Naagin

Naagin centers on Purvi, a supernatural serpent who can take human form, and uses that power to weave into people's lives in pursuit of vengeance. She slips into different identities, from devoted partner to alluring stranger, to get close to those she believes have harmed her or her kin. The series layers domestic drama with fantastical elements as Purvi's choices provoke clashes between families and hidden factions tied to serpent lore. As alliances shift and secrets come out, the story explores how far someone will go when private pain meets ancient abilities, while other characters, including rivals and potential allies, complicate a path that stays unpredictable.

Premiered in 2015, Naagin was created by Ekta Kapoor and introduced on Indian television as a supernatural action-adventure series, showcasing a blend of mythic elements and soap-style melodrama.

The show helped reinforce the female shape-shifter as a fixture in mainstream serials, drawing attention to serpent mythology and its visual spectacle. Its dramatic set pieces, costume-heavy presentation, and recurrent revenge scenes became talking points in pop culture, influencing the look and tone of similar genre programs.

Critics and audiences were divided, with a low user score noted from a small sample size, reflecting polarized reactions to the show's melodramatic excess and fantastical premise. Major themes include revenge, identity, power and betrayal, with the supernatural motif used to amplify emotional conflicts rather than to focus on scientific explanation.

There are no widely reported major industry awards associated with this particular series, and it is primarily known for its role in popularizing myth-inflected television drama rather than for prize recognition.
