With Housefull 5 crossing the INR 100 crore milestone, this marks Akshay Kumar’s second film in 2025 to achieve the feat after Sky Force - though the latter’s collections were heavily scrutinised by trade experts for allegedly relying on mass bookings and promotional offers to inflate numbers.

Akshay Kumar’s INR 100 Crore Club: More Hits Than Misses!

By entering the INR 100 crore club with Housefull 5, Akshay Kumar now has 18 films in this elite category - a remarkable milestone for a Bollywood star. But the bigger question is: were these films genuinely successful? Let’s break it down. PS: Not counting movies where he had cameos, like Singham Again.

18. Gold (2018) - INR 104.72 crore - Average

As the list shows, barring a few disappointments, most of Akshay Kumar’s INR 100 crore grossers have been hits. The majority of these films were released between 2012 and 2020 - the pre-pandemic era - when Akshay was largely focused on socially driven content. Many were also made on controlled budgets, ensuring profitability once they crossed the INR 100 crore mark. Akshay Kumar’s Best Opening Weekend Grossers: Did ‘Housefull 5’ Top the List That Ranges From ‘Kesari’ to ‘Mission Mangal’?

Latest 'Housefull 5' Box Office Update

However, post-pandemic, the actor has struggled to deliver consistent hits, compounded by ballooning budgets. For instance, Sky Force - despite its reported INR 131.44 crore collections - failed to recover its alleged INR 160 crore budget. ‘Sky Force’ Box Office: Trade Analyst Komal Nahta Accuses Akshay Kumar-Veer Pahariya’s Movie of Massive ‘Block Booking’ and Inflating Collections (Watch Video).

Is 'Housefull 5' a Box Office Success?

Housefull 5 has recorded the best opening weekend of the franchise and could potentially surpass Housefull 4 (INR 194.60 crore) to become the highest-grossing instalment. However, it is also the most expensive film in the series, with a reported budget of INR 225 crore.

To break even theatrically, the film needs to gross over INR 350 crore worldwide. While ancillary revenues (OTT, digital rights, etc.) may eventually push it into profitability, the real benchmark is whether both producers and distributors make money.

It’s still too early to declare a verdict, but with Sitaare Zameen Par being the next major Hindi release (on June 20), Housefull 5 has a clear runway to maximise its collections.
