Housefull 5: Release date, details of both versions, cast, plot, and more about the comedy drama

Housefull 5 is one of the most-awaited films of 2025. The film has a star-studded cast and is gearing up for a release in a few days in June. Notably, the film marks the fifth installment of the Housefull franchise. As the release date is near, here is everything you need to know about the comedy drama, Housefull 5. 

Where to watch Housefull 5

Housefull 5, the comedy drama, is all set to hit theatres. You can enjoy the comedy film with your family, friends, and partners as it will be a rollercoaster ride of laughter and humour. 

Housefull 5 both versions

Housefull 5 features a unique release strategy with two distinct versions, Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B, each with a different climax. This means that audiences in theatres will experience different endings, where the identity of the "killer" will be revealed differently. The film, directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, is a comic caper with a whodunit element, and the dual climax adds a layer of intrigue and novelty.

An exhibition source told Bollywood Hungama, “The idea is to have equal shows for both versions. So, if Housefull 5A has been allotted two screens and 10 shows, the same would also apply to Housefull 5B. But in some cases, that won’t be practical to do, especially if the theatre can provide an odd number of shows, that is, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. Then, Housefull 5A will have the edge.”
