Akshay Kumar is back with a bang! After a series of underperforming films, the superstar has finally bounced back strong with Housefull 5, which is performing impressively at the box office. The comedy entertainer is not just making big numbers but also giving tough competition to some of the top Bollywood releases of 2025.
On its 12th day, Housefull 5 continued its steady run. The film earned around ₹4 to ₹4.50 crores on second Tuesday, showing a good jump from its Monday collection of ₹3.80 crores. This growth is mainly due to discounted ticket prices offered by the makers to attract more audiences during weekdays.
With these numbers, the film’s total box office collection in India stands at an estimated ₹170.49 to ₹170.99 crores. Now, all eyes are on the ₹175 crore mark, which will help it surpass the lifetime collection of Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 (₹177.83 crores). If the current trend continues, Housefull 5 is expected to cross that milestone within the next two days.
Housefull 5: A Turning Point for Akshay Kumar
2025 is turning out to be a special year for Akshay Kumar. After back-to-back average films, Housefull 5 is his strongest performer since the pandemic. His recent releases like Sky Force (₹134.93 crores) and Kesari Chapter 2 (₹94.45 crores) failed to cross the 150 crore mark. But Housefull 5 is now expected to go beyond even the 200 crore mark, making it his biggest post-Covid hit yet.
Interestingly, the last time Akshay came close to this number was with Sooryavanshi, which earned ₹195.04 crores. Now, Housefull 5 has a real shot at becoming his first 200 crore film in the post-Covid era.
