing for certain: Gillin's teams normally win. The Red Devils made jumps from 1-9 to 3-8 to 5-5 in coach Mike Brevard's first three seasons as coach. Can Pike take the next step? It will be tough in the same sectional with defending Class 6A state champion Brownsburg, Ben Davis and Avon. Pike changed coordinators last season, which seemed to benefit both sides of the ball. Brevard expects that continuity to continue this season despite the graduation of a talented and deep senior class, especially on defense. But this year's team does have depth and experience, particularly on defense with linebackers Dammy Adeoba and Willie Chapman and defensive lineman Muna Newman, Joe Williams and Terrance Little. The offense will be led by quarterback Mychael Lewis, running back Bobby Thomas and receivers Kevin Tichenor, Sean Nash and Latrell Morton. Coach Dan Harris goes into his second season as coach with a team that should be strong at the skill positions and returns experience and depth along both the offensive and defensive lines. The Crusaders were 3-7 last year, losing 42-19 to a powerful Monrovia team in the Class 2A sectional first round. Harris will count on quarterback Bryce McDonald and lineman Brady Ray to be leaders on offense, along with leading receiver Tristan Brown (26 catches, 404 yards) and newcomer Bryce Mathis at wideout. Inside linebacker Eric Montgomery (79 tackles) leads a defense that also brings back lineman Owen Weinzierl, linebacker Isaiah Miles and defensive back Gavin Connel. The schedule remains tough and the roster is relatively small, but Scecina has a chance to build on strides it made last season.

Hurdler goes viral with 50 million views completing last 10.5 metres with two forward somersaults for a win
A viral video of track star-in-the-making Brooklyn Anderson who claimed the 100m hurdle 5A state championship, has garnered over 50 million social media views. The reason – her spectacular finish at Thurston, where she lost balance clearing the last hurdle and stumbled, but stayed in the lane with two forward somersaults to reach finish line first on May 31 in 14.93 seconds. 'Nobody's ever cheered for me that loud before,' she was quoted as saying by Huff Post. According to NBC, the Oregon high school junior athlete blew away the competition at Eugene's Track & Field Championship. 'The last hurdle she clips and trips before somersaulting through finish line. Thankfully Brooklyn was OK due to her quick thinking and her Gymnastics background. She was also way in the lead earning her first place,' NBC said. She told The Oregonian, 'All I remember is resorting back to my gymnastics career. I wasn't sure how far back everybody else was behind me, so I just knew to just keep rolling because I really wanted to finish first.' A post shared by MileSplit (@milesplit) On Instagram, she wrote, 'Wow, what a memorable season. Year 3 is one for the books. Thank you everybody for the support, and especially thank you to the most amazing heat of girls a girl could finish a race with. You guys are awesome. GO COLTS #jryear #somersault #track #100mhurdles.' The Oregonian called it 'one of the most unique finishes to a race in Hayward Field history.' That must mean something because the iconic University of Oregon's stadium in Eugene is more than 100 years old and has hosted national championships and Olympic trials, including last year's qualifiers for the Paris Olympics. The left-lead leg hurdler was cruising anyway but her somersault finish just added a new way to rolling to the deep.

Housefull 5 review: A star-studded chaos with some laughs and a lot of noise
The biggest Bollywood franchise, Housefull 5, has hit the screens. And this time, the makers have gone all out – not three, not five, not 10, but 17 actors make up this mad ride. Imagine reading out a menu! that's what the cast list feels like: Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever. Phew! Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes and is split into two versions – 5A and 5B. The entire movie remains the same in both, except for the climax. team watched 5A. Plot of Housefull 5: Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the story revolves around 99-year-old billionaire Ranjeet Dobriyal, who dies on a yacht during his 100th birthday celebration. As family and friends gather on the cruise to celebrate, Ranjeet passes away just before the party, leaving behind a 69 billion pounds fortune to his son Jolly – but who is Jolly? Three men suddenly claim to be his long-lost son: Jalabuddin (Riteish Deshmukh), Jalbhushan (Abhishek Bachchan), and Julius (Akshay Kumar). What follows is a lot of chaos, laughter and suspense as secrets unfold one by one. Amid all the confusion, a murder takes place aboard the ship. Now let's get to the point – how is the film? If you've followed the Housefull series, you know what to expect: loud gags, over-the-top madness, logic-defying twists, and loads of double-meaning jokes. Out of the earlier ones, only the first Housefull worked well for the audience, but Housefull 5 is not entirely unbearable. It's a decent entertainer by franchise standards. Yes, the plot is all over the place and doesn't make much sense. Yes, the jokes can get cringe, and yes, some scenes will make you go, 'Why is this even here?' And that's exactly why we won't call it a family entertainer. However, if you leave your brain at home and go in expecting some good old slapstick fun, some moments will make you laugh. It caters to the masses and doesn't pretend to be anything more than a no-brainer comedy. That said, objectification of women is a major downer. Actress Soundarya Sharma, known for Ranchi Diaries, is unnecessarily objectified, and it adds zero value to the story. Bollywood really needs to move past this. Final verdict: Housefull 5 by Nadiadwala has turned out to be the most expensive comedy film of Indian cinema with a massive budget of Rs 225 crore. Watch it if you're a Housefull/Akshay Kumar fan or just in the mood for silly, mindless fun. Otherwise, you won't miss much. Rating: 2 out of 5
