Mogambo- From his over-the-top gold outfit, to the way he punished his men (which included feeding them to pet crocodiles), everything about Amrish Puri's character in Shekhar Kapur's ‘Mr. India’ was loud, and we loved it! He thundering delivery of the dialogue "Mugambo Khush Hua" in his trademark baritone has made the line one of cinema’s most memorable ever!

CM Balraj Chauhan - Amrish Puri played the role of a corrupt chief minister Balraj Chauhan in the film Nayak; the egoistic CM who is worried only about securing his CM's seat. The film's highlight is the interview in which the CM asks the reporter played by Anil Kapoor to take his place as the CM for a day. His devil like performance makes it unforgettable.

Kishorilal - Amrish Puri is the NRI businessman in ‘Pardes’, who comes to India looking for a bride for his 'westernised' son. This was one of the few positive roles played by Puri, who is otherwise famous for playing the bad guy. The song 'I Love My India' from the film that was picturised on him and dapper suited look won him many fans.

Thakur Durjan Singh - Amrish Puri plays the role of the evil brother-in-law to Durga (Rakhee), who kills her sons Karan and Arjun. Though they are eventually reborn as Ajay and Vijay and exact their bloody revenge, the memory of Amrish as the vicious Thakur is hard to forget.

Chaudhury Baldev Singh - Puri plays Kajol's conservative father in Aditya Chopra's blockbuster ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’. His eventual change of heart in the film’s climax turns him from villain to hero in the blink of an eye.
