About Phir Hera Pheri
Phir Hera Pheri (2006) is the follow-up to the cult classic Hera Pheri (2000). Directed by Neeraj Vora, the movie follows in the riotous misadventures of Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and the irrepressible Babu Rao Ganpatrao Apte (Paresh Rawal).

Their greed-ridden choices take them on a ride of laugh-a-minute mayhem, misunderstandings, and hilarious one-liners.
The movie is renowned for its dialogue at its best, Paresh Rawal's unforgettable act as Babu Rao, and laugh-out-loud scenes that have remained fans' favourites. With time, Phir Hera Pheri gained cult status, with dialogue and scenes turning into popular memes and also references in popular culture.
