Housefull is an Indian comedy film series. The series stars Akshay Kumar and Ritesh Deshmukh in all the films. The first two films Housefull and Housefull 2 were directed by Sajid Khan.[1][2] The third film, Housefull 3, was directed by Sajid-Farhad, the fourth film Housefull 4 was directed by Farhad Samji and the fifth film Housefull 5 is directed by Tarun Mansukhani.[3] The series is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Each film starts with a fresh story unrelated with the preceding film's story. However, the theme and the pace remains the same.[4][5]
Despite a mixed critical reception from the critics, the series has been commercially successful, grossing all over ₹ 800 crore worldwide.[6] It is currently the highest grossing comedy film franchise in Indian cinema[7] as well as 7th highest-grossing Indian film series of all time in general.
