Shaitaan has emerged as one of the surprises of 2024 so far, with Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, and Jyothika’s film raking in Rs 117.47 crores worldwide. A horror film revolving around the premise of Indian black magic, it has garnered Rs 81.60 crores (Nett) in India alone. Audiences have been captivated by the stellar performances of the cast, particularly R Madhavan, who has delivered a memorable portrayal as a baddie. With Shaitaan expected to surpass the Rs 100 crore mark in India during the second weekend, it’s holding its own against stiff competition from movies like Yodha and Bastar.

Despite facing competition, Shaitaan has several factors working in its favor. The film is a remake of a Gujarati movie of the same name, with Janki Bodiwala reprising her role from the original. While Yodha offers audiences commercial entertainment with adrenaline-pumping action sequences, Bastar delves into the complex narrative of the Naxal uprising in India’s heartland.

Shaitaan’s success extends beyond the box office, as it continues to perform strongly in various regions across India, particularly in the mass belt. The film has also found resonance in Eastern markets like West Bengal, Odisha, and Assam, drawing in families to theaters with its compelling storyline and themes that resonate with audiences nationwide.

The film’s exploration of Indian black magic and supernatural elements has sparked discussions and piqued curiosity among viewers. Its ability to blend horror with social commentary has contributed to its widespread appeal, making it a standout entry in the genre.
