For people who don’t know, “Shaitaan” is a remake of the Gujarati film "Vash." The movie revolves around a stranger who enters a family's house and hypnotizes their daughter, Janhavi (Janki Bodiwala).

The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “The goosebumps and wincing that come with “Shaitaan” are not because of the situation or the film, but because its screenplay is organically horrifying. They come as part and parcel of the situational response that hostage dramas and psychological thrillers always deliver. Vikas Bahl has taken those sub-genres and tossed them in the gravy of the supernatural.”
