HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD 'Phir Hera Pheri' rocks UK box office17th June 2006 11.30 IST By Agencies Bollywood’s last Friday’s release Phir Hera Pheri is faring very well at the UK box office. The overseas success of the film marks yet another dream run for Akshay Kumar , whose movies like Garam Masala , Dosti - Friends Forever and Humko Deewana Kar Gaye have done good business in the UK. 
A sequel to Priyadarshan's laugh riot Hera-Pheri , the Neeraj Vora-directed 'Phir Hera Pheri' stars Akshay along with Paresh Rawal and Sunil Shetty . The film figured at number eight in the UK box office charts in its opening week with collections of 125,366 UK pounds (Rs 87 lakh) from just 36 cinema screens, ahead of the Hollywood film 'Mission Impossible III' and Kunal Kohli's Fanaa . What is more, the film, which opened to a stupendous response all over India following its release on June 9, had the second highest per screen average of 3,482 UK pounds (Rs 2.5 lakh) in the UK among the top ten, ahead of films like 'X-Men: The Last Stand', 'The Da Vinci Code', 'Poseidon', 'RV' and 'Mission: Impossible III'. Trade observers say the brand of comedy in 'Phir Hera Pheri' has had audiences "laughing all their way to the aisles". Akshay and Paresh Rawal’s brilliant comic timing had earlier fetched excellent collections for 'Garam Masala' and Deewane Hue Paagal , both of which proved to be hits in the United Kingdom. In fact, critics say that Akshay, along with the inimitable Paresh Rawal, is the soul of 'Phir Hera Pheri', which also stars Bipasha Basu and Rimi Sen . That the strong showing of the film in the UK is largely due to the immense draw that Akshay Kumar has come to enjoy in the overseas territories is evident from the fact that the other comedy release of the week, Priyadarshan 's Chup Chup Ke had collections far lower compared to 'Phir Hera Pheri'.
