Dear friend Vikas Raheja from the Let's Talk, Melbourne podcast is back to discuss SNAKE FILMS! We describe what we think makes snake films so great, including how they center powerful women who take revenge, and look at three in depth: Nagin (1976), Nagamandala (1997), and Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002).
