Puri was a leading light in India's parallel cinema that defined the '70s and '80s, when commercial cinema hit many lows. A truly versatile actor, he played everything from an alcoholic taxi driver and an angry cop to the oppressed poor and a Shakespearean witch.

His most memorable films included Ardh Satya, Sadgati, Paar, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Maachisand Tamas. And his unforgettable cameo in Sir Richard Attenborough's Oscar-winning film Gandhi (1982) is the stuff of legends.

His trysts were not restricted to Indian cinema only. Puri starred in the hit British comedy East is East (1999)and the drama film My Son the Fanatic (1997). And in Hollywood, he appeared in films such as City of Joy(1992), Wolf (1994) and more recently, The Hundred-Foot Journey(2014).
