"Mr India" is a beloved 1987 superhero film directed by Shekhar Kapur and produced by Boney Kapoor and Surinder Kapoor. It stars Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, and Amrish Puri, and tells the captivating story of Arun Verma, a virtuous violinist and philanthropist who acquires a cloaking device that bestows upon him the gift of invisibility. His encounter with journalist Seema Sohni (Sridevi) and his battle against the villainous Mogambo (Puri) added layers of excitement and intrigue to the plot.
