As I told dustedoff, I had no recollection of this beyond the enemy tribes and falling in love etc., and no one was more surprised than I was when the whole thing began to fall apart! Actually, if you fast forward the last half an hour after Vyjayanthimala dies, right up to the last three minutes of screen time, then it is watchable. :) But be warned you will also lose out on the last five songs.Anu Warriernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-12587415311070088152011-09-05T20:59:13.562-04:002011-09-05T20:59:13.562-04:00Anu, and this is the movie you told me was NOT ba...Anu, and this is the movie you told me was <b><i> NOT</i></b> bad?? Gosh, this sounds awful! I mean, I like all the masala usually, but, this just seems so over the top. Vyjayanthimala looks gorgeous, though!

It was exactly like my last review - 'What the?' 'Why the?' 'How the?' for the last hour (instead of the first. Maybe that is progress?). But yes, the songs...Anu Warriernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-82830214543866634982011-09-05T12:33:37.589-04:002011-09-05T12:33:37.589-04:00Anu, where in heavens' name do you find these ...Anu, where in heavens' name do you find these movies? Your review was a hoot. I have always loved the songs, and had half thought once or twice about watching the movie, but I am glad you wrote the review before I could! Shudder. Those sets made my eyes bulge out! And WHY is it in colour? <br /><br />Anyway, it made me laugh out loud, and gave my humor fix for the day, so thank you!Sridharnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-35611704945624458062011-09-05T09:16:10.287-04:002011-09-05T09:16:10.287-04:00I saw Nagin as a teenager too!

To be honest, I had blanked the whole film out and was aghast when I saw it again recently and the film turned into colour. <br /><br />*spoiler ahead* - though not for you :) You should have seen my face when Vyjayanthimala is dead (in black and white) in one scene and turns into Cleopatra (in colour) in the next! I had no clue what was happening! Equally suddenly, there were five songs one after another, with may be two minutes between each, and all those sets - I was wondering whether they were supposed to be dead and united in the afterlife or something! I felt very dumb to *not* understand the film! <br /><br />As for that last screen shot, I suppose when one comes back to life after being bitten several times by a cobra that everything <b>will</b> seem fresh and new! :)Anu Warriernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-16228786416748011672011-09-05T01:08:30.243-04:002011-09-05T01:08:30.243-04:00It's been years since I watched Nagin, and tha...It's been years since I watched <i>Nagin</i>, and that's mainly because I (even when I was a teenager!) couldn't really find anything - except the music, and Vyjyanthimala - that I liked in the movie! As it is, I'm not a fan of these snake films. But, ah - what songs. :-) (Also, what hilarious sets - that last lot of screenshots is priceless - "Everything is new and fresh", huh?)dustedoffhttp://dustedoff.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
