Part of

Hera Pheri Collection

Hera Pheri: Hera Pheri is a comedy of errors and a 'master plan' gone horribly wrong. Phir Hera Pheri: Babu Rao, Raju and Shyam, are living happily after having risen from rags to riches. Still, money brings the joy of riches and with it the greed to make more money - and so, with a don as an unknowing investor, Raju initiates a new game.
