Housefull 5 released on OTT: Where to watch both 5A and 5B versions of comedy drama

Send Push
Housefull 5, the latest entry in the long-running comedy franchise, has turned out to be a massive commercial success. Featuring an ensemble cast led by Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, and several Bollywood veterans and fresh faces, the film has already crossed Rs 300 crore in worldwide gross box office collections. Domestically, it has earned over Rs 200 crore, making it one of the biggest Hindi comedy releases in recent years.

Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B
Released on June 6, Housefull 5 took a unique approach by being split into two parts—Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B. While both versions begin identically, the final 20 minutes of each differ, creating two alternate climaxes and driving repeat viewership.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced under Sajid Nadiadwala's banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film has captured the attention of audiences across regions, particularly in North India where it has reportedly outperformed rival comedy franchises like Golmaal and Dhamaal.

The film introduces Punjabi actress Sonam Bajwa to Hindi cinema and features a sprawling cast that includes Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Fardeen Khan, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Ranjeet, Dino Morea, Chitrangada Singh, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.

Housefull 5 plot

The plot centers around three impostors pretending to be the missing heirs of a billionaire family. What starts off as a farcical con spirals into a dark twist, as they find themselves entangled in a string of mysterious murders. Despite the film’s comedic roots, this edge of suspense adds a fresh layer to the franchise formula.

With a total production and marketing budget of ₹240 crore (₹225 crore for production and ₹15 crore for promotions), Housefull 5 entered theatres with significant financial backing, according to news agency IANS. It had already recouped a large part of its investment before release. Strategic pre-release deals secured Rs 175 crore through various channels: Rs 90 crore from OTT rights, Rs 55 crore from satellite rights, and Rs 30 crore from music rights, the report said.

Where to watch Housefull 5A and 5B?
Now, Housefull 5 is up for grabs on Amazon Prime Video, but you’ll need to pay to rent it—even if you’re already a Prime subscriber. Whether fans missed it in theatres or want to relive the alternate ending, the film’s OTT drop ensures the comedy chaos continues—at a price.
