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.

While Anil Kapoor was undoubtedly brilliant as Mr. India, many fans claim that it was the villain of the film who truly stole the show. Amrish Puri as Mogambo is still considered to be one of the most iconic villains from the Hindi film industry.

Amrish Puri's classic acting was perfect for a superhero setting and his evil demeanour was intimidating all through. He was also the perfect antagonist for Anil Kapoor's Mr. India. Moreover, Amrish Puri also delivered one of his most popular lines, "Mogambo Khush Hua," in this film.
