OTT Twist: Housefull 5 Hits Amazon Prime with Dual Endings – At a Price

OTT: Housefull 5 Lands on Amazon Prime Video – But There’s a Catch

The latest installment in the Housefull franchise, Housefull 5, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video—but with a twist that’s left many viewers scratching their heads.

Released in theatres on June 6, 2025, the comedy-thriller featured an unusual dual-ending concept with two versions: Housefull 5A and Housefull 5 B. Despite its all-star lineup, including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, and Sanjay Dutt, the film received a lukewarm response at the box office.

Now, in its OTT debut, both endings are available to stream—but here’s the kicker: viewers need to pay nearly ₹700 to access both versions, even on a subscription platform like Prime Video. This pricing strategy has sparked mixed reactions, with many questioning whether the double-charge is worth it for a film that failed to impress theatrically.

The ensemble cast doesn’t stop with the leads—it also features Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Warda Nadiadwala, and Firuzi Khan, Housefull 5 might be packed with star power and surprise, but the real question remains: Will home audiences pay y premium for both endings of an underwhelming comedy?

Nidhhi Agerwal on HHVM: “Working with Pawan Kalyan Garu Is a Privilege”

Nidhhi Agerwal: “It’s a Privilege to Work with Pawan Kalyan Garu on HHVM”

As anticipation builds for Pawan Kalyan’s grand period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu (HHVM), actress Nidhhi Agerwal opens up about her experience working on the much-awaited project. The film is set for a pan-Indian release on July 24, and its trailer has already created massive buzz among fans and cinephiles alike.

Nidhhi, who plays the female lead Panchami, shared her thoughts in a recent promotional interview. “This character is layered and full of contrasts. If you compare ‘Kollagottinadhiro’ with ‘Tara Tara,’ you’ll see two entirely different shades of Panchami. That’s what made the role so special for me,” she said, reflecting on her character’s emotional depth and range.

Transforming into Panchami wasn’t easy—it demanded dedication. “It took almost two hours daily to get into the look. From the intricate costume to the detailed jewellery, everything was crafted meticulously by our stylists. I also trained in horse riding, Bharatanatyam, and fight choreography specifically for this film,” Nidhhi revealed.

Working alongside Pawan Kalyan, Nidhhi says, was a career-defining moment. “I feel genuinely privileged to work with Pawan Kalyan Garu. His aura is unmatched. Doing a hundred films doesn’t compare to sharing screen space with him in even one. I have the most combination scenes with him, and every moment was a learning experience.”

Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Sword vs Spirit also stars Bobby Deol, Nora Fatehi, and others in key roles. Directed by AM Jyoti Krishna and produced by A Dayakara Rao under AM Rathnam’s presentation, the film boasts music by Oscar-winner MM Keeravani, adding to its already stellar pedigree.

With its blend of epic storytelling, star power, and technical finesse, HHVM is gearing up to be one of the biggest releases of the year.
