Ishq: Aamir Khan's 'ram ram' scene is perhaps the most well preserved memory from the movie (1997) but you also cannot ignore what an amazing performance was delivered by Amrapurkar as Ajay Devgan's 'overly attached' father.

Sadak: Mahesh Bhatt's 1991 movie Sadak is often quoted as Amrapurkar's biggest success in Bollywood. He played Maharani, an eunuch and evil owner of a brothel.
