It’s been 13 years since Housefull 2 hit the big screen, and while the film had a star-studded cast and non-stop chaos, one man stood out with his hilarious antics—Boman Irani as Batuk Patel!
The actor-director brought the perfect mix of drama, flair, and comic genius to the role of the over-the-top, money-obsessed father. With his quirky expressions, unbeatable timing, and that signature swagger, Boman turned Batuk Patel into an unforgettable character who still lives rent-free in our heads.
As we celebrate over a decade of madness, here’s a throwback to 5 times Boman Irani absolutely owned the screen in Housefull 2:
1. The Overdramatic Daddy Mode
Batuk Patel wasn’t just a protective dad—he was extra. His obsession with finding a millionaire son-in-law led to some of the film’s funniest moments, packed with over-the-top meltdowns and dramatic declarations.
2. Comic Duel with Rishi Kapoor
The rivalry between Batuk Patel and Chintu Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor) was iconic. Their nonstop bickering, one-upping each other, and loud confrontations gave us comedy gold—and Boman was in top form throughout!
3. Trapped in the ‘Jolly’ Mayhem
With four Jollys running around (John, Akshay, Riteish, and Shreyas), Batuk was hopelessly confused—and it was hilarious. Boman’s bewildered expressions and perfect comic timing made the whole identity mix-up even more entertaining.
4. That Rich Dad Swagger
From flashy suits to a “money talks” attitude, Batuk Patel was all about appearances. Boman carried the character with flair, making us laugh with every smug smirk and stylish strut.
5. The Climax Chaos
The film’s final sequence was total madness, with everyone chasing everyone. Amid the mayhem, Boman’s panic-driven humor, priceless reactions, and punchy lines added the perfect comic touch to the grand finale.
