Why it's in the canon
Paresh Rawal's Baburao is the most meme-immortal character in Indian film history.
Three broke tenants get a wrong-number ransom call and decide to collect it themselves. Everything goes wrong, repeatedly.
Hera Pheri sits in the 2000s alongside Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai — a decade this canon treats as formative.
