The Housefull franchise has thrived on chaos — now with Housefull 5, which has ratcheted it up another notch.
Somehow, in a concept not seen before in Hindi cinema, the producer Sajid Nadiadwala has created two completely different films — Housefull 5 and Housefull 5A, each with a different killer in the climax.
That’s right, two endings, two murderers, and one completely silly comedy.
Two Versions. Two Killers. One Franchise Making History.
According to an exclusive source, the choice to introduce Housefull 5 and Housefull 5A as completely separate productions stems from a very bold and zany creative concept focused on encouraging repeat viewership.
A source involved in the project said:
“The killer is X in Housefull 5, the killer would be Y in Housefull 5A. The last 20 minutes are totally different — different jokes, different reveals, different chain of events. This twist does not just change the killer — it changes the fact that it is a comedy of errors.”
This creative approach, thought of by Sajid Nadiadwala himself, also benefits from a strong marketing angle — you will have to see both movies to get the full experience.
According to the sources, major ticketing platforms such as BookMyShow will list out both movies with distinct titles so that audiences don’t get confused (or maybe will be confused when they pick one of the two for their ending!).
CBFC Gives Go Ahead For Both Versions With U/A Rating
Earlier Box Office Worldwide revealed that two separate cuts of Housefull 5 had been submitted to the CBFC. Now we have the scoop why — both were given approval; each cut is around 2 hours and 43 minutes of star-filled insanity.

Box Office Worldwide Verdict
Sajid Nadiadwala just pulled a rabbit out of a comedy hat… or should we say, two rabbits? Launching Housefull 5 and Housefull 5A with alternate endings means the franchise has gone into uncharted territory — it’s not just a film anymore; it’s a cinematic roulette. And it feels like, amid so much content fatigue, this is exactly what Bollywood needs — some mad innovation.
