Those people who consider it cheap are the same who think wearing skirt causes rape. Simple.
Housefull series is crap but nothing vulgar about them. There is hardly any intimate scene, overtly sexual double meaning jokes etc etc. It has as much double meaning jokes as Ready or PK or HNY or CE.
Plus it is fault to parents if they take thier kids to watch adult certified movies like Grand Masti or Kiya Cool Hain Hum.


I think you are being unfair here and unaware too. My friends and I consider these movies vulgar and cheap and we do wear skirts and Rape is the criminal and violent act of a evil or beast man. I would NOT like to talk or refer to rape as lightly as you have. The sick and cheap jokes on women and their organs is disgusting and condemnable. Such movies should actually never be made. They promote the already corrupt mind of the man who is tempted to go ahead and do evil acts.
Parents are not taking kids, the promo songs are played everywhere, radio, tv, malls etc.

srkat love ure analysis & predictions. You can't always give 100% accurate. who knows, ppl were tired with slew of serious type of movies and wanted something lighthearted movie for a change. The movie was crap... only saving grace about the movie was Akshay K. Man, the three leads looked old, bored and bloated.

having said that, I still have a genuine question.


Did u get why he chose to be a part of this film or not?

I'm genuinely curious 😊


It's okay, and no, I don't know why he chose to apart of the film!

@shanky1 why would I edit my predictions? My predictions are 100% honest and I'm not going to change it just because I was wrong. As for the film doing "great" at the box office, here is a post by Indicine...

(@ Franco bro this is for you too, as you requested!):

From Indicine:

Housefull 3 is steady at the box office, but the second week collections have been below expectations since it was a open week. The trend suggests the film will fall short of the total of Housefull 2 (116 crore) - the previous film in the franchise which released back in 2012.

The footfalls of the 3rd film will also be the lowest for the series - about 25-30% lower than Housefull 2 (2012) and 10% lower than Housefull (2010).

Housefull 3 has collected Rs 17.5 crore so far in its second week and the film will end Week 2 with net box office collections of around Rs 22.5 crore - taking the total to somewhere around the 102 - 103 crore mark.

The release of Udta Punjab will affect business at multiplexes and Housefull 3 could add around 10 crore to its total, third week onwards.

The film will cross the 100 crore mark on Wednesday, giving Akshay Kumar his 5th 100 crore film after Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore, Holiday and Airlift.


My analysis: So this is the final verdict on Housefull 3: Yes, I was wrong. The film is NOT a flop. It will enter the 100 crore club and is a HIT. HOWEVER, here are some important things to note...

The footfalls of Housefull 3 are 25-30% lower than Housefull 2, and even 10% lower than Housefull which released all the way back in 2010, which is a frightening stat. For this reason alone, Housefull 3's box office performance is EXTREMELY underwhelming!

Housefull 2 in 2012, with lower ticket prices, non-favorable release period (released DURING IPL period!), and on 2600 screens, had a 13 crore opening and went all the way to 116 lifetime collections with Super Hit verdict. Four years later in 2016, Housefull 3 with higher ticket prices, a much better release period (post-IPL), and on 3700 screens, only showed a marginal improvement on the previous film's opening day by netting 15 crores, and worse, will likely finish with lifetime collections LESS than Housefull 2. DISSAPOINTING!

Also, here's more: Akshay Kumar is one of the biggest Bollywood stars in India. FACT. In 2012, when Housefull 2 did 116 crores during IPL season, it was a very good result, as the highest grosser that time was 3 Idiots which did 202 crores net during Christmas period. In today's time, the highest grosser is PK, with net collections of 340 crores. For Akshay Kumar, he should be at least delivering films that enter the 200 crore club, and when you have a big commercial entertainer/sequel like Housefull 3, that is what is expected. The period was there: Ranbir Kapoor's YJHD did 188 crores net during Post-IPL in 2013. There is no reason why Akshay shouldn't have been aiming for the 200 crore mark this year with this film. However, the final lifetime collections will settle at just about 110+ crores it seems, which is disappointing!

SO yeah, the makers of Housefull 3 will act like they have a huge success on their hands, and although the film is a HIT, it's also a massive under performer at the box office, partly because of the somewhat weak pre-release buzz, and partly because of the Mixed WOM of the film.

Simply, Housefull 3 has failed to carry the Housefull franchise forward!

Akshay giving two back-to-back 100 crore films in 2012 was impressive. In 2016, when the benchmark is much higher, it's not so impressive!


@IhateKhans Thank you for the feedback 😃 I genuinely appreciate it.

Bumped, just so that more people can read my last comment 😊 and an update...

Housefull 3 And TE3N Box Office Update
Saturday 18 June 2016 12.30 IST
Box Office India Trade Network

Housefull 3 dropped at the start of the third week as it faced major competition with the release of Udta Punjab. The collectons of Housefull 3 till date are as follows..

Week One - 80,02,00,000

Week Two - 23,14,00,000

Day 15 - 60,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 1,03,76,00,000

The third Friday has seen a drop of over 80% and this drop makes it tough for the film to reach 110 crore nett. The film has done well enough but has not really gone through with collections after the first week.
