Priyan B Worth watching comedy movie. Rating: 7/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Parth P Throughout my childhood, I only thought this movie was just a comedy movie. It's not when I watched it recently. Today this movie is not just a random comedy movie. This movie story got the depth in emotions for middle class people having big dreams. When Raju dailog says that he can do anything for money, anything! There I got hit. Basically there are 3 main characters through which the story plot has been placed. Shyam, Raju and Babu bhaiya. I especially appreciate Paresh Rawal's performance. We can catch every face expression he made in every situation even though he wore big glasses. The best part where we enjoy is bickering between Raju and Shyam. In the first half, there are the best scenes in which they make us laugh a lot. The second part gets some serious in one issue but our laugh doesn't stop. Yes these trio got a classic bond ever with supporting characters played Tabu and Om Puri got another bond with us in the movie. It will make you laugh and emotional at the time you finish the movie. So my conclusion is to go watch this movie. It's a basic middle class people's story with added lots of humour and presenting to us. It's a really classic movie which is appreciated throughout the time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Nexus S Masterpiece!!! Landmark & Milestone for Indian comedy films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Shrazey Cult Comedy Classic!!! The best comedy film ever made!!! There are no flaws. Just enjoy the sparkles created by priyadarshan with the legendary cast included!! Our khiladi akshay kumar, Sunil shetty and legendary comedian paresh rawal as baburao. No matter how many times you rewatch it's just not enough. The amazing story carries you with the funniest comedy by all. Heard there is a sequel coming out as the third instalment let's hope it doesn't break the momentum and carries all parts together. Overall legendary film must watch for every single cinema lover who follows Bollywood or any other respected film industry. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review yash b "Hera Pheri" is a pretty funny movie that mostly works once the main storyline actually kicks in. Until that point in the movie, I personally felt I was waiting for something more interesting to happen. However, the movie is constantly fun because the three characters are consistently saying funny things and finding themselves in humorous scenarios. It's a fun Bollywood comedy that is entertaining and aware that it is meant to be pretty silly. Like most good Bollywood movies, I enjoyed all of the musical numbers, but I felt there is one near the end that disrupts the flow of the movie and feels out of place. Despite some flaws here and there, the movie is a pretty funny comedy with very solid characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Look, I am a simple man. I see Akshay Kumar in a 2000s Bollywood comedy film, I watch it. And I'd blame this film for my obsession. And I'm like 99% sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Hera Pheri was something completely new for its time. Bollywood comedy-of-errors were not very common back in the days. And even if they were they'd rarely be good. So rare that we can practically name them (let's try - Golmaal, Andaz Apna Apna. That's it, I did it). Hera Pheri comes from a time when we were not used to this kind of a humour. After a complete decade of mindless slapsticks by Govinda, this seemed like something that was completely driven by the comic timing, phenomenal acting, the setting and the story. If any of these elements was missing this film would have also crumbled down like the later comedy movies of Akshay Kumar. What exactly makes this film special are the characters, their relatable behaviour and the situation they got in. Raju, Shyam and Baburao have now become household names. The character of Kabira has also become something staple with bad guys on phones. Amrish Puri chasing Shyam for returning his money so that he could have his sister's wedding was a very well done runnig joke. And finally the ending scene was also very satisfying. Overall there was a great performance by all the actors. I think I have heard this movie is going to get a third part with John Abraham. I'd absolutely not want that. Replacing Akshay Kumar with John Abraham will surely ruin the franchise (like Welcome and Welcome Back). I'd prefer that both of them should stay, if the planned sequel is actually very good. But otherwise a duology is perfect. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
