Housefull 5 hits or flops? How many crores will have to be collected? Know why Akshay’s film is in danger
A comedy film “Housefull 5” (Housefull 5) adorned with stars like Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan has made a total collection of Rs 162.69 crore from India in its first 10 days at the box office. However, in view of the film’s target of a collection of at least Rs 300 crore required for the film’s heavy budget and profit of Rs 225 crore, its future is still hanging in the balance.
Initial Collection and Performance:
The film had a collection of Rs 133.58 crore from India in the first week, although expected more expected. In the second weekend, it saw a decline and it collected only 29.11 crores. This slowness shows that the film is struggling to maintain its early pace among the audience.
Budget and Brake-Even Point:
“Housefull 5” has been constructed on a big budget of Rs 225 crore. To declare it successful at the box office, the film will have to withdraw its cost as well as make profits for distributors and producers. If the price received from other rights (such as satellite, digital and music rights) is also added, the film will have to minimize a total collection of Rs 300 crore so that it can get hit status.
Further path and challenges:
Depending on the current collection, reaching the 300 crore mark for “Housefull 5” seems to be a big challenge. Given the speed with which the film is collecting, this figure seems to be a distant dream. This shows that the film will require extraordinary performances to succeed at the box office, especially in the coming weeks. On the other hand, Aamir Khan’s film ‘Stars Zameen Par’ and Kajol’s ‘Maa’ will also be released in the coming weeks, which will increase the challenges in front of Housefull 5.
Response of audience and critics:
The film has received mixed response from the audience. While some viewers are enjoying the comedy elements of the film, many others are considering its story and screenplay as weak. The film has also faced strong criticism from critics. Most critics have condemned its old comedy, weak story and disappointing direction. These negative reviews can definitely adversely affect the film’s further collection.
Starcast and Team:
“Housefull 5” stars Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandes, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Sanjay Dutt, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Shreyas Talpade. The film is directed by Tarun Mansukhani. The film has been produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
It is too early to give a final verdict of ‘hit’ or ‘flop’ at the box office of “Housefull 5”. However, given the current trend and the speed of the film’s collection, the path ahead looks very tight for this. If the film is not able to strengthen its grip in the next few weeks and does not increase a significant increase in the collection, it is more likely to fail at the box office. Mixed response of the audience and severe criticism of critics is also making the future of the film more uncertain.
