Review of Shaitaan

Shaitaan (2024)
6/10
A lost opportunity
19 March 2024
Watch it for Madhavan's brilliant performance. And ofcourse, the initial suspense the film is successful in creating. Because the screenplay and story in the 2nd half doesn't do the concept any justice.

Some excellent acting Ajay Devgan, Jyothika and especially Janki Bodiwala, the actress from the original Gujrati film. Though the movie takes its time to establish the characters, the family dynamic (sometimes a bit too Bollywood and over the top) and to build the intrigue around what motivates Madhavan's character, they fail to deliver on it. The climax sequences had me yawning. The ending was unexpected, but ruined again by unnecessary over-the-top dialogues. All in all, it was a pretty forgettable Thriller.
