Housefull 5 hit theatres today (June 6) and it's already trending for reasons beyond comedy. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan. But what really shocked fans was Bobby Deol’s surprise cameo. His unannounced entry is now being compared to his breakout role in Animal.

The film was released in two versions - (Housefull 5A and 5B)each with a different climax. The mystery around the killer had fans talking even before release, and the twin endings only added to the curiosity.

There was buzz earlier about John Abraham appearing in the film, possibly as the killer. But the trailers and posters didn’t hint at it, and those rumours eventually faded. Instead, viewers were caught off guard when Bobby Deol popped up during a crucial scene.

Fans on social media couldn’t contain their excitement. Many called his entry the best moment of the film. He wasn’t included in any posters or promotions, which made the cameo even more surprising. Viewers think this was a planned move by the makers to keep the twist a secret.

Now, fans are debating if Bobby’s role in Housefull 5 can match or even top his performance in Animal. Many say it’s unlikely, since a short cameo can’t compare to a full-length intense role. Still, his presence brought strong reactions and whistles from the audience.

He also acted in Housefull 4, so the return adds nostalgia for long-time fans. But it’s evident that Animal has raised the bar for Bobby’s future roles.

Housefull 5 Reviews

Critics and viewers are divided over the film. Some are calling it a full-on masala entertainer with a twisty plot. Others feel it misses the mark on comedy but credit the mystery track for holding attention.

The dual versions have sparked curiosity, especially among fans wanting to catch both endings. With its mix of chaos, laughs, and suspense, the movie is typical Housefull fare. But Bobby Deol’s surprise role is stealing the spotlight.

Bobby was last seen in films like Animal and Kanguva. He will now appear in YRF’s Alpha, which stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as leads.
