The film was released in two versions, titled Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B, each featuring a different climax and murderer.[35][36] Devesh Sharma stated that she adds to the "glamour quotient", but has nothing to do in the film.[37] A commercial success, it emerged as one of the highest grossing film of the year.[38] Following this, she played a bar dancer in Baaghi 4 opposite Tiger Shroff.[39] Shachi Chaturvedi stated, "Sonam enters with some promise, but her character never gets the space to grow.
