"Based on the plot summaries I'd read, I wasn't too interested in Hera Pheri, but then I read all these glowing reviews on here and decided to go for it. Unfortunately, I wish I hadn't.
I've been told that the humor is excellent... if you're from India, or more specifically, Mumbai. I guess the jokes are really, really specific. I didn't laugh once, and usually I can find the humor in anything.
Not only was I disappointed by the film, but the subtitling suddenly disappears about halfway through and doesn't show up again until about 20 minutes later. Actually... I think I enjoyed the un-subtitled part the most because I made up my own dialog."
