Sonam
Bajwa,
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Akshay
Kumar
in
Housefull
5.
Housefull
5
has
crossed
the
Rs
150
crore
(Rs
15
billion)
milestone
after
being
in
theatres
for
10
days.
It
had
collected
Rs
133.58
crore
(Rs
13.36
billion)
in
its
first
week
and
then
the
target
was
to
bring
in
another
Rs
25
crore
to
Rs
30
crore
(Rs
250
million
to
Rs
300
million)
in
its
second
weekend.
This
is
what
happened,
as
about
Rs
27
crore*
(Rs
270
million)
came
in
between
Friday
to
Sunday.
On
Friday,
the
film
collected
Rs
6.60
crore
(Rs
66
million),
and
saw
a
big
jump
on
Saturday,
collecting
Rs
10.21
crore
(Rs
102.1
million).
Now,
the
momentum
has
to
continue
in
the
weekdays.
The
comedy
multi-starrer
has
already
collected
Rs
162
crore*
(Rs
1.62
billion)
and
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
if
the
Rs
200
crore
(Rs
2
billion)
mark
will
be
breached
at
the
end
of
its
lifetime.
This
Friday
sees
the
release
of
Aamir
Khan’s
Sitaare
Zameen
Par,
which
will
give
good
competition
to
Housefull
5
in
the
days
to
come.
