Review of Nagin

Nagin (1976)
8/10
This eye-popping bit of weirdness is never dull!
12 October 2001
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.
