With Housefull 5, which was released in theaters today (June 6), Akshay Kumar has returned to the nonsensical comedy genre. With its release in 5,000 locations throughout India, the Tarun Mansukhani-directed movie is one of Akshay's most widely distributed works. The movie has been released in two versions, which is interesting, but the release is based on the climax rather than the language or viewing format. There are two distinct conclusions to Housefull 5, and each was released at the same time as Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B.

The story of a murder on a cruise ship is told in Housefull 5. Soon after he declares he will leave his fortune to his successor Jolly, a rich billionaire named Ranjeet is assassinated. The twist is that the ship has three Jollys: Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, and Akshay Kumar. The murder suspects include the three men and their girlfriends, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri. There are minor differences in the viewing experience due to the two iterations of Housefull 5 having distinct murderers and endings. The film's 140-minute duration is divided into two halves, with the last 20 minutes varying between the two versions, according to the filmmakers.

Distributors claim they are getting nearly the same number of screens for each version. With any extra performance going to Kamal Haasan's Thug Life, which was also launched this weekend, the majority of multiplexes have maintained two performances each screen for both films.

Which version would be best to watch?

The movie has received mostly favorable reviews from critics and audiences alike, praising its slapstick style and humor. According to the response, 5A has a clear resolution, and 5B is nearly identical to it, although some people thought it was coerced. According to the manufacturers, you could watch both. In a video posted by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment prior to the release, Riteish and Akshay encouraged viewers to see the movie twice – once for each ending.

Why are there two possible outcomes?

The goal of the two endings is to increase profits. Word of mouth will convince viewers to see the movie in theaters if it is well received. Additionally, the producers are hoping that the two conclusions will persuade some, if not all, viewers to go back to the theaters to see the film again. Outside of the diehard fan bases of actors, the practice of seeing a movie several times in theaters is dwindling. The producers of Housefull 5 want to bring this back to life.
