#Shaitaan Speaking of performances, @ActorMadhavan steals the show and takes the film to another level. @imjankibodiwala is terrific, to say the least. @ajaydevgn, too, puts his best foot forward, especially in the second half https://t.co/C7cgI7T8AD

Trailer mein jo tha wahi sab movie mein tha, suspense ke liye zyada kuch bacha nahi tha, par pacing acchi hai, BGM toh shaandaar hai movie ka, R Madhavan ne or sabne mast acting kari hai.
Climax bohot hi badhiya laga, theatre mein dekh sakte ho. pic.twitter.com/vP4Cn05Ac4— Vishwajeet Singh Shekhawat (@WVissh) March 8, 2024

Additionally, Christopher Kanagaraj pointed out that the film’s background score enhances the already ‘engaging’ screenplay’s impact.
“Story happens in one night. Maddy is Fantastic. Gud Perf frm tat Girl. Expression less Ajay Devgn. Jyotika ok. Engaging screenplay with thrills. Intense BGM. Interesting till pre climax; Film Dips towards the end. GOOD,” read his post.
#Shaitaan – 👍

‘Shaitaan’, directed by Vikas Behl, revolves around the clash between the good and evil. Besides Ajay Devgn, the cast includes R Madhavan and Jyotika. It is produced under Jio Studios, Devgn Films, and Panorama Studios
This is Devgn’s first release after ‘Bholaa’, which hit screens last year. Post ‘Shaitaan’, he will be seen in Maidaan. The sports drama features him as Syed Abdul Rahim, one of the pioneers of Indian football. It stars Priyamani as the leading lady. ‘Maidaan’ is set to open in theatres this Eid. It will face competition from Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade ‘Miyan Chote Miyan’, slated to release around the same time.
