Housefull 5 Trailer Out: Akshay Kumar-Led Comedy-Thriller Sets Sail with a Killer Twist

The much-anticipated trailer of Housefull 5 has finally dropped, and it promises to be the zaniest ride yet from Bollywood’s favorite comedy franchise. This time, the laughs come with a deadly twist—quite literally. The fifth instalment in the blockbuster Housefull series blends slapstick humor, chaotic family feuds, and a suspense-filled murder mystery, all unfolding aboard a luxurious cruise ship.

Housefull 5 Trailer Out: Three Jollys, One Murder, and a Multi-Billion Pound Inheritance

The trailer opens on a grand cruise ship slicing through European waters, where celebrations are underway for the 100th birthday of a billionaire named Ranjit (played by Nana Patekar). In a shocking revelation, Ranjit announces he will be leaving behind his £69 billion fortune to “Jolly.” The catch? There are three Jollys on board—played by Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh—each claiming to be the true heir.

What begins as hilarious confusion soon takes a dark turn. Ranjit is mysteriously murdered, and the three Jollys become prime suspects in a twisted whodunit. From comic brawls and identity crises to blackout hangovers and explosive confrontations, the trailer teases a laugh-out-loud yet edge-of-your-seat experience.

A Bollywood First: Multiple Endings for Different Theatres

What truly sets Housefull 5 apart is its innovative storytelling format. For the first time in Indian cinema, the film will feature alternate endings, each revealing a different killer. Depending on which theatre you watch the film in, you'll see a unique climax. This never-before-seen approach is the brainchild of producer and writer Sajid Nadiadwala, who reportedly conceived the idea three decades ago and has now brought it to life.
