About ‘Housefull 5’The plot of ‘Housefull 5’ comes with a twist that’s a bit different from the usual comedy storylines. This time, there’s a murder on a cruise ship! A rich billionaire is killed just after he says he will leave his fortune to someone named Jolly. But here’s the catch — there are three Jollys onboard. Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan all play characters named Jolly. To make things more confusing (and fun), their girlfriends are also suspects in the murder. This mix of mystery and madness has added a fresh spin to the franchise, keeping the audience guessing and laughing at the same time.Two different endingsAnother unique thing about ‘Housefull 5’ is that it was released with two different endings. That’s right — there’s ‘Housefull 5A’ and ‘Housefull 5B’. Both versions are playing in cinemas at the same time, and viewers can choose which one they want to watch.
