The Other Kind Of Classics - 6 - Sheshnaag

"The Other Kind Of Classics" presents one of the all time classics! If you ever want to see just one of these movies, this is it!!
 
The name: Sheshnaag
Actors: Jeetendra, Rishi Kapoor, Rekha, Danny, Madhavi and Mandakini.

Story: Aghoori (Danny) wants the ichchadhari Naag-Nagin pair of Pritam (Jeetendra) and Banu (Madhavi) desperately.
Bcoz every lunar eclipse they reveal a trove of immense wealth and power - more powerful than the Gods!
 

Meanwhile, in a small village far, far away, we have Rekha whose father dies. She is left with a foul hubby (Anupam Kher) and
innocent brother (Rishi Kapoor). Bhola loves animals. He can charm any animal with his flute. He saves the nagin (Banu) and hence
is hated by Aghoori and his henchmen.
Meanwhile Rekha suffers a Draupadi fate. Anupam loses her in a wager, and she is surrounded by men wanting to sexually assault her.
So she jumps off a cliff. Banu takes her form and comes back to take care of Bhola. They move into a palatial mansion.
Pritam joins as a servant so he can be close to his wife and help look after Bhola.

Now Bhola falls in love with Kamini (Mandakini) and undergoes training to make a strong man of himself. This training is classic in itself!
But how will these guys stop Aghoori?

Fantastic dialogue of all time:
Aghoori on the origins/chemical composition of his power:
"Aghoori ki srushti Shaitan ne ki hai!
1000 Shaitanon ko mar kar, shamshan ghat mein jalakar, ek raakh tayyar kiya gaya.
Us raakh ko 1000 chipkaliyon ke khoon mein gholkar, ek putala tayyar kiya gaya.
Aur uss putle ko magarmach ke khaal se dhak diya gaya.
Aur uske haathon aur paaon ke jagah bichoon ke dankh laga diye gaye.
Aur uske baad Aghori paida hua!"


The entire movie is available on YouTube.

Finally, we leave you with proof that Alpenliebe stole their "Kaisi jeebh laplapayee" ad concept from Sheshnaag.
Enjoy this song - I am not responsible if your stomach pains with laughter!
