The film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, was released on June 6, 2025.

Sajid Nadiadwala’s latest production “Housefull 5” has emerged as a clear winner at the box office. With a production budget of film at Rs. 225 crore and an additional Rs.15 crore spent on prints and advertising, the film’s total cost stood at Rs. 240 crore.

Through a smart blend of box office performance and non-theatrical revenues, the film has secured profitability. The film had already recovered a substantial Rs.175 crore pre-release through strategic deals, which includes Rs.90 crore from its OTT rights, Rs.55 crore from satellite rights and Rs.30 crore from music rights

This left the film with Rs.65 crore to recover from its theatrical run. With a worldwide gross already crossing Rs. 227.7 crore comfortably above the breakeven mark of Rs. 150 crore required for profitability.
