Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐️

Drama. Thrills. Chills. Shock-value. All enveloped in a near-perfect, captivating plot… This is supernatural genre done right… Unpredictable twists and turns are a big plus… Watch it! #ShaitaanReview

The written material gives ample scope to the principal cast to spread their wings… #AjayDevgn excels as the helpless parent; conveys fear, concern and vulnerability with precision… #RMadhavan is outstanding; he is savage, vicious and sadistic, all combined, without going overboard.

It’s a delight to watch #Jyotika on the #Hindi screen after a really long gap. She’s in super form… #JankiBodiwala gets to portray the most difficult part in the film and she does a brilliant job.

Director #VikasBahl charters into the supernatural territory for the first time and the execution of the subject keeps you on tenterhooks for most parts… Only thing, the post-interval portions could’ve been sharper and tighter.

Last but not the least, a special mention of the terrific background score [#AmitTrivedi], it amplifies the tension and unsettling vibe.

#OneWordReview…#Shaitaan: WINNER.

Continuing, it stated, “Shaitaan stands out as one of those uncommon supernatural films suitable for family viewing.” The reviewer elaborated, “Vikas Bahl impeccably adapts the Gujarati film ‘Vash,’ and significant revisions in the climax render the movie appealing to a broader audience. Despite a few imperfections, Shaitaan is unquestionably a film worth watching. Approach it with the anticipation of a survival thriller rather than a horror film!
