Mr. India

I am yet to see a movie which has Sci-Fi, Comedy, Romance, Music, Action, Drama and Patriotism in it. This film excels in every department. Anil Kapoor and Sridevi are great in their parts. Amrish Puri has an unforgettable role as Mogambo.

THIS ONE IS A MUST WATCH. THE BEST OF BOLLYWOOD.

This Classic from the eighties is one of the few sci fi films to be produced in India incidentally it is also one of the best. Directed by shekhar kapur of "Elizabeth" fame Mr India is one of his earlier works. The cinematography may not be great but the rest sure is! An interesting and intelligent story that makes for full on family entertainment. This movie will make you smile laugh and cry and bring out all the other various emotions in you. Sridevi players the bubbly cheerful news reporter and Anil kapoor the Super Hero who upon discovering the invisibility formula sets out to avenge the worlds evils. Aka Mogambo played by the greatest villain ever to grace the Indian screen Amrish puri. His mogambo still strikes terror into the hearts of kids. Anil Kapoor & Sridevi's relationship is more of a homage to the Louis lane Clark Kent type relationship seen in several superhero movies. The rain and wind dance number by sridevi. could easily give the new crop of actresses a run for their money. brilliantly acted and executed her dance with the invisible man is simply unforgettable and who can forget her cheeky "hava hawi" number. you can watch this film time and time again and not get bored. The special effects may be basic but the story and acting are just brilliant. directors and actors of today take a note. Its not just about the visuall appearance. its also about soul that films of today lack which this film is full of. watch it and be truly entertained one of my definite favourites...

"Mugambo Kush Hua (Mugambo is pleased," is the famous line that was repeated several times by the late Amrish Puri in this 1980's classic movie. The movie stars Anil Kapoor as "Mr India," who can turn invisible when he needs to fight against the villain, Mugambo, but has to be very careful of "red light" at all times, Sri Devi as journalist who believes that Mr India exists and tries to find him, Satish Kaushik, as Anil Kapoor's friend "Calendar," who helps him to look after a bunch of orphaned children, one of which is none other than Aftab Shivdasani, now a Bollywood heartthrob. The movie itself is a science fiction, which was first for its type from Bollywood and what has made it even more memorable was the special effects used by the director, Boney Kapoor. The songs and the music are also very memorable and especially: "Hum Karte Hai Pyar Mr. India Se (I Love Mr India), "Hawa Hawaii," and not to mention the seductive song by the late Kishore Kumar, "I Love You," which enabled him to receive a film fare award for the best song.

Conclusion: Excellent movie which can be enjoyed with your family. Watchout for the re - make of this movie.

In the fast growing world of Indian cinema, it's hard to find a good, family movie. Thankfully, Mr. India fitted and continues to fit this category with great humor, romance, and is overall the only good Indian movie I've seen. It's funny and doesn't include submissive women, hostile violence but is made for the entire family and is definitely worth watching. And, it has English subtitles =)

This movie was a firm childhood favourite of mine and it still hasn't lost its magic. This was the movie that sent Anil Kapoor into stardom and the pairing of Anil Kapoor and Sridevi was used in other movies. The scripting was absolutely perfect, the songs were brilliant (my favourite was Hawaa Hawaii) and add to a mammoth budget and you have a bollywood classic.

This is essentially a kids film, which is a market rarely catered to in Bollywood. Amrish Puri gave the performance of a lifetime( who can forget his Mogambo Khush Hus dialogue). There are many other memorable characters, like for instance Sridevi's boss or Mogambo's henchman Goga and Daga. This movie ranks amongst other Salim Javed's best work, for instance Sholay and Shaan. Tremendous fun from start to finish.
