Priyadarshan’s HERA PHERI released in 2000, is now considered among the most famous and appreciated comedy movies of Bollywood all over. But continuing his routine of making remakes, this Priyadarshan film is also not an original creation of the director and its inspiration source has links to a lesser known film by another renowned director of Hindi Cinema, Basu Chatterjee.

Though Priyadarshan based his HERA PHERI on the Malayalam Hit film “RAMJI RAO SPEAKING” (1989) and simply followed the pattern and sequences used by its original creative director duo Lal Siddique (as an official remake).

But in reality the idea of confusion between the actual kidnappers and the people demanding the ransom money was first seen in a movie released in 1979 titled “DO LADKE DONO KADKE” written and directed by Basu Chatterjee. Surprisingly, the story of this box office failure also revolved around two unemployed friends played by Amol Palekar and Asrani who try to take advantage of a kidnapping plan made by some other professional criminals. The unpopular film from the repertoire of the well-known director had story by Robi Ghosh, music by the veteran Hemant Kumar and lyrics by Yogesh.

However, another interesting twist in the tale remains that none of the above mentioned movies was an original effort and they all actually used the innovative idea of an American T.V. Film with the title “SEE THE MAN RUN” made in the year 1971. May be, Basu Chatterjee was the first person to discover this amusing plot originally written for the English flick, that was later adapted with changes for his film in 1979 or perhaps it was a coincidence that the writers in two different parts of the world wrote their individual stories on an almost similar plot.
