Bollywood’s beloved comedy franchise Housefull is back with its fifth installment, and the first song release — “The Phoogdi Dance” — is already creating waves. The high-energy number dropped by the makers is a colorful celebration of culture, chaos, and comedy, with veteran actor Nana Patekar leading the charge in a surprising dance avatar.
Nana Patekar Brings Folk to the Forefront
In the 2-minute-7-second music video, Nana Patekar introduces the traditional Fugdi dance from Maharashtra’s Konkan region to the star-studded cast of Housefull 5. Known for his intense acting, Nana steals the spotlight with his energetic moves, guiding stars like Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, and more through the rhythmic steps of this folk dance.
Also featuring in the song are Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, and Shreyas Talpade, making it a true ensemble spectacle.
A Blend of Beats and Laughter
Choreographed by Adil Shaikh, the song fuses traditional Fugdi patterns with modern dance elements, delivering a vibrant and engaging routine. The music is penned and sung by Kratex, who also collaborates with Tanishk Bagchi on the composition. Adding an urban edge is rapper Patya The Doc, whose rap interlude seamlessly complements the festive vibe.
As the song unfolds, we’re treated to a surprise twist — Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt dancing inside a cell, keeping the quirky tone alive. The video wraps up with a classic Housefull-style sequence of hilarious mishaps.
A Glimpse Into Housefull 5
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 is scheduled to hit theatres on June 6, 2025. This time, the franchise spices up its comedy with a dose of mystery — the story unfolds aboard a luxury cruise where a billionaire’s death sparks a string of comical events.
With a staggering lineup and an innovative narrative twist, Housefull 5 aims to push the boundaries of Bollywood comedy.
