Yeah, Naagin was a runaway hit. Sri had 9 releases in 1986 including Naagin out of which she had 5 hits (Nagina,Karma,Aakhree Rasta,Dharm Adhikari and Ghar Sansar). Apart from the 9 films,she made a special appearance in Jaanbaaz with Har Kisiko Nahi Milta which became a blockbuster song and topped the charts. Infact, Nagina was such a huge hit that despite the illogical plot and supernatural premise, Sri alone gave tough competion to her other film Karma which had Dilip Kumar,Nutan,Anil,Jackie and Naseer in it to bag the top slot.
Here's an article about the same..
Sridevi's Nagina (1986) rocks the box-office!
|
| Sridevi in and as Nagina (1986) |
For a quickie Flashback Friday, a blast to the past, when
Nagina released and started breaking box-office records.
Giving Karma a run for its money!
Nagina is turning out to be one of those freak hits like
Pyar Jhukta Nahinwhich deny all logic. Made by Harmesh Malhotra, who hasn't given a decent hit till now, and with only Sridevi to woo the audiences,
Nagina is turning out to be the grosser which might overshadow even
Karma, the media hit of '86! In the eighth week it, collected Rs. 1,58,353 (94 percent) on 3 prints in Bombay while Delhi gave it Rs 2, 04,884 on 4 prints and Cacutta Rs. 41, 438 on 1 print.
"
Nagina certainly beats
Karma in terms of the profits it will earn," says a distributor. "It's the runaway hit of the year, it's creating havoc everywhere!" The reason why he's getting so carried away is that
Nagina was sold for a mere Rs.18 lakhs and is expected to do a business of Rs. 1 crore while
Karma, which is celebrating its silver jubilee was sold for Rs. 64 lakhs and together with prints and publicity that puts up a hefty Rs 80 lakhs to be grossed before it can break even.
"It's too high a price to make money on," says the distributor. "In Bombay, it's not doing well though it is not running a deficit as yet. It's doing well in the circuits however. But it's not enough."
She also had 4 film releases in Tamil and Telegu in the same year!
Don't know about Ekta's inspiration though..
