phir hera pheri is a rollicking, funny, fantastic comedy that, however, has two flaws – it is too long, and the humour gets overblown in certain sequences.
Raju, Shyam and Baburao, the three unique characters are back at their race for the riches. But, did they not become rich at the end of ‘Hera Pheri’? Yes, but more money is always welcome. But then again, the greed for more and more can land one back to the footpath.
Hats off to Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar once again for their exceptional comic sense. Paresh Rawal, as the myopic, bespectacled, slouching, and overtly honest Baburao is simply brilliant. Akshay Kumar, as the notorious, clever, cunning Raju stands in equal stead. Sunil Shetty, as the simple and gullible Shyam, does a fine job. Sunil looks particularly hilarious while mimicking the stammering don (Sharat Saxena).
Rimi Sen and Bipasha Basu don’t have much footage.
‘Phir Hera Pheri’ is definitely worth one watch. The movie’s strength is comedy and particularly its witty dialogues. It is evident that Neeraj Vora has put his heart and soul into the film.
