Hera-Pheri
is a story of laughter and perhaps a tear…..it's a story about innocent desires and
desperate moves. Shyam (Sunil Shetty) comes to town from his village, expecting to get an
appointment letter from the bank, where his father was an employee, before he died, in a
fire accident. As a compensation, six months back, the bank had promised Shyam to give a
job but he is still awaiting an appointment. Bank Manager tells him that the difficulty is
Anuradha Panikar (Tabu). Her father also died in the same fire accident and she claims to
be a right candidate for the job. Shyam, who's already into some major debts, decides to
fight out for his right, so he has to stay in town.

and deep down in debts, but with a heart of gold. There is a paying guest who is already

He is lied to his mother, whom he is kept in ashram, in the same city, that he is a very

bank authorities but when he sees the
condition of Anuradha's house he withdraws, as her condition seems to be more pitiable
with her ailing mother.
But a threat call... a wrong number...which accidentaly comes, shows them a way achieve
few lakhs. Kabira (Gulshan Grover) a known criminal, has kidnapped the granddaughter of a
big industrialist and he demands a ransom on a wrong number by mistake i.e, Baby Rao's
phone. The trio decides to play a game. They pose as the industrialist to Kabira and
promise to pay the ransom money. They call up the industrialist and pose as Kabira and
demand double of the ransom, from the industrialist. They become the middlemen to earn few
lakhs. But unexpecteadly when the police gets involved in the case, the whole plan turns
risky, their first attempt fails and then, these rather simple beings, dare to make a
second attempt. Forced by their respective compulsions and need for money, they do make
the second attempt and succeed....
But only to get ditched by Raju...who runs away with the ransom money? What happens to the
expectations, desires and dreams of these innocent yet desperate threesome is the story of
Hera-Pheri.
