Honestly, most people I know were expecting Housefull 5 to be classic Akshay Kumar funny, like the old school Hera Pheri or the earlier Housefull films. But after watching it, I’ve gotta say, it just isn’t his funniest work. Reviews and my friends both kinda agreed that the jokes just didn’t slap the same way. Some actors tried hard, and there are a few moments here and there that might make you laugh if you’re in the right mood, but a lot of the humor felt forced or just overdone.
Even critics picked it apart for the weird script and the weird way women were written in. Akshay totally has a talent for comedy, but in Housefull 5, he’s kinda just repeating himself at this point. If you want peak Akshay Kumar laughs, I'd still tell you to watch the OG Housefull or Bhool Bhulaiyaa. This newest one is more like, watch with your squad just for the chaos, not because you’re expecting to die laughing. I expected better! I’m hoping next time he does a straight-up comedy, it’s fresh and actually hilarious.
