Boney Kapoor, older brother of Anil Kapoor and future husband of Sri Devi made several movies pairing Sri Devi and Anil Kapoor together. Mr. India, which Amitabh Bachchan declined to play the lead when it was offered initially to him, gone through several rewrites by Salim-Javed team. In the original screenplay, there was no part of Amrish Puri's character. The final screenplay introduced Mogambo character that was played by Amrish Puri. By this time Amtabh's popularity was on the waning side as a bankable hero, and Boney Kapoor decided to cast Anil Kapoor opposite Sri Devi.
This movie has some good songs. My personal favorite is the duet very sensuously sung by Alisha Chinoy and Kishore Kumar "Kaate Nahin Kat Te." The movie was a massive hit when it was released.
Details of Mr. India and its songs are given in the table below followed by the actual songs:
