The hugely popular Hera Pheri franchise has become the 29th highest-grossing film series in the Indian film industry. The plot – featuring Baburao, Raju and Shyam in lead roles – is hilarious enough to build a strong audience for the series in the years since its release.
The first installment in the series, Hera Pheri, released in theatres back in 2000. Directed by Priyadarshan, this comedy picture introduces the lead characters and the chaos they are fully capable of unleashing.
The second part released in 2006 on the big screen. During this time, the lead characters – Baburao, Raju and Shyam – had gained unprecedented financial stability. But things start to turn South as Raju stumbles upon a scam that boasts of doubling your money in 21 days.
Is Priyadarshan hinting at ‘Hera Pheri 3’ on his birthday
Prolific filmmaker Priyadarshan is celebrating his birthday on January 30. Superstar Akshay Kumar – behind the hit character Raju in the Hera Pheri franchise – put out a heartfelt post today. The duo is currently shooting for a horror-comedy ‘Bhooth Bangla’.
In a shocking but immensely exciting turn of events, Priyadarshan hinted at getting back to the director’s seat for ‘Hera Pheri 3’. This is nothing less than music to our ears, right? Rumours about ‘Hera Pheri 3 have been floating around for some time lately.
But there had not been any official confirmation. The filmmaker’s statement on social media is going viral for all the right reasons. Priyadarshan is capable of making chaos look like a masterpiece, just like Kumar described him in his post today.
Hera Pheri series: Is a cliffhanger ending pointing at Part 3?
If ‘Hera Pheri 3‘ comes to the big screens, it shall represent Kumar and Priyadarshan’s fifth collaboration – after Hera Pheri (2000), Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), Bhagam Bhag (2006) and Khatta Meetha (2010). Fans can’t keep calm.
In the last segment of ‘Hera Pheri’, the mysterious Devi Prasad comes to the trio’s rescue. He saves Baburao, Raju and Shyam, helping them go back home. They also get to keep the money. The second installment ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ starts from this part.
You can find the lead characters rich and almost rolling in money. They are living a king’s life and splurging on different kinds of luxuries. But their greed gets the better of them and the trio lose the money instantly. It’s a complete disaster.
But the bitter part isn’t just the loss of the money or their huge mansion. Raju, in order to arrange the minimum Rs1 crore for deposit, has got some cash from a small-time goon, Pappu. Since Pappu has lost his share too, he tricks the trio into something bad.
Cutting the story short – to let you revisit the plot for the nth time – the characters end up in a circus and try to get hold of some diamonds. Raju gets his hands on three antique guns, too. The film ends in a cliffhanger and a third part is our ultimate demand.
