The Bollywood comedy franchise Housefull is back with its fifth installment, Housefull 5, set to release on June 6, 2025. This time, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has introduced a groundbreaking concept that’s generating buzz across the industry: the film will feature two different endings, with each theater screening a unique version, complete with a different killer and distinct comedic twists. This innovative approach promises to redefine the moviegoing experience, blending the franchise’s signature slapstick humor with a thrilling murder mystery. Here’s everything you need to know about Housefull 5’s dual endings.
What Makes Housefull 5’s Dual Endings Unique?
For the first time in Indian cinema, Housefull 5 will offer audiences two distinct versions of the film, titled Housefull 5 and Housefull 5A. According to producer Sajid Nadiadwala, each version will have a different killer and a completely different climax in the final 20 minutes, ensuring a fresh experience depending on the theater you visit. For example, if you watch the film at Gaiety Galaxy, you’ll see one killer, while a screening at a PVR theater might reveal another. This concept, which Nadiadwala has been developing for 30 years, aims to keep audiences guessing and spark conversations long after the credits roll.
The dual endings add a layer of intrigue to the film’s murder mystery plot, set aboard a luxury cruise. With a star-studded ensemble cast of 19 actors, including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Nargis Fakhri, the film combines chaotic comedy with suspense.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 boasts an impressive cast, including returning franchise favorites and new additions.

Other notable actors include Nargis Fakhri, Fardeen Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nana Patekar, Johnny Lever, and Chunky Pandey, among others. The film marks significant comebacks for Fardeen Khan, who returns to the big screen after a 12-year hiatus, and Nargis Fakhri, who landed her role after a chance encounter with Nadiadwala.
