Hera Pheri vs. Phir Hera Pheri

Why is Hera Pheri considered to be better than Phir Hera Pheri? Aside from the fact that Phir Hera Pheri is copied from 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', I have found it much more enjoyable from my teenage years till date. I find myself revisiting PHP more than HP. Just checked on the internet, Hera Pheri is also copied from a Malayalam film 'Ramji Rao Speaking' which in turn is copied from some American movie. While HP is rated 8.2 now and PHP 7.3, earlier, around 7-8 years ago, PHP was rated 5 or 6 on IMDb. Is there something I'm missing? Is HP more 'cinema' than PHP? Is there some deep meaning in HP?
