Nagina wasn't just a surprise hit, it was a surprise blockbuster! We have copies of magazines from the mid 80s where this film with its off-beat theme (back then!) and thriller with a female lead in nearly every frame, was considered a lackluster bet at the box-office! Boy where the critics wrong.
Like the lead actress, the film was a rage and smashed records when it was released 34 years ago today; on 28 November 1986!
In an interview, Sridevi stated that the climax dance, Main Teri Dushman, was her favorite dance of all-time; which is saying something considering she has so many memorable song-and-dance routines in her vast repertoire.
We've seen many versions of the dance on reality tv, attempted by over enthusiastic and often acrobatic dancers on reality TV shows, but sorry to say, if not state, that none of them had the grace and beauty of the iconic actress.
But thumbs up for the attempt...
Watch the original, the one and only, Sridevi.
