Ajay Devgn-Akshay Kumar’s ‘Golmaal 5’ Locks January 8, 2027 Release
"Golmaal 5" is set to arrive in cinemas on January 8, 2027. The release date for Rohit Shetty’s fifth instalment in the "Golmaal" franchise was announced on Saturday, with the makers promising another round of chaos when the comedy series returns to the big screen.
The film reunites Ajay Devgn with the franchise’s returning ensemble, including Arshad Warsi, Kunal Kemmu, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi. Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari and Ashwini Kalsekar are also part of the cast.
"Golmaal 5" marks the franchise’s return nearly a decade after "Golmaal Again", which released in 2017. The series began with "Golmaal: Fun Unlimited" in 2006, followed by "Golmaal Returns" in 2008, "Golmaal 3" in 2010 and "Golmaal Again" in 2017.
