About Shaitaan
Directed by Vikas Bahl, the movie is the remake of the Gujarati movie, Vash. The movie revolves around Kabir (Ajay Devgn) and his family, who go on a vacation where they meet Vanraj (R Madhavan), who soon enters their sprawling mansion and hypnotises his daughter Janvi, who is now following his every instruction.
Apart from Ajay, and R Madhavan, the movie stars Jyothika, Janki Bodiwala, and Anngad Raaj.
Shaitaanreview
WION's film critic Shomini Sen wrote, ''Shaitaan's screenplay by Aamil Keeyan Khan helps to create the perfect premise for the psychological horror film. In the first half, when Vanraj intrudes and stays at the farmhouse, Kabir and Jyoti's realisation of how Janvi is under Vanraj's control and a crucial scene where the cops come calling- are tense and keep you on the edge of your seat. The writing is gripping and it is well executed on screen. But the writing dips horribly in the second half. Post interval, some of the scenes are individually great but when they are stitched together, they don't make the narrative edgy. The last half an hour of the 132-minute-long film seems so outlandish and stretched that it completely spoils the otherwise gripping first half of the film,'' read more here.
