A Cruise of Laughter Coming Soon to Your Screen
The fifth installment of the beloved Housefull franchise, Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh, has been sailing successfully through theatres since its June 6, 2025 release. Now, fans eagerly await its digital drop—will it be ready in time for your movie night?
Eyeing a Late‑July or Early‑August OTT Debut
Though the makers haven’t officially announced a release date, multiple reports confirm that the digital rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime Video. Following the traditional 6 to 8-week window between theatrical and OTT releases, viewers can expect Housefull 5 to premiere on Prime Video in late July or the first week of August 2025.
While an exact date is pending confirmation, industry insiders suggest a likely OTT drop between July 25 and August 1. Fans are advised to stay tuned for official updates.
What Makes Housefull 5 a Streaming Must‑Watch?
A Star‑Studded Cruise‑Ship Whodunit
Set aboard a luxury cruise ship, the film takes a hilarious turn as three men—Jalabuddin, Jalbhushan, and Julius—each claim to be the rightful heir “Jolly.” With a billionaire’s 100th birthday party underway, the confusion explodes into a comedic mystery. Add in Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff as eccentric detectives, and Housefull 5 promises nonstop laughter.
Dual Endings for Double the Entertainment
In a unique move, the movie features two separate endings—titled Housefull 5A and 5B—each offering a different resolution to the chaos. This inventive storytelling format gives audiences something rare: the power to choose which version they enjoy more.
Box Office Success Boosts OTT Excitement
With its signature blend of comedy, mystery, and big-ticket Bollywood glamour, Housefull 5 has already made waves at the box office. The film crossed the ₹150 crore mark in India and over ₹200 crore globally within just weeks of its theatrical run.
This strong commercial performance has amplified anticipation for the OTT release, making it one of the most awaited digital premieres of 2025. Amazon Prime Video reportedly secured the rights for a massive deal, confident that the film’s wide appeal will bring in record-breaking viewership numbers.
