Vicky Kaushal delivered the year’s biggest hit with Chhava, co-starring Rashmika Mandanna. The film has emerged as the top-grossing Bollywood release of 2025 so far. However, the streak may not last long, as two high-profile films are lined up for release.

Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ Hits Theatres Tomorrow

Salman Khan’s much-awaited film Sikandar is all set for release on March 30. With massive fan anticipation and star power, the film could pose serious competition to Chhava at the box office.

‘Housefull 5’ to Arrive with a Power-Packed Star Cast

Another major release is Housefull 5, which will hit theatres on June 6. Directed by Tarun Munakshini and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film features a whopping 14 Bollywood stars. The ensemble cast includes:

Akshay Kumar

Sanjay Dutt

Abhishek Bachchan

Nana Patekar

Riteish Deshmukh

Shreyas Talpade

Jacqueline Fernandez

Chitrangada Singh

Nargis Fakhri

Jackie Shroff

Sonam Bajwa

Johnny Lever

Archana Puran Singh

Chunky Pandey

Ranjeet Bedi

Niketan Dheer

Dinu Maurya

Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the franchise, expecting non-stop comedy and high-energy performances.

A Legendary Comedy Franchise Returns

The Housefull series began in 2010 and quickly became one of Bollywood’s most beloved comedy franchises. The first installment featured Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, and Ritesh Deshmukh, among others. With each new film, the franchise has built a loyal fanbase.

Housefull 5 marks the fifth chapter in this hit series and is expected to be one of the biggest comedies of the year. Given its massive star lineup and fan excitement, industry insiders believe it has the potential to break Chhava’s box office record.

Box Office Face-Off Awaits

While Chhava has set a high benchmark, Sikandar and Housefull 5 could shift the momentum. Whether these films surpass Chhava will depend on audience reception and box office performance in the coming weeks.
