Akshay Kumar is once again proving to be his own biggest competition at the box office. His latest release, ‘Housefull 5’, has officially outperformed his earlier 2025 film ‘Sky Force’, securing the position of the third highest-grossing Hindi film of the year so far.
📊 Box Office Numbers
- ‘Housefull 5’: ₹119.75 crore in 6 days
- ‘Sky Force’: ₹112.75 crore (lifetime)
While Sky Force — a patriotic action-drama — had a decent run with a ₹86.5 crore Week 1 total, it slowed in later weeks and wrapped up just shy of ₹113 crore after four weeks. Housefull 5, however, stormed past that in less than a week with:
- A strong opening of ₹24 crore
- Massive weekend numbers, driven by franchise love and comic appeal
🎬 About ‘Housefull 5’
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 delivers the familiar brand of slapstick comedy, wild confusion, and chaotic humor that has defined the franchise. With an ensemble cast featuring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, and others, the film has struck a chord with family audiences.
🔥 Akshay’s Box Office Domination
Akshay Kumar now has two blockbuster hits in 2025:
- Sky Force showcased his patriotic/action side
- Housefull 5 highlighted his impeccable comic timing
This rare feat—competing with oneself and winning both times—reaffirms his versatility and resilience, especially in a year when Bollywood has faced a mixed bag of successes and setbacks.
With several more big-ticket films lined up this year, including Khel Khel Mein and Welcome To The Jungle, the Khiladi of Bollywood looks set to extend his box office reign well into the second half of 2025.
