Absolutely the worst movie.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

I lived in French speaking West Africa, and I had seen Kabir Bedi in Sandokan on TV. The story was some folklore from rural India about a creature similar to "Cat People", but instead of turning into panthers after making love, these mythological beings shape-shift into cobras (or was it pythons?). Anyway a hunting party shoots what they believe is a dangerous snake; however the female mate swears vengence and like some incredibly beautiful and exotic Charles Bronson, has a three step plan to eliminate each of the hunters. Step one; romance them, step two; make them suffer; then step three; kill them. This film had problems of logic and pacing, but, oh my shape-shifting demi-Goddess, she brings the most beautiful woman to life. Rekha, Reena Roy were among the most fascinating stars in Bollywood heaven. Too many scenes were shot with jumpy cameras, in the dark, feebly adding suspence and scariness; as the vixen reveals her plan to kill each hunter, on their own turf. Poor quality filmwork, but terrific and engaging songs. I saw the flim three times.

This movie is Bollywood to the n-th degree. Those not acclimated to Indian films, with their 2 1/2 hour-plus running times and obligatory musical numbers need not fear. NAGIN is all about keeping the audience entertained at any cost! For a '70's film, the color is deeply saturated, the story is action-packed and involving, and the cheesy special effects are somehow funny AND scary. The plot involves a snake woman who sets out to kill the group responsible for the death of her lover. She can change appearance at will and assumes the guise of various Hindustani hotties to lure the men to their assorted dooms. You'd have to be pretty uptight to not enjoy this film and find yourself, perhaps to your surprise, getting caught up in the meandering story.
