Shaitan - Adrenaline at fault


I almost regretted my decision of watching Shaitan at a multiplex during first 15 minutes of this movie. But later it really picks up the pace. It keeps getting better and better. There are few jokes in the first half where I was literaly laughing my a** off of the seat. And during the second half you get to see such an intense drama/tragedy that you alomst forget that the whole thing started when these guys were just messing around a bit too much. You really wonder who is at fault at the end... answer may be adrenaline.

Kalki is gorgeous as always and she acted pretty well as expected. I had never seen Rajeev Khandelwal's performance before but in this movie his performace as a cop torn between marital problems and his suspension from duty(not to mention anger issues) is awesome too. He reminded me of Jimmy Shergill in 'A Wednesday'. It was really nice to see Nikhil Chinnapa as Khandelwal's buddy. I liked him on the Roadies audition panel better than Raghu and Rajeev. Raghu and Rajeev made fool of themselves by being in Tees Maar Khan but I would say Nikhil chose this movie very wisely! There are couple of chiched buddy cop dialogues between them but its better to forget them than bother yourself with that stupidity.

You get to see lots of new faces here. And all of them have performed really well. It's hard to pick someone whose perforce you think was out of place. In these kind of group-centric movie its important that all the actors share a good rapport and are given an equal weitage, and you see that happening in this movie.

Overall a fine movie. (7/10)
