Note: I'll be offline for a few days and will finish up with a few more posts next week.
For the Hindi portion of the Film Fessssstival, I decided to see if I could track down some of the earliest filmi snakes. Although I didn't have the time to find and watch the whole film (next year!), I did locate videos of some of the songs.
From Nagin (1954), we have "Man Dole Tan Dole", in which Mala (Vyjayanthimala) the daughter of the Nagi tribe's chief, is mesmerized by music of a flute, only to learn that the singer (Pradeep Kumar) is the son of her family's sworn enemy.

From Nag Panchami (1953) here's "O Naag Kahin Jaa Basiyo Re Mere Piya Ko."
I believe that's Nirupa Roy getting all misty-eyed singing to the snakes and cuddling with Manohar Desai.
