Get ready to double the madness and triple the laughs, because the fifth installment of the much-loved Golmaal franchise is officially taking a surprising new turn. Directed by Rohit Shetty, Golmaal 5 is set to explore the fantasy-comedy genre and, for the first time ever, will feature a female villain—adding a fresh twist to the iconic laughter riot.
The Golmaal franchise began its journey in 2006 with Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, instantly becoming a fan favourite for its slapstick humour and unforgettable characters. Riding on its success, Rohit Shetty delivered Golmaal Returns in 2008, followed by Golmaal 3 in 2010. After a long gap, Golmaal Again released in 2017, proving that audiences still couldn’t get enough of the franchise’s trademark chaos.
Fronted by Ajay Devgn, the Golmaal series revolves around a group of mischievous and mostly aimless friends who somehow always land themselves in the most absurd situations imaginable. Gopal, played by Devgn, leads the madness along with Madhav (Arshad Warsi), Laxman—portrayed over the years by Shreyas Talpade, Sharman Joshi, and Kunal Khemmu—and the mute but expressive Lucky, played by Tusshar Kapoor.
What sets Golmaal 5 apart is its fantasy element, a bold move that could take the franchise’s humour to a whole new level. While earlier films flirted with supernatural themes, this installment is expected to fully embrace fantasy, blending visual spectacle with the franchise’s signature slapstick comedy. The addition of a female antagonist is also being seen as a refreshing change that could add an exciting dynamic to the storyline.
With Rohit Shetty at the helm and Ajay Devgn leading the ensemble, expectations are already sky-high. Fans are eager to see how the familiar characters navigate a fantasy-driven world while maintaining the goofy charm that has made Golmaal one of Bollywood’s most successful comedy franchises.
While more details about the cast and release date are still under wraps, one thing is certain—Golmaal 5 aims to raise the bar on entertainment. Bigger laughs, crazier situations, and a brand-new twist promise to make this installment another crowd-pleaser for fans old and new.
