Trivia
- The film's climax was shot at the famous Bhangarh Fort in Rajasthan, known as one of India's most haunted locations.
- Sridevi performed her own snake dance in the song 'Main Teri Dushman', which became an iconic cultural moment.
- The film was originally offered to Rekha, but she turned it down, leading to Sridevi being cast as the Naagin.
- Nagina was one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 1986, despite mixed reviews from critics.
- The special effects for the snake transformations were done using basic camera tricks and practical effects, as CGI was not available.
- Actor Amrish Puri, who played the villain Bhairon Nath, based his look on traditional sadhus but added his own menacing touch.
- The film's success led to a sequel, 'Nigahen', released in 1989, which also starred Sridevi in a similar role.
