    One Minute silence for those who gave this masterpiece one star

    Oh God how can anyone give Hera Pheri one star. God damn it, they have not enough sense of humor to crack Jokes of this film.

    See some nonsense foreigners are saying worse Indian movie ever. Dear bro & sis, If you really want to enjoy Hera Pheri learn Hindi first. Unlike other Indian film subtitle can't give Justice Hera Pheri. Surely they have ruined humor of dialogues.

    Don't be oversmart to those who have given 1* to this film

    I have watched more than 100 times still don't get bore by hera pheri. It's the best comedy film of all time. Must watch.

    A great Comedy movie

    Wow, This is what I call a great comedy in 2-3 hours, it will make you laugh as you are suppose to laugh. Great acting by Paresh Rawal will make you feel that he is the best for the role given to him and he did justice with what has been given to him. Sunil Shetty and Akshay Kumar has done there part very good, but I think the crown for the movie goes to Paresh Rawal.

    A good movie, with good story and excellent comedy. Its a must watch for people who like to enjoy there spare time.

    Best

    The movie that defined comedy in hindi cinema, a too good remake of an already good Ramji rao speaking!

    Fun all the way!!!

    Priyadarshan has a habit of making either extremely boring movies or extremely colourful ones, and I am happy to say that this is one of his finer efforts. This movie is a fun ride from start to finish. The characters are well projected and have a solid background, but more importantly the storyline is well written without flaws, which makes this clean comedy. Bravo Priyadarshan!!!

    PS:Never thought someone would give a leading role to Paresh Rawal

    I give it a 9/10

    • Trivia
      Sanjay Dutt had to leave the film because he had to attend court everyday and only could do night scenes. He told Firoz Nadiawala that after completing Kartoos (1999) he could not do any film for a short period, so he suggested that Sunil Shetty should take his place in the film.
    • Goofs
      Paresh Rawal's phone is shown red in some scenes while in some scenes it's black.
