Shaitaan revolves around a fateful night when an uninvited guest (played by R Madhavan) enters a family’s remote farmhouse in the hills and claims to have hypnotized Janhvi (Janki Bodiwala), who plays Ajay Devgn’s daughter. More chaos ensures. Jyotika plays Ajay's wife in the film.

About the film

Shaitaan is touted to be a Hindi remake of the acclaimed Gujarati movie titled Vash. The film is presented by Jio Studios, Ajay Devgn Ffilms and Panorama Studios International, and produced by Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music for the film.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film added, “It’s still a tricky period for the big-screen film, and what Shaitan seems to be hoping will work in its favour is shock value. If a raucous and mildly unsettling hostage drama with a more than mildly entertaining R Madhavan is enough for you, go watch it.” It released in theatres on March 8.
