Movie Story

Phir Hera Pheri, directed by Neeraj Vora, continues the hilarious legacy of Hera Pheri with returning icons Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Sunil Shetty), and Baburao “Babu Bhaiya” (Paresh Rawal). Having stumbled into riches, the trio now live large but dream even bigger. When a mysterious “bank manager” Anuradha (Bipasha Basu) promises to double their money, Raju convinces everyone to invest all their wealth, even borrowing from the dreaded gangster Tiwari (Sharat Saxena). Their plan fails spectacularly they’re conned, left penniless, and now owe a terrifying debt.​

What follows is a rollercoaster of comic misadventures, fake suitcases, mistaken identities, drugs swapped for cash, diamond heists, and epic chases through Mumbai and a circus!
