Best scenes from Anil Kapoor's Mr India

The wrong number scene

Mr. India is not just a fantastic superhero film but it also has several hilarious comedy scenes. Alongside Anil Kapoor, the film also stars Sridevi as the female lead. In the film, Sridevi works for a newspaper whose editor-in-chief is an erratic and over the top character.

Moreover, the editor constantly receives calls from wrong numbers. The way he responds to the calls is always hilarious, as he gets more exasperated each time he picks up a wrong number call. However, these random calls also help Sridevi track down the villains in the film.
