Vikas Behel's latest horror-thriller, 'Shaitan,' continues to dominate the Indian box office, surpassing the ₹100 crore mark and leaving audiences spellbound with its intense storyline and stellar performances.
Despite facing stiff competition from recent releases like the big-budget film 'Joddha,' starring Ajay Devgan, Madhavan, and Jyothika, 'Shaitan' has maintained its stronghold at the box office. Many anticipated that 'Joddha' would pose a challenge to 'Shaitan,' but the latter's success proved otherwise.
'Shaitan' has been receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, propelling it to join the coveted ₹100 crore club in India. Even in its second week of release, the film's earnings remained robust, with Sunday's box office collection reaching an impressive ₹9.75 crore.
The film's success can be attributed to its gripping storyline and standout performances, particularly Madhavan's portrayal of a sinister black magician and Ajay Devgan's compelling performance as a father determined to protect his daughter from the clutches of evil.
In addition to Devgan and Madhavan, the film also features acclaimed South Indian actress Jyotika in a pivotal role, alongside Gujarati actress Janki Bodiwala, who delivers a captivating performance as Devgan and Jyotika's daughter, Janhvi. The plot revolves around Janhvi as she becomes the target of a malevolent force, prompting her family's desperate efforts to save her from the horrors of black magic.
'Shaitan' has defied expectations in the competitive landscape of Indian cinema, captivating audiences with its gripping narrative and standout performances. As the film continues to draw audiences to theaters, it reaffirms Vikas Behel's prowess as a filmmaker and underscores the enduring popularity of horror-thriller films in Indian cinema.
