Directed by Harmesh Malhotra, the film revolved around Rajni's marriage to Rajiv and her mission to avenge the death of her serpent husband.

Nagina reportedly emerged as the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 1986 and played a key role in establishing Sridevi as one of Hindi cinema's leading female stars. It also had a sequel, Nigahein, which arrived in 1989.

Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai at the age of 54.
