Phir Hera Pheri (2006)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sadly Over-hyped

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I have to say, the first Hera Pheri was hilarious and probably one of the best Hindi comedy films ever. But Phir Hera Pheri really doesn't live up to that.A lot of the jokes were lame and somewhat immature, and there was a lot of extreme overacting at parts. Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever weren't really at their full potential of comedy, and honestly they got annoying.The story was a ripoff. The performances were decent. Paresh Rawal once again did the best, he really saved this movie. Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty were average. They both were good in parts however. Rimi Sen and Bipasha Basu are nothing. They were just there to attract people. However, here and there there were some scenes that reminded you of the prequel. The music was bad. Since this film was released at around the time Himesh began to sing and act himself, the music is mainly Himesh singing himself and that was painful to hear.Overall, this movie had high expectations, but mainly disappointed. I'd rate it an overall 5 out of 10.

In Bollywood, Sequels were not successes earlier, From Nigahein(1989) which was a sequel of Naagin(1986), Hathyar(Vaastav) were all failures. But PHP was the first success which was followed by Krissh, Dhoom 2, LRMB.etc Hera Pheri wasn't a hit when released in 2000, but it got a cult status which slowly made Priyadarshan a successful name. The film was a remake of malyalam film Ramji Rao Speaking. This time, Neeraj Vohra directed the film, retaining the same male cast, but this time they copied Lost Stock and 2 Smokin Barrels. When Hera Pheri had released Akshay was struggling to prove himself as an actor/star while Suneil too was moving out from his action hero image. In fact the film hardly gathered buzz that time but slowly after repeated viewings on TV and DVDS it got cult status. But when PHP released Akshay had become a comedy king, so hence his dominance in the script, in the original Suneil had a more important role then him but in this, Akshay dominates from frame 1 to 10 perhaps because Neeraj worked with him before in Khiladi 420. The original was a situational comedy but PHP is turned into a slapstick fare where actors make faces, stupid comic scenes The first scene itself is an indicator that this time the film is more for the front benchers. Some scenes are funny like the swimming pool scene, the scene when Akshay dupes Rajpal but after a point of time, it gets tiring with the same gags and lengthy. Worst of all is the director adds lot more then he can chew, so many subplots which get tiring after a while. By the time the film ends it gets tedious, the ending in the circus is not funny but very lame.Direction by Neeraj Vohra is below par, he relies a lot on slapstick Music by HR is okay, those days HR as a singer had debutted Hindi Cinema, Most films featured him in music videos whenever he composed and sung, here too he sings plenty of songs luckily he doesn't make an appearance though, Kitne Armaan is the best track while Ae Meri Zohrajabeen is funAkshay Kumar had started getting repetitive with his same type of comic act, here he overdoes it terribly in some scenes too, Perhaps he lacked a good director this time, but yet he does shine in several scenes Paresh Rawal however goes completely over the top, his comic act as Baburao in the original was superb as it was deadpan here however he goes loud and makes funny faces and hence he doesn't work here Suneil Shetty gets lesser scope and isn't in form this time, he doesn't even get enough scope to act unlike in the original. Amongst the heroines Both are dubbed, Rimii Sen is as usual, Bipasha is okay Sharat Saxena is loud, Ravi Kissan is as usual, Rajpal Yadav is typecast, Manoj Joshi and others are hardly worth mentioning.

You would have seen Hera Pheri, liked it a lot and then looked forward with happiness when you heard about Phir Hera Pheri. its only when you actually see the movie that you realize how bad it is.the comedy is too goofy and slapstick with nothing as hilarious as the original HP. the only funny dialogues are those that are repeated from the Hera Pheri. the worst thing is that the story line is a complete rip-off of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". the story is absolutely the same except that it has been Indianised (with Bipasha basu providing the glamor) and goofy so-called comedy replacing the action from LS & TSB. The ending sequence is a cut-to-cut copy of the original English movie. the climax setting in the circus and the free-for-all fight sequences are meant only for those with an IQ less than 75.all in all, reminds us that even the original Hera Pheri was a rip-off of a Tamil movie released in the 90s.

This movie was a decently directed movie in the sense that it makes you laugh most of the times it was meant to, but no one can take over Priyadarshan. Certain scenes and dialogs were not funny at all like the ones when Babu Rao talks about his telephone in the beginning and when he comes to take the money in his chaul house to not believe it really is his home, also when Raju peeks into Johny Lever's apartment through the picture and several such scenes. Priyadarshan never includes lame comedy scenes or dialogs in his movies. Yet, the climax was a very Priyadarshan style where the comedy goes long into several groups fighting with each other like in Hera Pheri (part 1). Moreover, certain scenes and dialogs were repetitive. For instance, the two tall black villains added no substance what-so-ever and the Rs.1000 scene with Raju and his girl was over done the first time and thereon had the same concept repeating in subsequent scenes. Since most people only count the times they laugh to judge a comedy movie, I would say it's a great laughter movie and every couple of minutes, you find yourself either laughing or smiling. So if you haven't yet, go watch it!
