gladiatorbabu its been a long time i had this movie, so today i watched it along with my European wife and god bless the film makers, they came out with a gem. Well, since we already watched DevD together, she was expecting something of same level. Its colourful,fun, vibrant, dark,comedic,stupid and realistic. Its a movie that has made me proud. In a whole year I watch maybe 3 or 5 max bollywood movies, because of the utter Shiites being released. And this year i managed this movie as the first one. I would say that whoever watches this one would be surprised at the level of maturity being shown. It can challenge Hollywood, in terms of every aspects of production. Real gem.
Vivekmaru45 What a cheap joke coming from a cheap director. This film is filled with cheap B-grade actors and they are ugliest bunch of misfits I have ever laid eyes on. How they managed to worm their way into mainstream Bollywood cinema is a mystery to me. The film is simple enough: a group of friends while driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs cause an accident in which the victim is fatally injured and dies on the spot. They flee from the scene instead of going to the police station and giving themselves up, going immediately to a lawyer, or going to their parents.They decide to bribe a police inspector who demands a hefty sum of 25 Lakh Rupees. They are unable to figure out how to raise this sum and so decide to fake a kidnapping of one of their friends: Amrita (Kalki Koechlin). This proves to be a wrong and disastrous step for them as her parents immediately go to the police, who assign this case to police inspector, Arvind Mathur (Rajeev Khandelwal). Verdict: This film starts of well but then sinks like the Titanic. Avoid spending your hard-earned money going to the cinema to watch it. Rather go and have a hearty meal at your favorite restaurant. If you still want to see this film, watch it online for free or rent it cheap.I saw another film called Musaa: The Most Wanted (2010). This film also has a kidnapping theme and is better in all aspects.
guru-guru002 Shaitan is a very well made movie and Performances of the actors are also fantastic..it keeps you on the edge of seat and ending is superbly done.. I have been a fan of thriller movies and nearly sen all Hollywood movie from Hitchcock to current source code..They are great movies and i am glad shaitan came on Indian screen by an Indian director and maverick produce/director/actor Anurag Kashyap.. I always liked his kind of movies and watched his every movie .. They are simply great and he is his own unique style of storytelling which keeps you hooked till the very end.. The movie is a cinematic achievement and is a must watch for every cinema lover..Casting is perfect with Rajeev Khandelwal as a tough cop..Role suits him and so was the kalki's role..It was role made for her..Also to mention i liked KC and That LSD guy..The new breed of actors is real good..Having said all these i would also like to add that while watching Shaitan you get nearly all emotions(which is its strength) and it has some eerie feeling also.. It is great cinema ,no doubt about it..But a great cinema can also influence great many people and the generations also.. I know that my single stance can not change anything but still i would like to maintain that this world lacks optimism and cinema should spread optimism ..Positive movies with positive motives and selflessness should be made..When you come out of theater you should be full of energy and optimism about life in general..I hope all people there making movies will understand it..You all are genius and very hard working and may be intellectual or philosopher also but communication and cinema are very strong medium and strong are its effects..Entertain and educate and enlighten(in spiritual sense) people with your power of movie making..Thanks and Shaitan is great cinema..8/10..
DEEPAK KARNAMKOTIL Anurag Kashyap .... yes.. that's the name everyone looks before going to watch a movie which has new actors, director, music directors, weird movie title (every body expects the title "Shaitan" to be associated with a horror one). And Anurag did it again by just being a produce. Its like "the MIDAS touch". First, i was never going to watch this movie, but just gave a shot coz i am a huge fan of Anurag Kashyap. And.. taddaa ! I was not disappointed, even though the director is Bijoy Nambiar. About Direction - Nambiar has his own style, can say the Guy Ritchie of Bollywood. Super slow motion, more involvement of camera as a character, fast paced flash backs, witty narration and good background music. About actors - Really believable.. 'that's what is required in a movie'. Most of the lead actors were new ,but were well seasoned campaigners from the TV channels. Rajiv Khandelwal's role was very impact full, so was all the support actors. About Music - Perfect ! just fitted the movie. It was just a character of the movie. Am really upset and wondering that ... y the songs.. "Khoya khoya chand and Hawa hawai" is not there in the OST? :(About the Movie - Its the best Bollywood has to offer after "3 Idiots". Its... stylish, has good action, acting, music and its a zero VFX movie. The whole movie is real in its look (the roads, buildings, character, story). We can relate it to our own daily life routine. That's where the movie scores its mark. And above the all.. you can OR just watch this movie in theater... simply superb ! for its action, music, run chase, super slow mo scenes.Aaah ! Shaitan ......
