[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Hera Pheri ended with the trio of Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Baburao (Paresh Rawal) rich and rolling in money. Phir Hera Pheri tells the story of what happens after they become rich.

The three men are living large in a massive bungalow and splasing out on various luxuries. Raju hears about an idea of doubling his wealth from a con woman (Bipasha Basu) claiming to be a bank manager and convinces Shyam and Baburao to go along with it. They also convince a goon on the street to contribute Rs. 20 lakhs so that they can come up with the minimum deposit of Rs. 1 crore in order to double their money. Raju also sells the bungalow to contribute to the Rs. 1 crore.

They invest Rs. 1 crore. Three weeks later Raju, Shyam and Baburao find out that it was all a scam and become penniless. The goon is also in trouble because he had borrowed money from a dreaded gangster who suffers from lisp, Tiwari (Sharat Saxena), who will kill him if he doesn't pay up. Raju, Shyam and Baburao now have three days to come up with money to pay back the goon or else they will be eliminated. Suddenly Raju comes up with a brilliant idea and the trio embark on another hilarious journey to make money.
