Hera Ma Nono - Extra Golden

Hera Pheri-One hell of a film!

Advantages: Performances,dialogues
Disadvantages: None

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.

Extras with extras

Disadvantages: none

Review of Extras - The Collection (DVD)

Hera Pheri(2000)(Hindi Movie)

Advantages: Excellent Story
Disadvantages: Role of Sunil Shetty should have been more comedy

Hera Pheri has a good cast comprising of Paresh Rawal,Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty.The trio has different behaviours and characters.In this movie they are people living in a poor neighbourhood and one day get a call from a kidnapper due to the print mistakes in the telephone directory.The kidnappers intention is to call a rich industrialist but he doesn't realise that the call has gone to the trio.The story that unfolds thereafter is very well thought of by the director. Due to this film Akshay Kumar got worldwide fame and praise for his acting talents.Recently it was reported that he got Rs 71 crore for acting in three films which is a huge amountof money.Keep on going Akki!! Paresh Rawal also amuses the audience with his great speaking style and dumb behaviour. ...
