Plot Overview: Murder Mystery Meets Cruise Comedy

Set aboard a luxury yacht during a billionaire’s grand 100th birthday party, Housefull 5 kicks off with a lavish celebration narrated by Nana Patekar. But the party takes a dark turn when the billionaire drops dead just before announcing his will.

Now the spotlight shifts to Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan, who all claim to be the billionaire’s son—and the rightful heir. The catch? Their drinks were spiked the previous night, and they’ve lost all memory of who they really are. Accused of murder and jailed on the cruise, the trio is clueless and chaotic.

To solve the mystery, two surprising case, Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt step in as bumbling detectives. What follows is a comedy of errors that zigzags across Europe—from London and France to Spain—before circling back to the UK for a madcap climax.

Massive Star Cast: One of Bollywood’s Biggest Ensembles

Housefull 5 boasts one of the most star-studded casts in recent Bollywood history.
