OTT Hit, Theatrical Flop: Star Getting Brainwashed

After the OTT release of historical drama “Kesari Chapter 2”, Akshay Kumar has found himself again on the hand of the critics , this time for his decision to return to the comedy genre with “Housefull 5”.

While “Kesari Chapter 2” was appreciated for its patriotic tone and emotional weight, “Housefull 5” has left fans wondering why the actor is dragging the franchise so much.

Audiences admired “Kesari Chapter 2” for bringing back the actor’s serious side, the one we have seen in movies like “Special 26”.

With the announcement of another installment in the Housefull franchise, critics are saying that after a solid performance in a period drama, moving to a comedy filled with recycled jokes feels like taking a step back.

What bothers viewers is not just the shift in genre, but the fact that an actor like Akshay Kumar who is capable of delivering movies like “Kesari Chapter 2” is dragging this slapstick comedy franchise so much.

Is Akshay Kumar running after box office numbers, or is he unsure of his own filmography?
