Housefull 5 Continues Strong Run, Surpasses Sikandar’s Lifetime Collection in Just Six Days

Akshay Kumar’s comedy entertainer Housefull 5 is proving to be a box office winner. In just six days of release, the film has managed to outperform the lifetime earnings of Salman Khan’s Sikandar. The steady growth in collections reflects the film’s mass appeal and strong hold across both urban centres and Tier 2 cities, where family audiences continue to drive footfall.

Box Office Numbers So Far
By the end of Day 6, Housefull 5 has crossed a significant milestone by overtaking the total domestic earnings of Sikandar. The multi-starrer has maintained a consistent performance throughout the week, with only a slight dip on weekdays—common for non-holiday releases. Weekend numbers were particularly strong, pushing the film well past the ₹100 crore mark.

Tier 2 Cities Boosting Business
Apart from metros like Mumbai and Delhi, Housefull 5 is performing well in Tier 2 markets such as Nagpur, Indore, Lucknow, and Surat. The film’s humour, star power, and franchise loyalty seem to be resonating with small-town audiences, who are returning to cinemas in larger numbers post-pandemic.

Ensemble Cast and Comedy Appeal
Starring Akshay Kumar alongside a large ensemble cast, the film combines slapstick humour with colourful visuals and catchy music. While critics have given mixed reviews, audience reception has been largely positive, especially among fans of the long-running franchise.

Comparison with Sikandar
Salman Khan’s Sikandar, despite a strong start and major star backing, saw a gradual slowdown at the box office after its first weekend. In contrast, Housefull 5 has shown better weekday retention, highlighting the franchise’s consistent fanbase and repeat value among family audiences.

Outlook for the Coming Days
With no major releases scheduled until the next weekend, Housefull 5 is expected to continue its momentum. If the trend holds, the film could emerge as one of the top earners of the year so far. Trade analysts are closely watching the second weekend collections, which will determine its long-term success.

Conclusion
Housefull 5 has cemented its place as a commercial success, outperforming expectations and surpassing Sikandar within a week. For Akshay Kumar, this marks a much-needed hit, and for the franchise, it proves the enduring popularity of big-screen comedy. With strong support from Tier 2 city audiences, the film’s run is far from over.
