शैतान

"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.

I went to theatre in haldwani with my two old friends with high expectations and now I say that the movie nearly surpassed the thrill I thought the simple plot would create .

In cinema hall we were laughing, shocked and thrilled within a few minutes the movie started .

Acting wise R madhawan is unstoppable.

The girl (jhanvi) her acting is too good , I got angry on times by seeing her behaviour when when was manipulated by shaitaan (r madhavan) And Kabir (Ajay Devgan) did marvelous job as a dad but his character didn't had much development ( it looked like semi adopted from drishyam ) The mother role was nice too And kid also did amazing job

Though there could be much more to the ending but it was a bit disappointing that's why 7/10.

What a waste of talent, what a waste of time, what a waste of money!

The best part of the movie was shown in the trailer. If you have seen it already, congratulations you have watched most of the movie. Watch article 370 twice instead.

Direction was great, actors were great, screen play was great, but the movie didn't have any story. It could have been wrapped up in a crime episode.

At some places we wished there was a fast forward option to 1.5X. Basically it was a short story which was dragged unnecessarily for 2 hours 12 minutes.

I don't have anything to say more, just completing 600 letters :P.

"Shaaitan" emerges as a cinematic experience that deftly blends the elements of suspense and supernatural. Ajay Devgan delivers a compelling performance as the hero, anchoring the film with his characteristic intensity. However, it is R Madhavan's portrayal of the villain that truly elevates the narrative. His nuanced and powerful depiction of the antagonist adds a layer of depth to the film, making "Shaaitan" a memorable watch. The movie's brilliance lies not just in the performances but also in its ability to maintain a gripping storyline that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Madhavan's acting prowess is a standout, showcasing his versatility and command over his craft. Overall, "Shaaitan" is a well-executed thriller that showcases the talents of its leading actors and leaves a lasting impression.

A family outing takes a terrifying turn when an intruder takes over the body of the teenage daughter, putting her at the mercy of increasingly sinister orders.

Performances are good from each member of the star cast. The best comes from R. Madhavan and Janki Bodiwala. Both have played their roles exceptionally well. Ajay Devgn, Jyothika, and Anngad Raaj also have played their roles really well.

The first half of the film does a good job in initially building the family dynamic so that when R. Madhavan enters we feel for each member of the family. After the good first half the second half starts off a bit slow as not much happens. However it does eventually become fine leading to a good second half of the film.

Overall a good enjoyable film and I recommend it.
