Mogambo is not pleased, but he is mildly satisfied
TAHALKA
The lines between good and evil in Bollywood movies tend to be pretty broadly drawn, but never so broadly, it seems, as when the great Amrish Puri was cast as the villain. Deep of the voice, wild of the eye, and massive of the brow, Puri, though a versatile actor who played many diverse roles in his four decade career, truly made his mark with his portrayals of over-the-top bad guys in countless Bollywood action and masala movies. (And yes, yes, I know…as Mola Ram in that Indiana Jones movie. Give it a rest, for chrissakes!) Many of these portrayals were iconic, but–while Puri would star in nearly four hundred films by the time of his death in 2005–there is one film for which he is remembered most of all.
Tahalka, however, is not that film.
