Another Bond film I recall viewing as a minor. Starts out as a murdered British agent and a Fabergé egg. Clearly one of Moore's best roles and had elements of a typical Bond film with the luscious ladies, humor, gadgets and sufficient action. India is the setting where the action takes place, score was decent and dialoge not as cheesy. Octopussy is a Bond movie everybody can enjoy aside for a few minor flaws, still definitely better than some of Moore's involvement.
