For the 100th episode of 'Has It Aged Well?' Abbas and Urjita are joined by comedian Sahil Shah to talk about one of the most successful comedy sequels made in Hindi cinema: 'Phir Hera Pheri' directed by Neeraj Vohra starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Bipasha Basu, Johnny Lever, Raima Sen, Rajpal Yadav, Sharat Saxena, Ravi Kishan, Suresh Menon and the who's who of comedians.

Topics discussed include: Why Sahil loves the sequel more than the OG Hera Pheri, the tremendous influence of this film on the Indian meme culture, some characters which *may* come across as culturally insensitive but can we still laugh at them?, Lord Himesh's banging soundtrack, and stick around for a hilarious pun laden slip of tongue by Urjita and Sahil's love for the cult B-movie 'Gunda'.
