Episode 7: Hera Pheri

Release date: 2000

In this week’s episode, we go back two decades in time to discuss one of Bollywood’s top comedy films ‘Hera Pheri’.

This movie is a remake of the 1989 Malayalam film Ramji Rao Speaking which was inspired by the 1971 film See the Man Run. The cast had Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, Suneil Shetty, Tabu, Om Puri, Mukesh Khanna, Khulbhushan Kharbanda, and Gulshan Grover. The film was directed by Priyadarshan who is a renowned filmmaker in Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi film industries. Hera Pheri had an average run at its theatre release but went on to garner a cult following when it was released on cable TV channels later.

Paresh Rawal’s character ‘Baburao Ganpat Apte’ became an iconic character in the history of Bollywood and had the best lines in the movie laced with sarcasm and humor. He had a clean sweep in awards show that year capturing the best comic actor awards at Filmfare, Screen, and IIFA awards. Here Pheri dialogues have also given birth to some of the most popular memes on social media.

Minal watched it a year after its release on TV while Benny watched it only recently for this episode and they both had quite a few thoughts about whether the movie retains its comic charm even after two decades. Tune in to the episode to find out.

Synopsis:

Raju (Akshay Kumar) and Shyam (Suneil Shetty) are 2 unemployed young men in debt and renting a room in the house of Baburao Ganpat Apte (Paresh Rawal). Baburao owns Star Garage but is also in severe debt with his creditors. A wrong number to his garage’s landline results in the 3 getting involved in a kidnapping plot to make some quick bucks. The chaos that ensues forms the second half of the film.
