Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Fardeen Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Soundarya Sharma, and others, was released on Friday. The film has received mostly negative reviews, but on day 1, it took a bumper opening of Rs. 24 crore. However, people on social media are upset with the makers of the film as they feel that there’s a lot of objectification of women in Housefull 5.
A netizen tweeted, “The storyline was messy, but the worst thing was the objectification of the actresses. Especially of Soundarya Sharma. Worst movie of the Housefull franchise (sic).” Another X user wrote, “Let's be real for a moment: all of the women were heavily objectified sexually. None of them had anything else to do in this movie other than being eye candy and catering solely to the male gaze. I still feel so disgusted. #Housefull5 (sic).”
One more netizen posted, “The most cheap thing about housefull 5 is how they treated their female leads the air duct crawling sequence, intros and especially the debut soundarya bichari ko toh puri movie mein buss sexualize karne ke liye rakha hai (sic).” Check out the tweets below…
Housefull 5 Box Office Collection
Despite getting negative reviews from the critics and the audience, Housefull 5 is doing well at the box office. On its second day, the film is expected to take a huge jump and collect around Rs. 30-32 crore. So, in two days, the collection will be around Rs. 55 crore which is good.
However, the budget of the film is very high, so on Sunday it once again needs to show a huge jump, and then be stable at the box office over the weekend.
