New Delhi . Golmaal 5, the fifth film of Rohit Shetty's famous comedy franchise Golmaal, is now going to be released in theaters on January 8, 2027. Old actors like Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu and Sharman Joshi will be seen in the film along with Ajay Devgn. This time Akshay Kumar has also entered the film. Complete information regarding his role has not been revealed yet.
The release date of Golmaal 5 is in the news because usually films with big budgets and popular franchises are tried to release around festivals or long holidays. The reason behind this is that the number of viewers in theaters may increase during holidays. However, the date of January 8 has been chosen for this film, which is being considered a strategic decision.
The schedule of big films of December and January is important to understand the release timing of the film. Shahrukh Khan's film King is going to be released on 24th December. In such a situation, Golmaal 5 will get a gap of about two weeks after that. This creates scope to avoid a direct clash between the two films and attract the audience towards Golmaal 5 after the release of the second film.
Gujarat's connection is also said to be important in this release strategy. Makar Sankranti will be celebrated in Gujarat on January 14 and a long weekend is likely to fall around it. In such a situation, after its release on January 8, Golmaal 5 may get time to establish itself in theaters for several days before the festival.
The old association between Gujarat and Golmaal franchise also makes this strategy special. The first part of Golmaal was released in 2006 and its story was based on Gujarati drama. This play was written by Neeraj Vora. After the popularity of the film, Golmaal franchise created its own identity in Hindi cinema.
Rohit Shetty did not choose the release date of January 14 because Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Love and War is going to be released next week on January 21. In such a situation, Golmaal 5 can get relatively free time of about two weeks from 8th January till 21st January. This period may have been crucial for the film's initial release.
The Golmaal franchise began in 2006. After this, Golmaal Returns was released in 2008, Golmaal 3 in 2010 and Golmaal Again in 2017. In these films, old characters were shown in different situations along with comedy. Now from the fifth film, the audience is again expected to see a new story with the same team.
There is also discussion about the story of Golmaal 5. Tamil Nadu's number is visible on the bike shown in the motion poster of the film. From this it is being speculated that this time the story may be related to South India. However, official details of the story have not been revealed yet. Different claims have also been made in the reports regarding the role of Akshay Kumar. In such a situation, the actual story of the film and the role of the characters will be revealed closer to the release.
