To complicate matters further, Jai and Jolly's girlfriends, Payal (played by Jacqueline Fernandez) and JLo (played by Zarine Khan), are friends and they have a common enemy in the form of Bobby (played by John Abraham), who is out to seek revenge from all of them.

Ritesh Deshmukh, as always, is a laugh riot with his impeccable comic timing. John Abraham's performance as the antagonist reiterates his versatility as an actor. Jacqueline Fernandez, Zarine Khan, Shazahn Padamsee, and Asin Thottumkal all play their parts well.
The music of Housefull 2, by Sajid-Wajid and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, is catchy and adds to the fun quotient of the film. The song "Anarkali Disco Chali" became an instant hit and is still a popular dance number.
