Housefull 5 starring Akshay Kumar is all set to stream online. Find out the expected OTT release date, platform, and how you can watch the film at home.
After a successful theatrical run, Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan, is gearing up for its OTT release.
After nearly six years, the beloved Housefull franchise has made its grand return with Housefull 5, which hit theatres on June 6, 2025. The film has been creating ripples not just for its star-studded ensemble but also for its unique narrative format—two versions of the film were released simultaneously, Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B, each featuring a different climax. This experimental approach has intrigued fans and drawn attention from critics alike, who have praised the film for its bold attempt to shake up the traditional comedy formula.
For those who missed the theatrical release or prefer to catch up on the chaos from the comfort of home, there’s good news. According to reports, the film is expected to stream on Amazon Prime Video. While an official confirmation is still awaited, buzz suggests that a digital premiere is likely to happen soon, giving fans another opportunity to dive into the madness.
Set aboard a luxurious cruise liner, Housefull 5 blends comedy with suspense, anchored around a billionaire’s shocking death right after he announces his heir—Jolly. The twist? There are three men aboard claiming to be Jolly, played by Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan. What follows is a rollercoaster of mistaken identities, relationship drama, and uproarious confusion, as their girlfriends (Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri) and a team of eccentric investigators try to unravel the truth. The film’s oceanic setting and cruise backdrop serve as the perfect playground for its high-octane chaos and hilarity.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and co-written by Farhad Samji, Housefull 5 also features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangda Singh, Dino Morea, Fardeen Khan, Johnny Lever, Chunky Panday, Ranjeet, Shreyas Talpade, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, Archana Puran Singh, Bobby Deol, and Mithun Chakraborty. Each character adds to the quirky fabric of the plot, making it a typical yet fresh entry in the franchise. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Firuzi Khan, and Warda Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film has been commended for maintaining the franchise’s legacy while introducing new creative elements.
Whether it’s the whodunit twist, the dual endings, or just the comfort of familiar faces in over-the-top situations, Housefull 5 delivers a full dose of entertainment. With its OTT release on the horizon, fans who missed the ship in cinemas might soon get a chance to board the wildest cruise in Bollywood.
