Housefull 5 Box Office Day 2 on BookMyShow: Sees 28% Jump, Surpasses Every Hindi Film Except One – Is It Enough for Akshay Kumar?
Akshay Kumar’s much-anticipated comedy franchise film, Housefull 5, has seen a modest 28% increase in ticket sales on its second day (Saturday, June 7, 2025), according to data from BookMyShow (BMS).

📈 Housefull 5 Box Office Day 2: What the Numbers Say
While the 28% rise in ticket sales on Day 2 indicates growing interest among moviegoers, Housefull 5 still hasn't hit the peak levels typically expected from an Akshay Kumar-led film. Most major Bollywood films witness a significant surge during weekend peak hours on BMS—often exceeding 50K tickets in a single hour.
In contrast, Housefull 5 recorded a peak hour of just 26K tickets on its opening day, raising questions about its overall buzz and audience pull.

🤔 Is Housefull 5’s Performance Enough for Akshay Kumar?
The Housefull franchise has historically been a box office hitmaker, but the latest installment has yet to make a resounding impact. The Day 2 performance, while better than Day 1, raises questions about the long-term commercial prospects of the film.
Akshay Kumar, a veteran with a strong box office track record, may need stronger weekday retention and exceptional Sunday footfalls to compensate for the lukewarm start.
🗣️ Audience Buzz and Online Sentiment
Initial reactions are mixed. While some fans appreciate the film’s humor and ensemble cast, many have pointed out lackluster writing and repetitive gags. Social media engagement has been moderate, suggesting the film may not generate the kind of viral momentum its predecessors enjoyed.
📊 Conclusion: Housefull 5 Needs More Than Just a Weekend Bump
With 860K total tickets sold on BMS in two days, Housefull 5 remains a top performer this weekend but has not yet achieved blockbuster status. The film will need:
Stronger hold on Sunday
Positive word-of-mouth
Improved performance in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities
to reach its full box office potential.
