If your a bollywood freak and don't mind watching old films of 1980s i think you should check it out. Main teri dushman, dushman tu mera, i loved her in that song as well as all the other songs on her in the movie. She can dance and look beautiful at same time.
Sushma i think played Rishi's mom in many films but her acting talent is shown as a mom in this one. Rishi Kapoor looks gorgeous and acts well. I don't know if its a remake or whatever but i love the film. The acting, the dances, the eyes, the costumes are just amazing. I am not a fan of her but whenever i watch this film or Himmatwala i just love her. I adore Sridevi and she looks beautiful as ever. (Cast also includes Prem Chopra and Guddi Maruti.) On a side note: If you have ophidiophobia, don't watch this movie! I am not terrified of them, just moderately afraid, and I had snakes dreams three nights in a row afterwards.Ī beautiful film with excellent performances by Sridevi, the snakes, Amrish Puri, Rishi Kapoor and Sushma Seth.
#Me nagin tu nagina song movie#
Overall, this creepy movie is highly entertaining. The songs and choreography were, while not exceptional, solid. The makeup was convincing, as well, from death pallor to turquoise eyes. (Though I will confess to some concern over the welfare of said serpents.) The costumes are good, with Sridevi's being extravagantly beautiful. The actors are polished and believable, with the snakes being impressively controlled. The plot is riveting, with many unexpected twists. They don't know that Rajni is harboring a dreadful secret, until the sage Bhairon Nath (Amrish Puri) reveals it. He finally persuades his mother (Sushma Seth) to agree to the marriage. Rajiv (Rishi Kapoor) returns home from studying abroad and encounters and falls in love with a mysterious woman, Rajni (played by the incomparable beauty, Sridevi). One I tremendously enjoyed as a child, one that I still enjoy today. Though it has its flaws, 'Nagina' is a gem from the 1980's commercial Hindi cinema. Amrish Puri is great as the over-the-top evil Bhairon Nath. Sushma Seth is good as the mother and Rishi Kapoor and Prem Chopra are adequate. Whether it's as the mistress of the house who lives a double life, the concerned daughter-in-law, the protective wife or the tormented snakewoman, Sridevi pulls it off with ease and elegance. Clearly, 'Nagina' belongs to the magnificent Sridevi. It is also well known for Sridevi's energetic performance as she sets the floor on fire with the most famous 'snake dance' on screen. 'Main Teri Dushman' is one song that lingers and it is shot quite brilliantly with Amrish Puri's snake charmer tormenting Sridevi's 'Rajni'.
The background score is very annoying and the songs (with the exception of the last one) are terrible. Malhotra maintains the suspense and surprise element very well. Sridevi is first portrayed as a bubbly village belle but as the plot unfolds, actress slowly peels each layer of her character, catching one by surprise but in a very believable way. I like how Malhotra sets the tone and lets the events unfold, keeping the viewers engaged. Note that this is an 80's movie (when commercial Hindi films were at their lowest but 'Nagina' shines and manages to stay above). One snakewoman is mentioned then it is Sridevi's 'Nagina' that comes to mind.
Who remembers a Rekha or a Reena Roy in such an avatar. Many famous Indian actresses, like Reena Roy and Rekha, have been witnessed to play snakewoman on screen but none of them have reached the proportion that Sridevi has with 'Nagina'. It finally went to Sridevi as, one would know after watching the film, 'Nagina' was only meant for her. Harmesh Malhotra struggled a lot to find a leading lady for this mythological yet modernized fantasy thriller but all these actresses, not willing to take the risk, turned down the part. For me, 'Nagina' is one of the few very enjoyable Hindi films of the 80s.
