Naag Panchami (1972) Directed and produced by Babubhai Mistri, a celebrated figure in Indian mythological cinema, is a visual treat especially for costume enthusiasts.

नाग पंचमी (1972) के निर्माता और निर्देशक बाबूभाई मिस्त्री थे। मिस्त्री भारत में निर्मित पौराणिक सिनेमा के एक विख्यात हस्ताक्षर माने जाते हैं। ख़ासतौर पर कॉस्ट्यूम ड्रामा पसन्द करनेवाले दर्शकों के लिए तो उनकी फ़िल्में चाक्षुष आनंद हैं। यह फ़िल्म अपने भव्य और चमचमाते परिधानों, कपड़ों पर शानदार कारीगरी और बहुत बारीकी से डिज़ाइन किए गए आभूषणों से दर्शकों को मोहित कर देती है। विशेष रूप से नाग देवी और उनकी सर्प सखी ने फ़िल्म में जो वस्त्र पहने हैं उनका डिज़ाइन इन किरदारों के रहस्यमय और खतरनाक चरित्रों से बखूबी मेल खाता है। इस फ़िल्म में पृथ्वीराज कपूर एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभा रहे थे और उनके साथ जयश्री गडकरी, आशीष कुमार, मनहर देसाई, वत्सला देशमुख, सुदर्शन धीर, उमा दत्त, सत्येंद्र कपूर और शशिकला जैसे सशक्त कलाकारो का समूह काम कर रहा था। फ़िल्म की कहानी नागदेवी मनसा के किरदार के साथ आगे बढ़ती है। उन्हें ये पता चलता है कि उनके दिव्य पिता और कोई नहीं बल्कि स्वयं भगवान शिव हैं। उनमें मानव द्वारा पूजे जाने की आकांक्षा जागती है। वे भक्त महाराज चंद्रधर को अपने इस उद्देश्य के लिए चुनती हैं। लेकिन जब चंद्रधर उन्हें अपने आराध्य को छोड़ उन्हें स्वीकार करने से इनकार करते हैं तो वह उन्हें श्राप देती हैं। वह उनके बच्चों की हत्या कर...
