There have been many talks about films inflating numbers. In last few years, the assumptions have only increased. But it's business as usual at the box office with Housefull 4 keeping the Diwali fireworks alive at the theatres. After a lower than expectation opening, the film has only peaked and now it stands at a massive Rs 141.31 crore. It may not be the highest first week for this year but it gets a place right up there just after Bharat.
