Yeah…great movie, the cast is rather amazing and not to talk about the atmosphere surrounding the film, quite phenomenal; couldn’t put it better myself.
It is a delicious mix of patriotism, comedy, science fiction, romance and adventure. Being a big fan of science fiction movies I’ve seen relatively impressive CGI or special effects in life.

Even though this movie didn't or doesn't have any kind of inconceivable special effects it doesn't make it a bad movie, not at all...well, not for me.
Because at the time I saw it I didn't have any expectations from it, I don't exactly remember when I saw it, nevertheless one thing is for sure, this must have been one of my first science fiction movies, making it one of my best childhood movies.

I admit to a certain sentimentality regarding 'MR. INDIA'. This big-hearted and entertaining opus imaginatively parodied a medley of Bombay and Western hits;
including, in the latter case, James Bond thrillers, Superman, Disneyesque fantasies like Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, and, of course, The Invisible Man.
At the same time it also presented one of the most interesting Indian villains I've ever seen, and also one of the weirdest characters of all time: Mogambo.
This Megalomaniac Mogambo (Amrish Puri), who sports Napoleonic curls and an outfit suggestive of a Latin American dictator dressed by David Bowie lives on a secret island and conjures up bizarre plans for world domination, one of which includes a lever and a button (Does this sound familiar?). Like many a villain before him, he has a trademark line that accompanies evil tidings: "Mogambo khush hua!" (Remember that? Sure you do)

Well, I could definitely go on and on about this movie for lines to come or perhaps even pages.
However I choose not to, so my finale comment is, incase you haven’t seen this movie...GO watch it.
