Amrish Lal Puri (June 22, 1932 – January 12, 2005) was an iconic Indian actor who appeared primarily in negative roles in Hindi movies.
His most remembered roles are Mogambo in Mr India (1987) and Mola Ram in the Hollywood film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984).
He played character roles and was well-known as a villain. His striking bass voice, the ability to extend his eyes widely out of their eyelids during climactic scenes and outsize acting style made him a convincing villain in even the most melodramatic movies.
