Decoding the budget & revenue of Housefull 5: Akshay Kumar's comic caper breaks even for Sajid Nadiadwala
Tarun Mansukhani's Housefull 5 starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri and others is nearing the end of its theatrical run. With a strong flow of new releases every week, there's not much hold that we can expect for the comic-caper. An India net of around Rs 165 crore and an overseas gross of approximately USD 7.5-8 million is what we expect for the 5th installment of Housefull. Housefull 5 Opened Well But Saw Collections Dwindling After The Weekend Housefull 5 has performed averagely at the box office. However, given that it is part of one of the most successful comedy franchises in India with a 100 percent hit track record, it should have done better. After a good weekend, the movie could not hold strong over the weekdays. Despite no stiff competition from new releases, the week 2 of Housefull 5 was under par. After that, Sitaare Zameen Par brought the film down to single digits in week 3. All said and done, the movie's costs have been recovered. The Economics Of Housefull 5 Are As Under Particulars The budget of Housefull 5 includes a part remuneration of Akshay Kumar. Akshay Kumar works on a part upfront and part profit-share basis. For this movie, since there are not much overflows outside the Rs 15-20 crore that will come to the producers in the form of subsidy, the actor won't be making his desired amount. Jolly LLB 3 Is Expected To Unleash Akshay Kumar's Box Office Potential Post Pandemic Housefull 5 is just another stepping stone for Akshay Kumar. He is regaining the trust of the audience with every film and that can be seen in the growing trajectory of his films. It is expected that Jolly LLB 3 will unleash the true potential of Akshay Kumar; that has not been seen since the start of the pandemic. Housefull 5 In Theatres

Kannappa Box Office Collection Day 1: Vishnu Manchu's Film Roars With Rs 9 Crore
Last Updated: Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, featuring cameos by Akshay Kumar and Prabhas, earned Rs 9 crore nett across India on its opening day. Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa may not have opened to record-breaking numbers, but it sure made enough noise on day one. Seems like the cameos by Akshay Kumar and Prabhas worked in its favour. The Telugu mythological action drama hit theatres on Friday and, as per early estimates by earned Rs 9 crore nett across India. According to the report, Kannappa saw varied occupancy rates across regions on Friday—16.45 per cent in Tamil, 55.89 per cent in Telugu, 14.56 per cent in Hindi, 13.81 per cent in Kannada, and 7.20 per cent in Malayalam. While the film collected Rs 9 crore on its opening day, it still outperformed Kajol's Maa, which earned Rs 4.50 crore. In fact, Kannappa made nearly double of what Maa did, as per data from Maa also hit theatres on Friday, marking Kajol's much-awaited return to the big screen after a three-year break. Directed by Vishal Furia, the mythological horror thriller is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, with Kumar Mangat Pathak serving as co-producer. A review by News18 of Kannappa read, 'The whole sequence and the visual effects are superbly done, an example of how far our cinema has evolved technologically. Back in the day, the same scene would've involved golden cardboard arrows moving at less than 24 frames per second. One arrow would spew fire, the opponent's would quench it with water. If one turned into a snake, the other would become its predator, an eagle. Mukesh Kumar Singh's Kannappa isn't weighed down by such age-old silliness. Here, the fight sequences and visuals look rich. However, if one were to read out the dialogues of Kannappa and any devotional film from the past one after the other, it would be hard to discern which is from 2025 and which is not." Kannappa is a 2025 Indian Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The story, written by Vishnu Manchu—who also plays the titular role—is inspired by the legend of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology. The film is produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu and features a star-studded ensemble cast including Preity Mukhundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo in key supporting roles. First Published:
