Ah, the great Bollywood showdown—where the only thing more inflated than the actors’ egos are their box-office numbers. Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 is currently strutting its stuff at the box office, boasting a not-so-humble total of ₹116.68 crore after just five days. That’s like finding a few extra coins in your couch cushions—but hey, it’s a start.
Can Akshay Keep Up With Ajay?
Now, when we pit Akshay’s comedic flair against Ajay Devgn’s illustrious Golmaal saga, it’s like comparing a peacock in a mirror to a lion in a throne room. Both have their followers, but one clearly has the edge in profitability. If a film’s life were a marathon, it appears Golmaal is sprinting to the finish line while Housefull is still asking for directions.
Housefull 5: An Uphill Climb!
To register a hit, Housefull 5 needs to hit a jaw-dropping ₹450 crore. Just think about that for a second: with a budget of ₹225 crore, it’s like saying, “I just ran a marathon, but now I need to run a second one to actually get fit.” Good luck with that!
And if you’re wondering how the Housefull clan stacks up against the illustrious Golmaal, let’s break it down:
Housefull Franchise:
Housefull 4: ₹206 crore | Budget: ₹100 crore
Housefull 3: ₹107 crore | Budget: ₹85 crore
Housefull 2: ₹114 crore | Budget: ₹72 crore
Housefull : ₹74.4 crore | Budget: ₹45 crore
Total Collection: ₹501.4 crore | Budget: ₹302 crore
Meanwhile, the Golmaal tribe, feeling like bosses:
Golmaal Franchise:
Golmaal Again: ₹205.72 crore | Budget: ₹80 crore
Golmaal 3: ₹106.3 crore | Budget: ₹40 crore
Golmaal Returns: ₹51.55 crore | Budget: ₹35 crore
Golmaal: ₹29 crore | Budget: ₹11 crore
Total Collection: ₹326.88 crore | Budget: ₹166 crore
Profit By Numbers: It’s a Comedy Show!
Here’s where it gets juicy. The Housefull brigade has managed a lackluster profit of 66% from their four films—let that sink in. Meanwhile, the Golmaal squad flaunts a flair for financial finesse with a whopping 96.9% profit!
Housefull 5: A Gimmick or the Real Deal?
So, even if Housefull 5 manages to reach the coveted ₹450 crore milestone, its profits would only be about 80.5%. Spoiler alert: still below the Golmaal franchise, which intends to drop its fifth installment next year. Talk about a never-ending loop of comedy chaos!
And let’s not forget the grand finale: it looks like Ajay Devgn might just walk away with a trophy for this fiscal comedy show—apologies to Akshay, but everyone loves a good underdog story. Or do they?
