Reachout's Review of "HeraPheri" 

Starring: Akshay , Pareshrawal, Sunil Shetty, Tabu Direction: Priya Darshan

Every now and then there comes a movie which can be totally an average script with average actors but will go on to make good money just because of one actor. Hera Pheri is running full just because of the genius acting of Paresh Rawal. His sudden jerks with a high sight glasses and the way he delivered the dialogues were incredible. This man is a genius who does not stick to fame and image and keep saying the same dialog.........."Jaani......"

The movie starts with Shyam, Sunil Shetty trying to fill himself up in his father's (late) job position. He meets Raju, Akshay (Akki) Kumar and Babu Rao, Paresh Rawal. The three have same problem...........to earn money for their respective families and friends. Akki and Sunil try to pull each others leg through out the movie. "Gol maal hai bhai sab gol maal hai". Sunil loses his job which was almost in his pocket. Thanks to Akki, he helps Tabu. She is a low class lady who runs her house and takes care of her mentally retarded mother. The movie has necessary sentimental flashbacks which were not shown but only told (Phew! Good work by the director). 

Babu Rao, Shyam and Raju get an excellent opportunity to earn money in big way and they grab it with both hands and legs. Gulshan Grover kidnaps Kulbhushan Karbanda's (KK) grand daughter. But Gulshan calls Paresh Rawal as the number is wrongly displayed in the telephone directory. The three realise the Golmaal and play a trick to get KK's grand daughter and also earn money. Ooopar walah de tha hai tho....

This movie though has Sunil, Akki, Tabu, Mukesh Khanna , KK and many, only one person has stole the show and only one person acted as if the rest were just kids. Paresh Rawal's slang language in Marathi and also in Hindi were really a treat to watch. Although the script is not that good, Paresh made a movie out of it. Priya Darshan is saved. Reachout Rates it good.
