Akshay Kumar returns after rough patch Housefull 5 crosses ₹100 crore mark

Markedly, ₹100 crore club has emerged as a popular way to gauge an actor’s box office pull and star power in today’s Hindi Cinema.

The Akshay Kumar Sajid Nadiadwala produced film “Housefull 5” has made its entry in the Rs.100 crore Club.

But there’s mounting debate over whether this Rs.100 Cr Club still holds the same value. A decade ago, reaching ₹100 crore was a big deal—it marked a film as a major hit.

Now, with escalating production costs and higher ticket prices, particularly for films featuring A-list actors, ₹100 crore feels more like a baseline than a benchmark. For stars like Akshay, Salman, or Ajay, it’s almost anticipated.

Akshay’s recent return—after a rough patch has been strong. He’s delivered three back-to-back hits in 2025: Sky Force, Kesari 2, and now Housefull 5.
With Jolly LLB 3 and Bhooth Bangla lined up, he could soon become the first actor to hit 20 films in the ₹100 crore club. Still, not everyone is impressed. Many critics feel that the obsession with box office numbers has taken the focus away from storytelling and creativity.
