Shaitaan: Spooky Snoozefest or Must-See Thriller? 

 We Spill the Tea

Remember all that hype for Shaitaan, the new horror flick starring Ajay Devgn?

We were promised chills, thrills, and maybe even a little demonic possession. So, did it live up to the buzz? Let's dissect this movie like a science project and see what we find.

The Good, the Meh, and the Seriously WTF

First up, the good stuff. The Times of India gave it a decent 3.5 out of 5, praising the performances, especially Jyothika who apparently manages to stay sane amidst the chaos. The story itself has potential – a happy family on a vacation gets tangled up with a creepy dude who puts a bad spell on their daughter. Sounds like the recipe for a horror movie night, right?

Here's where things get a bit meh. Apparently, the execution is a bit… well, underwhelming. The reviewer says the scary scenes are totally predictable and rely on tired old tricks. Think jump scares and creepy whispering – been there, done that. Plus, the plot goes all over the place, trying to be both a psychological thriller and a supernatural horror flick, and not quite succeeding at either.

Is it All Ajay's Fault?

Now, for the big question: is Ajay Devgn to blame for this spooky snoozefest? Nope! Apparently, he throws himself into the role, just like he always does. The problem seems to be with the script itself, which the reviewer describes as "excess" and lacking in originality. Think recycled ideas and characters you've seen a million times before.

So, Should You Watch Shaitaan?

Here's the deal. If you're a die-hard Ajay Devgn fan who will watch him battle anything from aliens to bad parking, then maybe give Shaitaan a shot. Just don't expect to be scared out of your socks.

However, if you're looking for a genuinely chilling horror movie with a clever plot, you might want to steer clear. This one's more likely to make you roll your eyes than scream into your popcorn.

The Final Verdict

Shaitaan is a movie with a case of identity crisis. It tries to be scary, suspenseful, and a little bit mind-bending, but it never quite pulls it off. The acting is decent, but the script is a mess. If you have two hours to spare and a thing for Ajay Devgn, then go for it. Otherwise, there are definitely spookier movies out there that will leave you genuinely terrified.
