‘Shaitaan’ is one movie that doesn’t should be ignored — or, extra pressingly, remembered as simply one other Bollywood flick. Rehna Hai Tere Dil Main’s chocolate boy (R Madhavan) has gone all rogue and psycho in ‘Shaitaan’. Just like many bland movies of the previous, the film tweaks the traditional melodramatic theme of somebody idiotic who needs to rule the world. That place is taken up by R Madhavan who turns into maliciously sinful, and the goal of his rage is Kabir’s (Ajay Devgn) teenage daughter Janhvi (Janki Bodiwala).
Bringing the farce of life to the display screen, the film begins with an overtly blissful household who’re laughing past measure, playfully stealing one another’s meals and organising flowers. Everything is so colourful and vivid that it has to tone all the way down to actuality. Little did we all know, it’ll take a 360-degree darkish flip the place a stranger will topple their life the other way up with black magic. So commences a story, laced with respectable sound, drama, and twists, of a household attempting to avoid wasting their daughter from the shackles of the venomous oppressor. After establishing the premise within the first half, the plot thickens after the interval and writers have crafted hidden surprises to maintain you wide-eyed.
A Dysfunctional mind plucked right into a smokin’ bod
R Madhavan’s superb performing and psychologically gripping portrayal go away an affect. Although the soul prefers the ace actor as a lover, the actor’s gotta act! His grotesque imagery piques curiosity and he seems to be his surreal finest. (..and the salt-and-pepper bearded look is apparent attractive)
Father of the yr
Ajay Devgn lacked luster. Let’s simply say, he participated. Notably, there’s a sturdy absence of dialogue for the principle actors, notably throughout pivotal moments within the movie.
Final Thoughts
Shaitaan blows proper previous the so-bad-it’s-good classification. It deserves appreciation. In easy phrases, it’s pleasant, however its attraction is tailor-made to a specific type of leisure which will require some adjustment for these unfamiliar with it.
