The wait is finally over as the makers of the comedy-thriller Housefull 5 released the trailer of the film on Tuesday.
The much-awaited fifth installment of the comedy franchise brings a wacky mix of slapstick humour, Bollywood references, and a surprising twist: a murder mystery at sea.
Boasting a star-studded cast of 19 actors, including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, and more, Housefull 5 is shot aboard a luxury cruise that sails across London, France, and Spain.
The trailer kicks off with Nana Patekar’s voiceover, setting the scene for a grand celebration.
A billionaire is marking his 100th birthday on a luxurious yacht with a star-studded party and decides to give his inheritance to his ‘Jolly’. And things go wild as Akshay, Abhishek and Ritiesh claim to be Jolly.
The clip also reveals a murder mystery as the billionaire is murdered, with the three becoming suspects. The trailer then introduces Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff as the cop duo, bringing their signature wit and charm to the investigation.
What starts as hilarious mayhem soon spirals into a whodunit when the billionaire is murdered, turning the story into a thriller-comedy.
But what sets this film apart isn’t just the ensemble or exotic locations, it’s the concept of multiple climaxes.
For the first time in mainstream Indian cinema, different theatre showtimes will have alternate endings, with each screening revealing a different killer.

It’s a bold experiment in storytelling, crafted over 30 years by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who also wrote the story and screenplay himself.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and backed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Housefull 5 is slated for a theatrical release worldwide on June 6, 2025.
