Some films never get aged, Mr India is one of them The film is set on a simple premise but the way it's handled it's superb The last film of Salim-Javed together, they had split after Shakti but returned to write this film. The film also was one of the first films of Anil-Sridevi The film starts off well, the scenes amongst the kids, the problems Arun faces, the entire Mogambo part which seems an extension of SJ's own SHAAN(1980).There are several great scenes like Sridevi spoofing Charlie Chaplin, the fight scene when Sridevi is kidnapped, The Annu Kapoor scene and the climax though a bit lengthy and similar to SHAAN(1980) yet it's good

Direction by Shekhar Kapur is great Music by LP is amazing, Zindagi Ki Yehi Reet is my fav song sung by Kishore Kumar, I Love You, Karte Hai Hum Pyaar and other gems are really wonderful

Anil Kapoor in a role supposed to be done by Big B is simply lovable and suits it to the T, he also wears just 1 costume throughout Sridevi is amazing in her role, her pairing with Anil is simply magical Amongst child artists, Aftab, Karan Nath, Ahmed Khan and all are amazing Amrish Puri is simply terrific in a role only he could play, what with those expressions and the booming baritone, he is fab,Annu Kapoor is simply class in the role of a troubled editor Sharat Saxena, Bob Christo, Ajit Vachnani,Harish Patel and rest are good too
