Records Broken on Day 10

Housefull 5 surpassed the 10-day earnings of seven notable films including Super 30, Total Dhamaal, Dream Girl, Fighter, Chhichhore, Chennai Express, and Gangubai Kathiawadi. It currently ranks 42nd on the list of highest 10-day earners.

Why Is Akshay Kumar Still Under Threat?

Despite the record, Housefull 5 remains far from its budget, raising concerns over its final fate. Akshay Kumar’s recent films had mixed responses, with promising performances in Skyforce and Kesari Chapter 2 failing to translate into hits. Critics and fans now worry that Housefull 5's weak content may impact Akshay’s upcoming projects.

Notably, Hera Pheri 3 has hit turbulence after Paresh Rawal’s departure, and Welcome to the Jungle faces long delays with no updates, casting further doubts on Akshay’s near-future releases.

In summary, while Housefull 5 showed a late surge, Akshay Kumar’s box office dominance is being tested amid a challenging slate of films ahead.
