 A strong contender for the bottom three The film Sheshnaag is a favourite for a place in the bottom three of my quest in the world of Nagin - the snake godess of India . From the start, I have been objective, my favourite so far is the 1976 film with Reena Roy - readers will recall miss Roy is a fave actress of mine, but I am being impartial in my quest - I am also taking in account the age of the film, and the technology available at the time.  Most people would vote for the original film with Sridevi in their top three, but I am looking forward to the original 1954 film featuring the actress Vjayanthimala ; I saw her in the film Madhumati with Dilip Kumar . All in all, one of the reason I bought this film is it has Rekha , another fave of mine in.

 The Original Nagin Movie With my latest buy from eBay , I have completed the Nagin series of films available to buy. I can view the series from the original movie ( 1954 ) through to the cheap movies of the last five years, and give a reasonable opinion on how I rate the films. The bottom three are already set; the worst is without a doubt, in my mind, the new series. I am at a loss as to how you can turn a very good film of 1 3/4 hours, into a series of 1/2 hour episodes that run for several series. I can understand going back to show how Nagin became what she became, but this should only take a few minutes of screen time. I have to smile with the acquisition of this film, one of the "new" characters in the Harry Potter films came from a film that is two years older, maybe more depending on the month the film was released, than I am; making the character about 68 years old :)
