Likely to Stream in July
Initially, the OTT premiere was expected to take place in August this year. However, new updates suggest that Housefull 5 could start streaming as early as the first week of July. This sudden change in the digital release timeline is reportedly due to the mixed response the film has received at the box office.
Why the Early OTT Release?
Expectations were high from the film, but it seems to have fallen short for many viewers. As a result, the makers are considering an earlier digital release to attract a wider audience online. However, there is no official confirmation yet from the filmmakers or Amazon Prime Video regarding the OTT release date.
