Janhvi Kapoor turned Halloween into a Nagina tribute, and she did it by stepping into Sridevi’s part while Orry took the Rishi Kapoor slot. The shoot copied the film’s poster and a few familiar scenes, and Janhvi framed the whole thing as a salute to one of the most famous movie moments tied to her mother.
On Instagram, she leaned into the fun but kept the tone affectionate. Her post treated costume season as a chance to honor favorite screen figures, and she said Sridevi, Rishi Kapoor, and Amrish Puri were an easy pick for that kind of homage. She also hinted that she got a bit of styling help.
Khushi Kapoor jumped into the comments with sibling hype and basically declared the contest over. Fair enough. The look clearly landed, and the nostalgia angle did a lot of the heavy lifting.
As for the film itself, Nagina was directed by Harmesh Malhotra, who also produced it through Eastern Films. Ravi Kapoor handled the screenplay, while Jagmohan Kapoor supplied the story.
The plot centered on Rajni, played by Sridevi, a serpent woman who wed Rajiv, played by Rishi Kapoor, while chasing revenge for her dead husband against a corrupt holy man. Komal Mahuvakar, Amrish Puri, Sushma Seth, and Prem Chopra were part of the cast as well.
The movie did real business at the box office and finished as one of the year’s top earners in India. That part matters, because Janhvi was not referencing some niche title. She picked a film that had major reach and left a lasting mark.
Sridevi died in Dubai in 2018 at 54, and investigators ruled her death an accidental drowning. That history gave Janhvi’s costume post extra weight, because it read less like dress-up and more like a personal thank-you to a screen legend who was also her mother.
