The trailer of the much-awaited film Housefull 5 has finally been released and it has enhanced the buzz for the film. Looking at the response, many feel that it can emerge as the biggest opener of Akshay Kumar, beating the first-day earnings of Gold (2018; Rs. 25.25 crores) and Mission Mangal (2019; Rs. 29.16 crores).

He explained, “For some reason, our industry doesn’t release biggies during IPL. What they don’t realize is that very few people overall watch IPL matches.

Raqeeb is so busy trying to shock us with its high-voltage wantonness, it forgets to pause and refuel its creative motors. The narrative moves at breakneck speed, creating a highly charged, sexually defiant version of Abbas-Mustan’s Humraaz—about the benevolent husband, the adulterous wife, and her amoral lover.

There are three heroes, one heroine, two item songs, three romantic songs, three attempted murders, and a couple of funerals. There’s also a rather vulgar item song by starlet Sherlyn Chopra.
