Nagin, 1954 Director: Nandlal Jaswantlal Music: Hemant Kumar (aka Hemanta Mukherjee) Lyrics: Rajendra Krishan Playback: Lata Mangeshkar, Hemant Kumar Cast: Vyjayanthimala, Pradeep Kumar, Jeevan, Mubarak, S.L. Puri, Ram Avtar, Krishna Kumari, Sulochana, I.S. Johar Two tribes are in conflict for some local economic rights. The daughter of the Nagi tribe's chief, Mala (Vyjayanthimala) vows to kill the son of the Ragi tribe's chief, Sanatan (Pradeep Kumar) as revenge. Trespassing the enemy territory, she is mesmerized by music of a flute. Coming closer, she finds out that the singer is Sanatan. They fall in love, but they find it difficult to appease the enemity between the two tribes and to resist to the attempts of the villain Prabir (Jeevan) to marry the heroine. A classic film known today for its songs (the MD won a Filmfare Award for the music), and for making Vyjayanthimala a star.
