a weekly column highlighting great moments in indian cinema.
and corny as hell.
so here's my first contribution - MR INDIA!
straight away - hundreds of asians are sayin Mogambo Kush hua!
its the infamous line that the main villain - Mogambo played by Amrish Puri
The story is that a scientist invents a watch allowing a person to disappear - later he is killed but he hides the watch. later through fateful circumstances his son is able to retreive the watch and decides to use it for the greater good, whilst at the same time looking after a group of orphans. yeah i did say corny.
Enter mr mogambo and he wants that for-moo-la for his world domination and destruction of india and its upto our hero and the damsel in distress Sri-Devi to save the day!
its a very basic james bond/supervillain story line but its effects are still there.
alot of villains in bollywood try to mimic mogambo. shekar kapur went on to make elizabeth, elizabeth the golden age and the forthcoming New york, I love you.
One of the many films with indians doing blackface.
well worth a watch if your up for some laughs!
