"Shaitaan (2024)" initially captivates audiences with promising natural performances, particularly from Aadhav. However, as the film progresses, it falters in its execution, particularly in the last third. Despite commendable acting, notably from Madhavan, Ajay Devgn's lackluster portrayal detracts from the overall experience. The film's direction suffers from evident low effort and budget constraints, leading to technical and editing issues, which ultimately hinder the film's coherence. The drawn-out climax further exacerbates these flaws, diluting the essence of the movie's fitness narrative. While "Shaitaan" shows potential, especially in its early stages, its inability to deliver a cohesive and satisfying conclusion leaves much to be desired.

The high points of the movie are all in the trailer. You feel like cheated. I will tell you my problems (Spoilers ahead): 1. Ajay devgan character being a father is so passive. Your daughter is trapped by a man in front of you. He don't react, just make schemes. If he could have been active and involved fully, like showed anger when he first time come to know vashikaran but hell no, our guy is standing and processing it like a cpu.

2. They streched too much on vashikaran. Like 80% is the madhvan tourtouring the girl.

3. Ending is crap, he recorded madhvan voice to remove vashikaran. Really, you think there is no mantra, or brain/telepathy involved here. As far as I understand, it's the will of the guy who did vashikaran you follow not the tongue.

4. They completely copied vash story, made it on big budget and did some ending change and served us.

5. On very plot point, the high point of the plot you already have seen in trailer. It feel so bad. Saari movie trailer main dikha di. Like fooling the public. Nothing more is in movie. You feel kuch to chod dete movie k lie.

Overall, I ll say movie is not bad. But could have been much much better. They had very good plot. But their treatment is hell lazy. Nothing good is done on vash. So it comes out bad than vash. Like I ll tell you who ever will see this movie can give 10 good ideas for the story.

Shaitaan is a remake of the Gujarati film "Vash" and I already watch the movie as well.

In one line... Vash ending is very Dark, I didn't like it that much but the story acting was amazing.

In Shaitaan R Madhavan as the "Shaitaan" is brilliant as the antagonist and is evil personified. He is the highlight of the film for sure. Ajay Devgan, Jyotika & especially Janki Bodiwala, lend strong support to Madhavan in this simple tale of good vs evil supernatural thriller.

Great direction, editing and a stellar cast with great performances will make this an entertaining watch for fans of this genre !! Soon Movies will be on an OTT platform but the fun of watching this kind of film is in only in the theater.

The song and BGM are very nice.

Family film.
