About Housefull 5

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala's production banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the comedy stars an ensemble cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet, Johny Lever, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Panday, Dino Morea, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma. It is directed by Tarun Mansukhani.

The film revolves around a murder on a cruise ship. A wealthy billionaire (Ranjeet) is murdered shortly after he announces he will leave his wealth to his successor Jolly. The twist is that there are three Jollys on the cruise - Akshay, Riteish, and Abhishek. Along with them, their girlfriends are all suspects in the murder.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Akshay knows exactly what’s expected of him. This is classic Akshay comedy territory, and he makes even the flat writing work. But it’s also clear that Sajid is relying far more on his star’s charm than on crafting genuinely funny material. Often, the jokes are a joke.”
