Hera Pheri is certainly Priyadarshan's finest hindi film and is certainly one of the best comedies to come out from india. This is a great example of how a film can still work big time despite having a simple and thin plot,thanks to its characters and fantastic dialogues.
The basic plot is simple.One day,Babu rao gets a misplaced call from a man who says he has kidnapped his grandchild and wants ransom money.WHen Baburao and his two tenants realise its a misplaced call,they make whole use of it by calling the real person and pretending as the kidnappers.
In the whole mix of earning the extra money,they are ready to go to any extent and the twists and turns in the script follows a funny and joyful ride.The characterisation of the three principal characters are fabulous and somewhat deep considering its a comedy.The comedy is slapstick and mostly depends on the improvisation and execution of the actors.
Paresh Rawal is in top form here and delivers a knockout performance in a role of a lifetime.He is bound to make you laugh out aloud throughout the film with his brilliant portrayal.Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty are also fantastic and its fantastic to such two actors working in tandem so well.
The film ends with a typical Priyadarshan messy situation,with all the characters being present.This is one film you will remember all your life,with a great repeat value!
