Shaitan - Twitter Reviews

Shaitan

wogma rating: Watch when on TV (?)
quick review: I can care for a character if there's both good and evil within him/her. If I don't see the evil side, it scares me. If don't see the good side, what's my motivation to care? Shaitan doesn't explore any fights within, it's just one devil versus the other. If it weren't for the brilliant performances, Shaitan would look like it's Director, Bejoy nambiar and producer, Anurag Kashyap's urge to sew plainly written scenes with quirky treatments.

Rahul:

The music (apart from that track by "Bhayanak Maut") is quite enjoyable. And as you say, if it's got Anurag Kashyap it can't be bad.

meetu:

**fingers crossed**

guddu:

We always knew Kalki Koechlincan play the doped out, girl-woman.well said.... Meetu i liked this part.You are absolutely correct the plot never displayed anything intriguing than the spoiled brats...taking down the streets...reminds me of dev d.Frankly speaking i went only for the sex scenes which was neither good or titillating enough.You know people have different mindset for seeing a particular film.I won't write anymore because Your review is exactly to my verdict.You really wrote the review according to your perception unlike most of the critics who easily get drool away with name and fame.Keep going Meetu.

meetu:

Thanks Guddu! What made you think there were "sex" scenes? Which "sex" scenes were there?

guddu:

IT'S BEEN WHILE SINCE I SAW AN ADULT RATED MOVIE.WHEN I FIRST SAW THE TRAILER.KALKI GOING AROUND KISSING ANOTHER GIRL RAISED MY EXPECTATIONS TO SEE IT FOR ITS SEX NUANCE.BUT AFTER WATCHING IT I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A RESEMBLANCE TO AN EARLIER MOVIE PAANCH WHICH WAS CENSORED FOR IT'S VIOLENCE AND NOT SEX AND I WAS FOOLED.

Vishal:

liked performances, liked music, loved cinematography, story could have been better ( but thats the case with 99% of things ) so net-net a very good movie

meetu:

@guddu ads! they lie all the time, don't they?

@Vishal that's one way of looking at it.

Nishchal Diwate:

I did not like the movie at all.
Music 'pintya gela', 'khoya khoya chand', was just irritating me.
I do think these movies take us to a completely wrong side, the side of doing wrong (the concept that there is 'shaitan' inside everyone/few).
Rajeev's role was good. Performances good.

Anu:

I agree with you. I too thought the end was absurd & abrupt. They tried to make the end look different but it wasn't somehow fitting with the movie. I thought the end was faster than the speed of the rest of the movie. Don't know how to put into words.

Also, yes, they've put all they could in the movie which was weird. They didn't even mention the real reason of the inspector's divorce. [comment edited because it gives the movie away]

Music, edits and performances were great! :)

meetu:

@someone_talked_of10 awesome way of putting in your thoughts. Thanks!

@Nishchal ouch! hmmm...don't quite agree that movies have the power to make us do anything we don't want to do.

@Anu :D thanks! well, i thought they gave us a sufficient glimpse of why the divorce was happening, and not everything needs to be explicitly said.

Nikhil:

Totally agree. If you have time to read my essay on the film, and drugs and violence on film in general, please do. Thanks.
