“#Shaitaan is the thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.. With the tense scenarios created, there is rarely a dull moment in the film..
Maddy & Janki are brilliant.. DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, “ wrote one fan.
Another reviewer wrote that the film was a perfect watch for thriller lovers. “Shaitaan- A highly engaged seat edge thriller. Recommended for Thriller fans! What a performance from Madhavan,” he praised.
Box-office analyst and movie reviewer Sumit Kadel praised the movie profusely, calling it a “chilling masterpiece.”
“#Shaitaan emerges as a chilling MASTERPIECE in the realm of supernatural thrillers, setting a new standard for Hindi cinema in the genre. The narrative revolves around the sinister world of black magic, with #RMadhavan's character, Vanraaj performs vashikaran to manipulate and control #AjayDevgn's daughter, leading to spine-chilling consequences..” he wrote.
Another Bollywood-centric handle called ‘Apna Bollywood’ called it a “horrifying thriller.”
“It grabs you from the start and doesn't let go, filled with horrifying and shocking elements alongside unexpected twists that keep you guessing till the end. The last 30 minutes are explosive..”
‘Shaitaan’ Off To A Slow Start
Despite rave reviews, the movie has started slow at the box-office. According to a report by the Indian box-office tracking portal Sacnilk.com, the movie collected a modest Rs 3.32 crore on day one. Directed by Bahl (best known for Kangana Ranaut-starrer ‘Queen’), ‘Shaitaan’ follows the journey of a happy family who comes across a creepy yet charismatic stranger in a remote village. Although the stranger claims he is their well-wisher, it is revealed that he is a practitioner of black magic and is trying to manipulate and torment them.
Aside from Devgn and Madhavan, the film also stars South Indian star Jyothika in a pivotal role.
