Have you seen "East is East" (with Om Puri as the lead role)?
A Must see. Truly one of the finest actors.

Om puri OR Om Shiv Puri?
Just adding some extra info
Om Shiv Puri is the guy who played Villian in Don. He also played major roles in Namak Haram & Mausam. He is the father of Ritu Shivpuri ("Aankhein" fame). He passed away few years ago.
I do not think he is related anyway to Amrish Puri
BTW, I am doubtful if Amrish Puri and Om Puri are brothers

You're right. My mistake. The Timesofindia says Om Shiv Puri, not Om Puri.

I stand corrected too. I was always under the impression that (Om Puri and Amrish Puri) were bros. Can't remember why.

Very sad. I regard Amrishpuri as a great actor. BTW, for all CD members info Amrishpuri did not have any connection with Om Puri and Om ShivPuri. He was younger brother of Madan puri. He had one more brother Chaman Puri, who also acted in a few films. I do not remember name of those films. He worked in Labor Ministry.
Yes, Om Shiv Puri was father of ritu Ship Puri (Aankhe). His wife Sudha Shiv Puri was an announcer on Radio and had acted some of the films.
His younger brother (Himanshu Shivpuri) also acted in some films. Himanshu's wife is Himani Shiv Puri who is doing well in films and has acted in many films. This family comes from Jodhpur in Rajasthan.
