Author: silvan-desouza from India

Mr.India is a great fantasy film though you have all the clichés and larger then life villains yet the way the film is handled is superb

Anil's scenes with the kids are admirable while the Anu- Sridevi scenes are funny

The Amrish Puri angle is well handled though superficial

While the Mr.India part is the best part

they are several laugh riot moments with a rather cheesy end but fun

Direction by Shekhar Kapur is fantastic Music is good

Anil Kapoor excels in his part initially offered to Bachchan he is superb Sridevi suits her part and acts well Amrish Puri hams it up as his most memorable role ever but his character works largely cos of his hammy act rest are good the kids Jugal,Aftab, Karannath and Ahmed Khan are great
