Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 is breaking the mould with two endings and two killers. Both versions reveal Abhishek Bachchan’s character as a killer, but the mastermind differs and here’s what you need to know. In the comedy-thriller Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan, a billionaire’s murder leads to an inquiry aboard a cruise ship. The twist? The mystery is further complicated by the fact that each of the three leads portrays a different Jolly.
Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B are the two versions of the movie that have been released. Although their plots and first two hours are identical, their conclusions differ and each one identifies a different murderer as the culprit. This novel strategy has generated excitement and drawn viewers back for more than one viewing.
Two Masterminds, Two Endings
Jalbhushan, also known as Jolly, played by Abhishek Bachchan, is identified as one of the murderers in both versions of Housefull 5. The killings’ mastermind, however, is revealed differently in the two endings.
In Housefull 5A, Dev (Fardeen Khan), the late billionaire’s son, is the villain who conspires with the fake Jolly to seize his father’s large fortune.
In Housefull 5B, the mastermind is revealed to be Maya (Chitrangada Singh), the company’s CFO. Maya is driven by gambling debts, orchestrates the killings in order to transfer the riches to the board of directors.
Why Two Endings in Housefull 5?
Only the actors knew that the two endings were different since they were shot simultaneously but separately. By encouraging viewers to see both versions, this double-ending strategy aims to increase ticket sales.
Multiplexes schedule two shows per screen for each version of Housefull 5A and 5B, according to distributors, who suggest equal screen allocation for both versions.
