Re: Amrish Puri Dies

His best memorable role was in Muskerahat as justice Samdhani,,,simply awesome.
And a unique movie at that.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Me too Khaw!! I didn’t know they were bros!! :eek:

He was the mean little dad of Kajol in DDLJ and Mogambo in Mr. India - gosh he was evil with those glaring eyes!! And yep totally freaky in Indiana Jones.

May his soul rest in peace.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Hmmm.

His role as Mogambo in Mr. India was really legendary.

Khair, may he rest in peace.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Oh shush. Even today hearing the line Puri uttered “Mogambo khush hua” makes thousands laugh. He was a great actor.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

you’re right. It’s none of my damn business. I just found it interesting that people are crying over a guy who CHOSE to portray pakis in a bad light in all those movies. But I shouldn’t have hijacked your thread. Won’t hear from me again unless someone decides to reply to my post again. :slight_smile:

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

I see your point Atlanta bhai and I don't know his politics. He was a good actor tis all

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Which were those movies?

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Atlanta even muslim actors often choose to potray pakistan as the bad guy. If they can do it, why can't he. Plus ofcourse all things aside, its MOVIE!! :)

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

R.I.P :flower1:

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

hero to name one. I KNOW there were others but can’t remember all the titles or whatnot. Can someone help me.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

He was a great actor indeed. 'Mogambo khush hua' has to be one of the most popular lines ever said on a big screen.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

He was in Ram Lakhan. :(

He always played the villain so well.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

He was a great actor and it's such a huge loss.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

In many films he played a good Muslim role. He was in Richard Attenborough Gandhi where he played a Muslim leader supporting Gandhi in South Africa.

Afterall it is a role, and he played the role best.

Roshan Seth an Indian actor cursed Indian in Hollywood film “Vertical Limit” as a Pakistani army person, so does that mean he is Anti-Indian?

He acting abilities have been reported in all major world newspapers. Check for the tributes from Iran, Afghanistan to US, UK on the BBC website.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Some of his best films would be

Bhumika
Virasaat
Mr. India
Pardes
DDLJ
Hum Paanch
Chachi 420

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

call us kuttay, shalay, haram-khor, mullah wife beaters in countless films and than turn around and do a film where he is a “good muslim.” Oh yeah, that makes up for all the other films. Movie role or not. I have a hard time wishing the guy nothing but the burning flames of hell when he calls me kuttay.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

This is hilarious. Pakistanis know more about Bollywood than Indians themselves. Listing crappy films which the whole world would diss, and talking so enthusiastically about a person who should be a total non-entity for us. Sigh.

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

Boy, you have a sharp tongue. I have never seen all these countless films. Can you select from the list http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0700869/

Re: Amrish Puri Dies

I second your views, Atlanta. Some folks are a little too much into the trash they throw our way from across the border.
