Shaitaan on Netflix, A gripping supernatural thriller
Entertainment Desk
Ajay Devgan’s last theatrical venture, “Maidan,” didn’t perform well at the box office. But that doesn’t take away from the success of “Shaitaan,” which made waves with its theme of black magic and resonated with its audience. It went on to collect more than 140 crores at the box office.
The movie is a remake of the Gujarati movie “Vash” and is about Kabir, played by Ajay Devgan, who has a simple family. However, one day a stranger visits their house, and things begin to slip away. It’s revealed that the random stranger, played by R. Madhavan, has hypnotized his daughter and makes her do weird stuff.
The storyline of the movie is great. It rightfully does its job as a psychological thriller, providing enough spine-chilling moments. One of the most appreciated qualities of the movie is the performance of R. Madhavan, who played the mesmerizing antagonist.
One of the flaws of the movie is its draggy nature in depicting the daughter’s possession. Even so, the climax of the movie makes you feel it’s one of the better movies released this year.
The movie finally released digitally on Netflix. You can definitely watch this if you’re a thriller enthusiast.
