Plot Summary (No Spoilers)
Housefull 5 revolves around three couples, mistaken identities, royal curses, and a haunted palace in Scotland. As expected from the franchise, the plot is convoluted, but that’s where the charm lies. Things escalate when doppelgängers and ancestral ghosts enter the picture, pushing everyone into hilarious situations.
But what truly sets this installment apart is the dual climax twist—two completely different endings shown in different theatres! One focuses on a comic resolution, while the other provides a surprisingly heartfelt closure. It’s an experiment that adds novelty and gives fans a reason to return for a second watch.

Direction & Screenplay
Director Tarun Mansukhani, stepping into a franchise built by Sajid Khan, manages to retain the spirit while giving the film a slick, fresh vibe. The screenplay by Farhad Samji is high on pun-based humor and one-liners, though it dips occasionally into repetition. The pacing is fast, ensuring there’s no dull moment.
Music & Technicals
Songs like “Pagalpanti Ka Tadka” and “Scotland Mein Shaadi” are catchy and shot lavishly.
Background score by Julius Packiam adds to the chaotic fun.
The cinematography beautifully captures the grandeur of Scottish castles and misty countryside, giving the film a regal yet quirky tone.
Verdict
Housefull 5 doesn’t take itself seriously—and that’s the best part. It delivers what it promises: madcap comedy, larger-than-life characters, and a twist that keeps audiences talking. The dual climax is a bold move that pays off in adding curiosity and engagement.
