While I was excited to watch Mr India, it being a very rare superhero film in India, I was apprehensive about how it would hold up. I have watched many famous 1980's movies which I haven't liked at all.
I loved this movie. It stays mostly true to its own logic and the characters act in believable ways. It's not perfect and there are plotholes you can point out, but nothing so big that it ruins your enjoyment.
Amrish Puri was perfect as the villain. He brought the right amount of camp to the role. I did think the movie could have been shorter. At least a few scenes in the first half could have been cut in my opinion.
I wish this had spurred other film-makers to make superhero movies based on Indian books and comics, but that didn't happen.
Overall, I liked this movie a lot.
