It has been over three and a half decades since Anil Kapoor and late actress Sridevi's iconic film Mr India hit theatres and went on to create history in Bollywood. Mr India not only became the second-highest grossing film of that time but also continued to remain a crowd-puller, thanks to the legendary characters played by Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, and Amrish Puri as Mogambo. With that said, it has been 36 years since the film was released and it wouldn't be wrong to say that its songs and dialogues are still fan favourites.
