Shaitaan Story Breakdown

The storyline revolves around Kabir (Ajay Devgn), his wife Neha (Jyothika), his daughter Janvhi (Janki Bodiwala), and his son Dhruv (Anngad Raaj). During a family vacation, they encounter a stranger named Angad (R. Madhavan) under ordinary circumstances. However, this seemingly ordinary encounter takes a dark turn when Angad offers the family a sweet. A squabble ensues between the siblings over the treat, with Janvhi ultimately snatching it from her brother and consuming it. Unbeknownst to her, this act leads to her being hypnotized by Angad. Consequently, she starts to adhere to Angad’s suggestions.

After enjoying snacks, the entire family goodbye to Angad and continues their journey to the destination. However, Angad’s unexpected reappearance at the destination causes distress for the family. Despite Neha expressing her discomfort to her husband Kabir, he takes it lightly, invites Angad into their home, and assists him by allowing him to charge his phone for a while. Meanwhile, Angad also requests permission to charge his phone.

The real twist unfolds when Kabir and Neha realize that their daughter has been hypnotized by Angad and is now following his instructions. The situation became highly intense when, following Angad’s instructions, Janvhi inadvertently caused harm to her father and threw her brother Dhruv from the roof. 

In the wake of unforeseen supernatural occurrences, Kabir and Neha strive to rescue their daughter. Meanwhile, Dhruv becomes entangled in the repercussions of his supernatural activities, involving not just Janvhi but also other girls. The unfolding story promises to reveal many more intriguing twists and turns.

Shaitaan Movie Review

The remake, directed by Vikas Bahl, showcases his remarkable directorial prowess, captivating the audience. Writer Krishnadev Yagnik, who directed and penned the original film, once again shines with his exceptional storytelling abilities. This time, the writer skillfully alters the conclusion, providing the audience with a refreshing experience.

In spite of being a remake, both seasoned actors and fresh talents deliver outstanding performances in the film. The collaborative effort of the entire cast keeps the audience captivated from start to finish. Pratik Parmar’s cinematography is exceptional, and Amit Trivedi’s background music (BGM) keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats.

In conclusion, this film is a must-watch, with not a single dull moment to bore the audience. Even if you’ve seen the original Gujarati film, this adaptation still offers something new to captivate and engage you. The film concludes with an unfinished scene, leaving the audience with a hint of a possible sequel.
