VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Jacomedi A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
sanjay-26251 Very awesome comic timing . a amazing movie by all actor
Takethispunch Raju (Akshay Kumar) is a tenant of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte a.k.a. Babu Bhaiyya (Paresh Rawal) and has not paid his rent for a long time. Raju does not believe in hard work and wants to earn easy money. He cons everybody, even his mother (Sulabha Arya), who thinks that her son works in Calcutta. Baburao, a bespectacled long-sighted man, runs the "Star Garage". He has a familial debt with many money-lenders and has hard time with them.Shyam a.k.a. Ghanshyam (Sunil Shetty) has come to Mumbai from Gurgaon seeking a job in his late father's bank. Apparently his father died in a fire that broke out in the bank and he claims that the bank owes him the job. He badly needs the money for his friend Khadak Singh's (Om Puri) sister's marriage. A young woman, Anuradha Panniker (Tabu), is also in the running for the job, her father having died two minutes after Shyam's. Shyam meets Raju and a misunderstanding causes Shyam to think that Raju is a pickpocket. A fight ensues between the two, and Raju escapes, leaving his wallet with Shyam. After Raju leaves, Shyam discovers that he had his own wallet on him all the time. Unfortunately, this realisation comes just as Raju returns with two policemen, insisting that Shyam has robbed him.Later that evening, Shyam reaches Star Garage. Baburao agrees to take him in as a paying boarder, although he warns Shyam that he will have to share the place with another boarder and will have to help with the household chores. Unfortunately for Shyam, the other boarder is Raju, who has not paid Baburao a single penny of rent in the last two years. The two men come to blows again the minute they see each other. Raju vociferously objects to Shyam's presence and threatens to move out. Baburao is nonplussed by Raju's indignation and calls his bluff. Eventually, Raju backs down, claiming that he's only staying because he owes Baburao and he hates to leave debts. The two men are constantly at each other's throats, and poor Baburao often ends up suffering the physical consequences of their conflict.
wajeehkhan01 This movie is very hilarious and entertaining! It has great dialogue, great comic sequences, great entertainment and action, and great performances, most notably Paresh Rawal. He has immortalized the character of Baburao as one of the most remembered Bollywood characters of all-time. He is excellent and hilarious, and his timing is great. Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty do great as well, and they also did great comedy. Tabu was sort of wasted in her short role however. The script is great and iconic; so many of the dialogues like "Kaun Devi Prasad?" have become famous and remembered. Honestly, the only thing that threw me off was the music; it wasn't too good; only "Jab Bhi Koi Haseena" stood out. The direction was also pretty good; this film is what gave Priyadarshan a big name. But besides that, if your'e looking for a great time, this film gives you that for sure.
Avishek Chowdhury I don't watch Hindi movies that much. But hera pheri is something different. This is the best mainstream comedy and probably the best mainstream commercial movie except the songs. I see a lot of world movies and I don't find many Indian mainstream movies that can be compared to world standard. Hera pheri is exception. This is best comedy can get. Awesome story, perfect acting and moreover the comedy is based on situation as well as dialogue based. Priyadarshan tried to come up with the same quality with some other comedies later but never came up with anything near to hera pheri. Only problem with the movie is the songs which doesn't fit at all with the story. Still its one of the best comedies i have ever seen, undoubtedly the best Indian comedy.
