It was 32 years ago when Anil Kapoor and Sridevi had spread their magic on screen with Shekhar Kapur's Mr. India. Getting nostalgic about completing 32 years, director Shekhar shared on Wednesday that the film refuses to age. Anil, on the other hand, said he wanted to dedicate its 32nd anniversary to the late Bollywood action director Veeru Devgan who was the action director of the film. Fun fact - Bollywood actor and Veeru Ji's son Ajay Devgn was an assistant director in the film. Mr. India is the story of a poor man (Anil) who gives shelter to orphans. After discovering his scientist father's invisibility device, he fights to save his children and all of India from the clutches of a villain Mogambo -- an unforgettable portrayal by late actor Amrish Puri.
It’s 32 years old today and still refuses to age and we so agree. Even after 32 years of its release, the film is so, so loved.
#MrIndia was made iconic by its children friendly action scenes & Veeru’s Midas touch. I want to dedicate its 32nd anniversary to the man who made these unforgettable moments possible. #VeeruDevgan was an amazing man & I'm lucky to have worked with him. He is sorely missed... pic.twitter.com/jdw1w6ULtI

There are several reasons why the film has never failed to impress anyone so here we are, presenting 5 top most reasons why Mr. India has been the most iconic film in Bollywood.
SRIDEVI'S AND ANIL KAPOOR'S EPIC JODI
No one can forget Sridevi’s and Anil Kapoor’s iconic jodi and impeccable chemisty.
THE KIDS
The orphan kids in the film were the lifeline of Mr. India. Their charm and gentle aura made the film what it is.
UNFORGETTABLE MOGAMBO
Mogambo khush hua? Of course!
INVISIBILITY DEVICE
Mr. India was one of its kind as it was the first time when the invisibility concept was seen in the Hindi cinema.
THE SONGS, OH MY GOD
From Kaate Nahi Katate Ye Din Ye Raat to Hawa Hawaii, the songs were literally the lifeline of the film and we all agree.
Shekhar Kapur managed to make a film back in 1987 which was way ahead of its time and film had done phenomenally well. But now, with everyone expecting a sequel to the film, Shekhar has made it very clear that there can never be a Mr. India 2 without Sridevi.
