The Housefull series is back with its fifth part, Housefull 5, which is now playing in cinemas. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, best known for Dostana, this comedy film is doing well at the box office. In fact, it is on track to become the biggest hit in the Housefull franchise. But while the movie is drawing crowds, its online ratings tell a different story.
Let’s take a look at how Housefull 5 compares with the other Housefull movies when it comes to IMDb ratings — and where it stands among fans.
IMDb Ratings of All Housefull Films
As of now, here’s how the five Housefull movies rank on IMDb based on user ratings:
- Housefull (2010) – IMDb rating: 5.6/10
Directed by Sajid Khan, the very first Housefull movie is still the highest rated in the franchise. It started the comedy series on a strong note and remains a fan favorite. - Housefull 2 (2012) – IMDb rating: 5.4/10
The second installment, also directed by Sajid Khan, continues the comedy style and earned fairly good reviews from the audience. - Housefull 3 (2016) – IMDb rating: 4.9/10
Directed by Sajid-Farhad, this one saw a slight dip in ratings but still managed to entertain many fans. - Housefull 5 (2025) – IMDb rating: 3.9/10 (current)
Even though it’s earning well at the box office, the latest film is not doing as well online. With a 3.9/10 rating, Housefull 5 is currently the second-lowest-rated movie in the franchise. - Housefull 4 (2019) – IMDb rating: 3.6/10
This movie holds the lowest rating in the series and is often criticized for its weak storyline, despite its grand visuals and big cast.
It’s worth noting that the rating of Housefull 5 may change slightly as more users vote, but a big improvement in the score seems unlikely.
Housefull 5 – Storyline and Star Cast
Housefull 5 takes place on a luxury cruise ship. The story begins when a rich businessman dies under mysterious circumstances. Suddenly, three different men — played by Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh — claim to be his sons. Each of them tries to prove he is the real heir to the fortune. This leads to a string of funny events and misunderstandings.
But things get serious when the ship’s doctor is found dead. That’s when two quirky investigators, played by Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff, enter the scene. They’re determined to solve the murder and uncover the secrets behind all the chaos.
The film features a huge star cast, including Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.
