R Madhavan and Ajay Devgn’s Shaitaan is all the talks in the Bollywood industry now. The movie receives positive reviews from audience as it hit the silver screen this week. The supernatural thriller based on black magic was helmed by Vikas Bhal. It also stars Jyothika, Janki Bodiawala and Aangad Raja.

Netizens praised Shaitaan to be a “near-perfect captivating plot”. Taking to X, Taran Adarsh said, “this supernatural genre done right…unpredictable twists and turns are big plus”.

One of the X users wrote, “Ajay Devgn is the soul of the film from start to End. He aces his role with almost perfection. Actor Madhavan is as usual fantastic. Cinematography, Drama, Direction, VFX, BGM, everything is just WOW. 15 Min Climax,”.

Another user named Himesh wrote that Shaitaan is a good fast-paced thriller. He said the movie “rides on power-packed performances of Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, Jyothika, and of course #JankiBodiwala accompanied by some spooky episodes through the narrative. The film has 7 to 8 edge-of-the-seat episodes, followed by an impactful finale act (last 30 minutes). Watch out for the pre-interval sequence and the third act of the film in the second half featuring “Daughter & Son”.

The user further said that , “Vikas Bahl adapts the Gujarati Film, Vash to perfection and the major rewriting in the climax makes the film palatable to a wider section of the audience. Overall, despite some flaws, Shaitaan is definitely worth a viewing. Watch it with the expectations of a survival thriller, than a horror film!””.

Though Shaitaan reminds you of Drishyam 2, it is said to be for all the right reasons. Reportedly, all the stars shines in their roles especially R Madhavan in the viscous antagonist.
