Vidya tweeted: "Kamra... Kamre ke aage balcony... balcony ke aage garden... garden ke aage samandar... Watching the encyclopedia of acting... Sridevi."

"Yes, we love you Mr. India. Anil Kapoor is all heart... makes you believe in goodness and innocence... so genuine," she added.

Vidya also praised the film's director Shekhar Kapur.

She wrote: "Shekhar Kapur directs children the best... au naturelle! I just realised two of my all-time favourite films are his... 'Mr.India' and 'Masoom'."
