My friends turn to <em>Hera Pheri<\/em>, the heist comedy that informed our childhoods. But there are other signifiers \u2013 depending on what age you are, nothing breaks the tension in India like a \u201cTeja main hoon, mark idhar hai\u201d or \u201cEngliss is a very phunny language.\u201d Bollywood, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/worldcup-cricket-rigged-indias-fan-care\/\">cricket<\/a>, remains an uplifting uniter of the masses, especially in times of grave despair.\n\nBack in March 2000, Priyadarshan gave us our generation\u2019s greatest uplifter: <em>Hera Pheri<\/em>, the mad-cap comedy that would eventually become a cult classic and arguably the funniest film to come out of Bollywood in recent years. The film\u2019s now-iconic comedic trio of Baburao, Raju, and Ghanshyam were essayed superbly by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/paresh-rawal-arundhanti-roy-twitter-hera-pheri\/\">Paresh Rawal<\/a>, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty respectively. Back then though, the actors playing Baburao and Raju were not as vocal about their political views on Twitter and Suniel Shetty wasn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/niralishah\/what-is-happening\">being thirsted on by the internet.<\/a> Simpler times. The film was further bolstered with a supporting cast that included bonafide scene-stealers like Tabu, Om Puri, Asrani, Gulshan Grover, and Kulbushan Kharbanda. But what the cast or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/15-years-of-hulchul-priyadarshan-akshay-kumar-hera-pheri\/\">Priyadarshan<\/a> himself could never have foreseen was the impact the film would leave on desi pop culture, even 20 years later.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>At a time when the world cherishes laughter the most, it is films like <em>Hera Pheri<\/em>  that serve their purpose: providing much-needed relief from reality.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nIf you haven\u2019t seen <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> yet, the film\u2019s logline is pretty straightforward: Three down-on-their-luck, yet good-natured bachelors try to make quick money by inserting themselves into a seedy kidnapping scheme. However, most people only recall <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> as a bunch of guffaw-worthy skits; the narrative is secondary. The first half is a number of hysterical sequences of Raju and Shyam trying to one-up each other at the expense of Baburao\u2019s property and personal health. And in the second half the three of them screw up kidnapping 101, one hilarious gag at a time. It really doesn\u2019t require you to pay attention to the plot because its one-liners are what keep you rolling in your seats. Maybe that\u2019s why the film has aged perfectly for the meme generation with our ten-second attention span and voracious appetites for instant punch-lines.\n\nCountless sequences and dialogues from <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> have gone on to become part of contemporary lexicon and often serve as ice-breakers at parties. There are innumerable scenes from the 20-year old film that are still being used as popular meme formats. In fact, both <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> and its sequel <em>Phir Hera Pheri<\/em> are perhaps two of the most memed films of all time. Whether it\u2019s \u201cAurat ka chakkar\u201d, \u201cZor zor se bol ke sab ko scheme bataa de\u201d or \u201cYeh baburao ka style hai\u201d, most quote-worthy dialogues from <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> have been weaponised by memelords into sound commentary on current happenings.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61461\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1585629734.png\" alt=\"ss\" width=\"486\" height=\"407\" \/>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-61462\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1585629731.png\" alt=\"ss\" width=\"565\" height=\"407\" \/>\n\nWhile there will be naysayers, I believe the sequel wasn\u2019t nearly as impactful as the first film. Hera Pheri was the kind of film that the neighborhood kids reminded each other about, if it came on cable TV. Its impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/features\/restless-and-proud-why-millennials-continue-to-chase-newness\/\">young millennials<\/a> growing up in the 2000s was immense. In school, we\u2019d compete over who could do the best Baburao Apte impression. We legit rehearsed our \u201cwoh toh main mast tel mein fry kar ke kha gaya\u201d to get it to sound as close to the original as possible. I have friends who still call helmet, \u201chamlet\u201d and a colleague claims to have duped countless society watchmen by filling \u201cKabeera\u201d followed by \u201c28881212\u201d or \u201cteen takley one two one two\u201d in their visitor guest books.\n\nThough I highly doubt the legitimacy of that last one, there\u2019s no denying that <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> has etched its place in modern-day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/how-the-middle-class-makes-love\/\">middle-class<\/a> India\u2019s hearts. And right now, at a time when the world cherishes laughter the most, it is films like <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> that serve their purpose: providing much-needed relief from reality.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>That\u2019s the power of a good Bollywood comedy right there \u2013 it lightens and uplifts moods.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nLike a lot of my fellow countrymen in lockdown, my mum has spent a majority of the past few days yearning for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/not-just-ramayana-heres-12-more-classic-dd-shows-wed-like-to-see-brought-back-on-air\/\">light-hearted distractions<\/a> from the horrors COVID-19 is inflicting on the world. In a bid to relive her childhood memories, attached to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/happy-birthday-paaji-dharmendra-is-like-your-grandpa-on-instagram\/\">youthful Dharmendra<\/a> and his quirky portrayal of Dr Parimal Tripathi, she\u2019s been spending her afternoons re-watching <em>Chupke Chupke<\/em> (1975). It makes the moroseness of the news easier to deal with, she claims.\n\nAnd I imagine a lot of millennial Indians are probably rewatching <em>Hera Pheri<\/em> for the same reason. In today\u2019s day and age, <em>Hera Pheri<\/em>\u2019s second half wouldn\u2019t exist only because Truecaller would immediately tell you the difference between Star Garage and Star Fisheries. But each generation needs a Baburao Ganpatrao Apte or a Dr Parimal Tripathi to make dissociating from death and despair a little easier. Because even though sanitisers can help kill the germs on your hands, it\u2019s nostalgia that helps cleanse the mind.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In these dark times, my friends and I turn to Hera Pheri, the heist comedy that informed our childhoods.
