Sajid Nadiadwala's famous comedy franchise Housefull awaits the release of its fourth instalment. Audiences are looking forward to this Farhad Samji directorial ahead of Diwali. The Bala challenge craze has already caught on among franchise followers. The long wait will finally end for Akshay Kumar's multi-starrer Housefull 4, which is all set to hit the theatres this Friday on October 25. Its trailer has got a big thumbs up from the fans. The buzz around the film suggests that is undoubtedly one of the highly anticipated films of the year. Despite enjoying the pre-Diwali weekend, Housefull 4 clashes with two Bollywood outings each, Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar's Saand Ki Aankh and Rajkummar Rao and Mouni Roy's Made In China. Housefull 4 Motion Poster: Rana Daggubati’s Baddie Goes from Being a Wicked Warrior to Pappu Rangeela in This Reincarnation Comedy (Watch Video)

Housefull 4 also clashes with a big Hollywood release The Current War that stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison and Nicholas Hoult as Nikola Tesla. Well, Housefull 4 clearly has an added advantage at the box-office with the brand value it has from the previous hit instalments. The distributors would surely play safe in providing Housefull 4 with maximum screens across India. A big concern for the makers would be South releases Vijay’s Bigil and Karthi’s Kaithi releasing on Oct 25 as well which would give this Akshay Kumar multi-starrer a run for its money down south.

Budget

Housefull 4 is made on an estimated budget of Rs 150 crores including print and advertising cost. Which means the film needs to enter the Rs 200 crores club.

Box-office prediction

With solid promotions lined up for the entire Housefull 4 team (the entire cast showing up in The Kapil Sharma Show) the film's buzz is already evident. Not to forget the Bala Challenge that is going viral. With such a hype, we predict Housefull 4 to be the highest-grossing instalment from the franchise. Following the big Diwali release and getting 4000 plus releases, Housefull 4 is predicted to do an opening day business of around Rs 45 - 50 crores easily. The Akshay Kumar film would easily touch the Rs 150 crores mark in the opening weekend itself.
