The Housefull franchise is known for its signature brand of chaotic slapstick, mistaken identities, and over-the-top humor. With Housefull 5, the creators attempted a marketing gamble — releasing two versions of the same movie, labeled Version A and Version B. The promise? Different endings. The reality? A nearly identical experience with a mild twist that barely justifies the double feature.
