Nagina is a Bollywood movie released in 1986. It was directed by Harmesh Malhotra and produced by Rajkumar Kohli. The film stars Rishi Kapoor, Sridevi, Amrish Puri, Prem Chopra, and Jagdeep in lead roles.
The film is a supernatural fantasy drama that tells the story of a woman named Rajni (played by Sridevi) who is married into a family of serpent worshippers. She possesses a magical gemstone, the nagmani, which can transform her into a snake at will. Her husband Raja (played by Rishi Kapoor) is unaware of her secret and soon becomes the target of her vengeful enemies who want to steal the nagmani for their own purposes.
Nagina was well received by audiences and became a box office hit. It is still remembered for its memorable soundtrack composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, particularly the songs "Main Teri Dushman" and "Balma Tum Balma Ho Mere Khali Naam Ke". Sridevi's performance was also widely praised, and the film is considered one of her career-defining roles.
Overall, Nagina was a successful film that combined supernatural elements with melodramatic storytelling to create a unique cinematic experience. It inspired a sequel, Nigahen: Nagina Part II, which was released in 1989.
