Find me a more iconic Bollywood baddie than Amrish Puri, I’ll wait. I know, nobody comes to mind, right? Throughout the 80s and 90s, Amrish Puri was pretty much a staple in the average masala Hindi movie. While audiences remember him as the villainous, but weirdly fashionable villain from Mr. India and the grumpy ol’ dad from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge, towards the end of his career, Puri appeared in many affable roles. Sadly, the actor died in early 2005, leaving behind a remarkable void in Bollywood. Here are some of the best dialogues of Amrish Puri to jog you through the memory lanes:
