Sequel Success

Let me say the truth. Yes I was slightly disappointed with this movie. Though it is still Hera Pheri, the same characters, Shyam, the guy who always smells trouble, and the stupid Baburao Wapte, it isn't the same any more. Hera Pheri stressed on the common problems of the poorer class people of India. There was a lot of character development in the prequel, the three characters bonded with each other. Whereas this movie is basically a spin off for Raju(Akshay Kumar) and some nice comic relief from Baburao Wapte(Paresh Rawal). Shayam(Sunil Shetty) has basically no part to play. Also the number of characters in the movie makes it a lot complicated. Hera Pheri was simple with a few basic characters, whereas Phir Hera Pheri sends the audience on a cat and dog chase. This becomes terribly boring at times, and only Paresh Rawal shines through with his impeccable ability to play the fool. He lets you rolling with peals of laughter. The songs are decent, Bipasha Basu and Rimii Sen does a good job as the co stars to this movie. And it was a nice cliffhanger of an ending keeping the people pondering whether there will be yet another sequel to this or not ...

It should have been rated a lowly 5-6.. But only due to Paresh Rawal, it gets a 7... That man just gets better with each movie he makes. His ability to make you laugh is just impeccable.

7/10 !!!! Chalate jao Paresh ji !!!
