He had them memorized down to the last hiss. I remember the cook of a cousin in Bombay who would prepare some wonderfully spicy dishes while listening perpetually to an audio cassette of the dialogs from Nagina. In the late 80s Sridevi and Amrish Puri powered Nagina to unimagined box office heights. Reena Roy really turned it on and the film success encouraged a plethora of welcome copycats. Snake movies have always been avidly watched amongst our brood and I remember the drooling excitement that we were gripped by when we ventured to the desi cinemas in London to watch Nagin when it opened way back in the mid 70s.

Still Pakistani snake movie output is a mere ripple when compared to the reptilian wave of snake themed movies from India. Quite a tune they let rip once in while too. There have been countless snake movies over the years and even Pakistani cinema has tried its hand at the game with films such as Saperan, Naag Nagin, Naag Muni and the incredible Shabnam Javed Sheikh flick Sheshnagin which featured a rock band entirely composed of some highly musically skilled snakes. It wouldn’t be too wild a contention to make that snake movies easily outnumber courtroom dramas or even heist movies in South Asia. Over the years the snake movie has thrived enough to evolve into an entirely new genre of cinema in South Asia. Snake movies have been around in South Asia ever since cinema took off but I am unsure of which would qualify as being the first ever snake themed movie. Also, in our movies, inevitably the snake is not cast as the villain but as a saviour just as mostly feared Gojira is a saviour to his Japanese followers. However life was to change forever when the crossover was made from Hollywood snake movies to the phenomenal snake movies from our own part of the woods.ĭesi snake movies are far more than monster movies as they are intricately intertwined with wonderfully romantic legends, myths and exotic folklore of days gone by. However the demand for fresh reptilian fodder always seemed to exceed the supply and it was a frustrating wait for the next slithery cinematic instalment especially as in the 70s and 80s CGI was a lifetime away and Harryhausen-like stop motion magic a relic of the past.ĭie hard snake-maniacs had to make do with the odd cameo in films such as The Phibes movies and the occasional Bond or Tarzan epic to get a fix of the good stuff. Though it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment this particular love affair took off, I reckon the early B movies such as Ssssnakeand Harry Novak’s Rattlers may have been early warning signs. Over the years, one peculiarly desi genre has grown closer to the heart than would be considered healthy.
