Day 2 (Saturday): ₹30 crore

Total Collection (India): ₹54 crore

Worldwide Collection: ₹65 crore

Audience Reaction and Market Trends
Housefull 5 has been strongly occupied in leading cities with Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Chennai heading the trend. The novel concept of Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B as dual endings for the film has been interesting viewers to watch it more than once.

Competition and Industry Influence
The movie is at competition with Kamal Haasan's Thug Life and Rajkummar Rao's Bhool Chuk Maaf but has held its own.

Housefull 5 has beaten Salman Khan's Sikandar on second-day collections, and it has set a new record for Bollywood comedies.

What's Next?
Sunday collections are likely to take the film beyond the ₹100 crore mark, and Housefull 5 is likely to be one of Akshay Kumar's highest grossing post-pandemic films. Trade experts forecast a robust weekend finish, with scope for continued success in the weeks ahead.
